Noel Gallagher performing with the High Flying Birds at Kenwood House, June ’22 (Alessandro Gianferrara for Live4ever)
Noel Gallagher’s latest dates go on sale from December 8th.
Noel Gallagher has announced four outdoor UK concerts for summer 2024.
The High Flying Birds add to Halifax’s Piece Hall’s growing list of performers next year, that gig on August 1st closing the short run after the other confirmed shows in Cardiff, Wigan and London.
Gallagher is due to start a UK arena tour later this month, all supporting his 2023 solo album Council Skies.
“Luscious strings dominate, supplied by orchestral arranger and long-time High Flying Birds collaborator Rosie Danvers, working wonderfully in tandem with the classically uplifting (Noel Gallagher’s trademark) I’m Not Giving Up Tonight, which dustily looks forward (‘the good lady said it’s time to free my soul,’) with head held high,” our review reads.
Then a stylistic volte-face occurs as motoring Krautrock monster Pretty Boy rolls into view. With typically frenetic guitar from Johnny Marr, it’s perhaps the closest to Noel Gallagher’s work with David Holmes and uneasily builds as layer lands upon layer wonkily. Perhaps not appreciated at the time of release, it’s sure to be a staple of his live shows.
2024 tour dates:
July
17 Cardiff, Castle
18 Wigan, Robin Park
20 London, Alexandra Palace Park
August
