Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds today unveil two new versions of the classic Oasis songs ‘Going Nowhere’ and ‘The Masterplan’ recorded at London’s iconic Abbey Road Studios. 

‘The Masterplan’ and ‘Going Nowhere’ have become mainstays in Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ recent live sets to a rapturous response. The original recorded versions of both tracks appear on Oasis’ B-sides album ‘The Masterplan’, which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, re-entering the UK Official Albums Chart at No. 2 in November.

Today’s news comes just days ahead of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ much-anticipated run of British arena shows this month, beginning at London’s Wembley Arena on Thursday (14th December). These shows follow a busy November that has taken in touring across three continents and cap off a huge 2023 for Noel, which has seen the release of his fourth studio solo album ‘Council Skies’, a mammoth 26-date USA tour, and epic headline outdoor shows including IMMA Royal Hospital Kilmainham, Dublin. The summer culminated with the band’s biggest-ever headline gig to date, a celebratory homecoming show at Manchester’s Wythenshawe Park on August Bank Holiday weekend.

‘Council Skies’, which is widely regarded as Noel’s most complete solo statement to date, includes ‘Open The Door, See What You Find’, ‘Pretty Boy’, ‘Easy Now’, and current single ‘We’re Gonna Get There In The End’ which is currently featured on multiple key national radio playlists. The album has received widespread critical acclaim and has already been featured in several Albums Of The Year lists.
