Usher Hall Exited To Be Holding Noel Gallagher Gig

He is one of music's biggest names and has chosen the relatively intimate surroundings of the Usher Hall to play one of just three gigs.

Noel Gallagher will be returning to the Capital in October for what is set to be one of the most sought-after performances of the year.

The Oasis star announced that the debut live shows of Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds will take place in Dublin, Edinburgh and London.

The gigs mark the first ever live set he will perform with the High Flying Birds and will be the singer's first live performance since his two headlining slots at London's Royal Albert Hall for last year's Teenage Cancer Trusts shows.

Karl Chapman, general manager of the Usher Hall, said attracting Noel Gallagher was a "real coup" for the venue.

He said: "He has been here before when Oasis played the Usher Hall a few years ago and he seemed to really like the venue then.

"It's nice because there are only three dates and I'm thrilled to have him back at the Usher Hall.

"Sometimes when an album comes out, artists like to get a few shows under their belt to get the set warmed up.

"It's great to be part of this small tour."

It is unclear whether his wife, Sara MacDonald, who is from the Capital, will be going along to the Usher Hall gig, as he revealed she does not like any of his music. He said she was "not the biggest fan of anything I've ever done".

Tickets go on sale on Friday.
