Man the barricades and put your crash helmets on...the Gallaghers are coming to Scotland. Email can exclusively reveal Oasis will play their first gigs here for three years. Details of their eagerly awaited UK tour - to promote new album Dig Out Your Soul - are still shrouded in secrecy. But we can confirm the band will play at Aberdeen Exhibition Centre on November 2 then Glasgow's SECC on November 4 and 5. Tickets go on sale on August 20. It is the first time they have played shows in Scotland since headlining a massive 40,000-capacity open-air gig at Hampden Park, Glasgow, in 2005. The group - led by guitarist Noel Gallagher and singer brother Liam - release new single The Shock Of The Lightning on September 29. Dig Out Your Soul follows on October 6. It is their seventh studio album and was recorded at the legendary Abbey Road. Noel said: "If The Shock Of The Lightning sounds instant and compelling it's because it was written and recorded dead fast. "It's basically a demo and has retained its energy. There's a lot to be said for that - the first time you record something is always the best. "On the album I wanted a sound that was more hypnotic, more driving. Songs you would maybe have to connect to...to feel." Noel also paid tribute to the songwriting efforts of brother Liam on the new CD. The fiery singer penned three tracks including I'm Outta Time, which features a speech sample by his hero, John Lennon. Noel said: "Liam's songs are really personal. What's his favourite subject? Himself. He's really good. "If he could be bothered to finish some of the songs he started...they're amazing." Source: www.sundaymail.co.uk |

^^^ Usually they go on sale at 9am and are all gone by 9.05am Ticketmaster will have them. The SECC and AECC will have an allocation too - you could try phoning but that doesn't always work either  . Basically, you have to try anything and everything. You could even go down to Glasgow or across to Aberdeen! And while you're at it, get a couple for me ;D |
