Think Africa Express has announced they are touring too but I have no idea how involved Damon is with their live shows

I guess Africa Express are much more likely to appear at Glastonbury.

[Clarence Clemons]

Would love to see Spiritualized next year!

[Gilgamesh69]

That Damon Iceland project has been rescheduled to next year. I think it's with an orchestra, so maybe it could open the pyramid one day?

 

As far as I'm aware, that Africa Express "tour" (can only find one confirmed show) is just them playing Terry Riley's In C. Doesn't seem to be one of their epic shows that go on for like 5 hours and have loads of special guests. Still, could maybe show up on West Holts?

I thought the In C shows were a few years back

I am an Oasis & Noel Gallagher fan, but I could die happier if I never heard "The Importance of being Idle" again.

They're bringing them back; doing it at Roskilde festival, not sure where else

I absolutely hate that song. Not sure why because by all measures it’s a pretty decent Noel tune, but there’s just something about it that really irks me.

I cant stand it.

A lot of the time Noel nicks bits of tunes & I prefer his version. This one stinks.

Just for fun I can imagine an Oasis reunion tour looking like this.

Somewhat of an enhanced version of what the Stone Roses did. A long string of Wembley and Ethiad dates with Glastonbury. A few gigs in mainland Europe.

Then the following Summer I reckon they would hit the US festival market. I can see Coachella booking them and maybe some other big outdoor gigs there. I then imagine they may do something like Heaton Park in the U.K. and a couple of Euro festivals that want to get them. Perhaps stuff like Werchter classic?

They could easily do two big summers of gigs and sell a shit tonne of tickets. I reckon if they wanted to keep it going for a third summer R&L could probably grab them, but it would probably be at the end of their tour rather than at the start or the middle.

The Roses only did Heaton the first year then hit the festivals and London dates the following summer. Massive initial payoff then mop the rest up later.

I can see Oasis doing the same.

Nah I think they will do a lot of dates as promoters won’t know whether it will last the summer. Waiting a year to get Oasis ain’t a great idea 🤣 they could split again

They said the same about the Roses and they played the same setlist for four/five years before imploding again.

[CaledonianGonzo]

All the excitement of last year's Liam Gallagher set, but with Little By Little added to the setlist and an older moody bowl-cutted c**t playing basic guitar stage right.

You're right, I'd never been so excited to be elsewhere at Glastonbury. 

[Gilgamesh69]

What was so bad about Liam's set?

The songs that weren’t Oasis covers.

[CaledonianGonzo]

The highlight was when he French kissed the words ROCK & ROLL written on an amp.

And the Oasis covers.

Haven't listened to it in ages, but Annie Mac has just randomly played Champagne Supernova - turned it up quite a few notches and stopped what I was doing for a few minutes - absolutely epic song.

[Hugh Jass]

Liam last year was one of those sets that you know you were physically at, but you can’t actually remember a single detail about it.

[CaledonianGonzo]

I remember my brother stood on a baby.

That is something you’d remember.

Especially if you were the baby.

Actually I’m surprised you were there at all CalGon.

I can only assume it was to ensure a decent spot for the Killers.

Took one for the team to keep the gang together for the Saturday night.  Should have been at Sigrid.

That said, it wasn't any noticeably better or worse than any latterday Oasis gigs.

Chris Hawkins announcing the Latitude headliners before 8:30 on 6music if anyone's interested.

Think more names are dropping at 9am.
