Cast’s John Power will perform at The Buttermarket in Shrewsbury with his spoken word tour next spring on Sunday 19 April 2026.

He’ll go back on the road with his Cast, The La’s and Me tour – undoubtedly with some extra stories from this summer, when Cast supports Oasis in their return to stadium rock.

John had the best rock’n’roll apprenticeship ever - playing bass as an 18-year-old in The La’s. Forming Cast in 1991, he sang, wrote songs, and played guitar for one of Britpop’s pre-eminent bands–securing two platinum-selling records before returning to the charts in 2024 with the magnificent Love Is The Call.

John’s solo career produced some of his best work and through this summer, Cast will join Oasis at their sell-out football stadium tour.

He said: “I had an absolute belter of a time on the road and can’t wait to go at it again; I am pretty sure I’ll have some great stories from the summer ahead, as well as plenty of other from my career until now. See you there!”

After a very busy 2025, spring will once again, give John time to reflect on Britpop, the hits – Alright, Sandstorm, Walkaway, Flying and more – in this intimate show that mixes his best-loved songs with wild, funny, and tender stories.

Tickets go on sale for The Buttermarket at 10am on Friday 27 June at thebuttermarket.co.uk
