Me and a friend were going to buy Wigan tickets today and head down there if there were any changes in the setlist... Ah well, save some money.

Gotta be honest, I'd happily take that setlist over the one when I saw him in the US last year. At least it has In the Heat of the Moment and Dead in the Water on it, two of my favorites. I'd like to give him at least one more try, probably somewhere across the pond where people will at least know the songs. Maybe he'd have better energy then, too. That gig has just gotten more disappointing the longer I've sat with it. I went to three shows each on the CY and WBTM tours and whilst the shape of these were pretty similar each tour, it was different enough throughout to be worth it, with some genuinely excellent gigs in there (all three CY gigs, and London Palladium on WBTM). On this tour I saw Noel at Wembley at Christmas which was fine, and then at Albert Hall in the Spring which was great. But I’ve no great desire to do it again if it’s all the same and if he only plays 4 off of Council Skies AND he insists on the ludicrous working backwards on the setlist.

If Noel bothered to mix things up a bit maybe his gigs would actually sell out.
I'm glad I didn't bother buying London tickets now.
As I've said many times, Noel is really only worth going to see once per album cycle, which is a shame as each tour usually comes through London at least twice.

In fact, even if he just moved the songs about that might be enough. He did one gig (Wycombe? The first one in the UK after the US your?) when we flipped it all around?

Agreed - the gigs are now very predictable and to be honest a tad boring. I am huge Noel fan but it's all gone pretty flat for me on my passion for his music of late.

If Noel truly wanted to shock the world, he'd open a set with Don't Look Back In Anger and then we'd truly be in some uncharted waters

I still love following the new music, Council Skies is fantastic and I liked the EPs a lot. However with money being tight at the moment I don't like to go to more than one gig per album. Considering you're talking £100+ easily for a gig when you include travel etc, when Noel puts zero effort in to mix up the setlist. It's just terrible value for money for the hardcore fans who would usually consider going to multiple gigs on a long tour, I'd rather save the money and see other bands.

He's got the entire oasis catalogue and 4 albums worth of solo stuff. He claims council skies is his favourite ever album etc yet he plays it at the start as if it's just for the sake of getting it out the way before the good stuff. He could easily rotate in likes of EOTR, TDOYAM, LATD, Riverman, BOTMI ...There's no reason to front load the set with solo stuff and not dip into his catalogue he just can't be arsed. It's not worth seeing more than once given price of gigs now.

It took so much of the fun out of the gig. Welp, we're into older stuff now, no more off the new album! Well, we're into Oasis stuff, so I definitely won't get to hear [insert solo song here]. Plus as people have said, it gives the whole thing a very weird energy, because it feels like he doesn't trust the audience to just... sit back and enjoy the performance as it comes. Or maybe he doesn't trust himself to keep people engaged? You can psychoanalyze it lots of ways, but in any case it feels unfriendly to me.

Not to pile on, but could there be a more boring beginning to a concert? I mean I like all those 3-4 tunes, but it’s like 20 minutes before the gig starts to feel electric.

I get the impression that Noël’s ready for this album promotion cycle to be over so he can spend time with his cats, completely understandable….
God bless.

Absolutely no desire to see Noel live atm unless it would be some one-off acoustic show or anything like that. It just became a bit odd. He could even be a bit more creative in the first half of his set with the songs from his solo catalogue.

I think if you pay your hard earned cash to go see him and you didn't have a good time for whatever reason, you're allowed to have a little grumble about it, but people in here moaning about setlists for gigs they didn't even go and see, get a bloody grip.

In your country (UK) you can go to his concerts and still complain. I am deprived of such an opportunity. You know, I envy you all, haha :-)

This is a forum and this thread is about his current live shows. What's the problem discussing his setlists etc in here?! LOL or are only people allowed to post here that went to a show? Would probably only be 2 pages then. Crack on.
I've seen NGHFB 12x over the years on every tour except the CS tour and yes not planning to see him this time. Liam DM Dublin recently did it for me - I'm good.

The British are too spoiled by good music, good concerts. In other countries we cannot even dream about this. You always need to travel or fly somewhere to watch a concert. Noel rarely comes to concerts outside of Britain (Liam, by the way, too). I would always go to their concerts. They're both quite old now, so.. But that's how it is, just saying...

I'm one of those lads..... Simple answer is, we go hoping he'll change it up. But after maybe the 3rd time now where I've gone and thought he'd change his set, he hasn't. Which is why I've decided not to watch him again (multiple times on a tour at least)

The current setlist is good. It works well when you're there and it pleases casual fans too.
That said, he could at least switch the song order, or change a couple of songs every night choosing from a roster of well-rehearsed tracks. It's not hard, come on.
Or, given the DM 30th anniversary, he could play more tracks from the era: Listen Up, Slide Away, Sad Song, Supersonic, or even It's Good to Be Free and Digsy's Dinner. He's already played all of them in the past.
The fact that most setlists since June 2023 are carbon copies is quite annoying if you're a hardcore fan. He's got a huge back catalogue, yet he's stuck with the same songs every night for years.

Enjoy yourselves, it's later than you think. The forum has a rep for being absolutely fucking miserable and it is. Nit pickers. Don't like this and that about the albums, don't like this and that about the songs, don't like this and that about the setlist, Noel's a tory wanker etc It's all right to point out things we don't like about something but with most here there's no positivity, just endless whinging unless it's Liam. I enjoyed seeing Liam and I'll be seeing Noel tonight, go in with my eyes and ears open, know the setlist and what to expect, going to hear some of my fave tunes which I will never tire of hearing and his band which are one of the best sounding bands you can see live atm, never gonna tire of hearing his band. Also Echo and the Bunnymen so it's all good far as I'm concerned.

given the DM 30th anniversary, he could play more tracks from the era I would agree with this. Given its the anniversary, he could chuck a couple in there. As somebody else pointed out, the fact that Liam is out there doing the whole album has probably caused Noel to reject that idea, just because he doesn't want to associate himself with what Liam is doing, which is a shame because the fans are the ones who lose out.
