About the Artist
Cast, forged in the vibrant musical crucible of Liverpool in the early 1990s, emerged as a cornerstone of the Britpop movement.

Their debut album, 'All Change' (1995), was a phenomenal success, spawning hit singles like 'Alright', 'Walkaway', and 'Finetime', and earning them critical acclaim and a devoted fanbase. Subsequent releases, including 'Mother, Nature Calls' (1997) and 'Magic Hour' (1999), further showcased their evolving artistry, exploring more introspective and expansive musical territories while retaining their signature anthemic quality. Despite lineup changes over the years, John Power's unwavering vision has kept Cast a potent force, delivering live shows that are renowned for their passion and power. Their music continues to resonate, offering a potent blend of classic rock influences and a distinctly British sensibility that appeals across generations.
