Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ summer 2024 headline shows follow a series of warm-up gigs later this month, held at some of the UK’s most intimate venues. These include a show at Poole’s Lighthouse (March 17), Bournemouth O2 Academy (18) and Portsmouth’s Guildhall (20).
From there, Gallagher will close out the month by returning to the Royal Albert Hall to perform as part of the Teenage Cancer Trust gigs. The set will come as almost a full-circle moment, as the frontman played at the charity’s very first event back in 2000.
Later this summer, the Britpop icon also has some festival appearances lined up, including headline slots at both Kendall Calling and Y Not Festival in August.

High Flying Birds’ last album ‘Council Skies’ arrived last year, and was given a glowing four-star review by NME.
“How far ‘Council Skies’ will travel in the wider pop culture world remains to be seen, but it doesn’t change that it’s the brightest, most listenable collection of songs he’s pieced together in some time,” it read. “Informed by his upbringing in Manchester – but recorded in his swanky new studio in London – ‘Council Skies’ is as satisfying a record as anyone could hope for from a Gallagher in 2023.”
