Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds

Stranded on the Earth World Tour

Noel Gallagher, Ancient Theatre, June 19th 2018 @ 9.45pm

Noel Thomas David Gallagher (born 29 May 1967) is an English singer, songwriter and guitarist. He served as the lead guitarist, co-lead vocalist and principal songwriter of the English rock band Oasis which he left in 2009.

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds are an English rock band formed in 2010 as the solo moniker of former Oasis lead guitarist and songwriter Noel Gallagher. The touring band consists of former Oasis guitarist Gem Archer, former Oasis session pianist Mike Rowe, former Oasis drummer Chris Sharrock, and The Zutons bassist Russell Pritchard.
The band has also had a variety of guests contribute to their albums such as the Crouch End Festival Chorus, Amorphous Androgynous and Johnny Marr.

Since his departure from Oasis in August 2009, many speculated that Noel Gallagher might record a solo album. In July 2011, he held a press conference to confirm that this was the case, after denying rumours from his brother Liam Gallagher that he had already heard the tracks featured on it. Later that year, Noel Gallagher released the project’s self-titled debut album. Several singles from the album were released, including “The Death of You and Me”, “If I Had a Gun…”, “AKA… What a Life!”, “Dream On” and “Everybody’s on the Run”. In 2015, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds released their second album, Chasing Yesterday. Their third, Who Built the Moon?, followed in November 2017.

Each year on April 30, this international art form is recognized for promoting peace, dialogue among cultures, diversity, and respect for human rights and human dignity; eradicating discrimination; promoting freedom of expression; fostering gender equality; and reinforcing the role of youth in enacting social change.
