Liam Gallagher and John Squire sell out joint tour in 30 seconds

Just 30 seconds after the announcement of their joint tour, Liam Gallagher and John Squire have sold out all upcoming tour dates. The duo will visit cities such as Dublin, Glasgow, and Manchester in March of this year to promote their forthcoming self-titled album. The tour’s bassist will be Barrie Cadogan, with Joey Waronker on drums. For all shows except in Brooklyn, Jake Bugg will be their special guest. A video for “Mars To Liverpool”, their most recent single, has also been released to celebrate the sell-out.

The band has given hints about their upcoming album releasing on March 1st. Gallagher thinks that “people that are into the Stone Roses and Oasis and that kinda thing, I think they’ll f___ing love it. It’s spiritual, it’s crucial.” Squire also remarked: “There’s a little bit of everything in there, I think it’s a really good mix. I had a hunch that we’d sound good together, but I wasn’t prepared for it to be such a good fit.” Gallagher recently stated to Radio X that the set will not include songs from Oasis or The Stone Roses, as “No, them songs mean too much to me man for me to be howling over. I wouldn’t mind howling over the Oasis ones and that.”

This year, Gallagher can be seen at Reading & Leeds Festival where he will headline the Friday date and perform Oasis’ ‘Definitely Maybe’ album in full. Unfortunately, the Saturday Reading date has already sold out entirely with Lana Del Rey and Fred Again… set to perform as headliners. Additionally, he is scheduled to participate in a UK and Ireland tour commemorating the 30th anniversary of his classic record ‘Definitely Maybe’, which will take place prior to the Reading & Leeds festival. Remaining tickets for these shows can be found here. Lastly, Gallagher has responded to Dua Lipa’s labeling of Britpop bands as “obnoxious.
