Gallagher will begin the tour on August 30 at Hull’s Bonus Arena, heading to London, Birmingham, Cardiff, Leeds and Glasgow, before finishing at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena on December 21.

The tour is in support of the High Flying Birds‘ fourth studio album ‘Council Skies’, which comes out on June 2 via Sour Mash (pre-order here).

It’s going back to the beginning. Daydreaming, looking up at the sky and wondering about what life could be… that’s as true to me now as it was in the early ‘90s. NG

Last week, Gallagher shared ‘Dead To The World’, the latest preview from the album, which he called “by some distance my favourite tune on the album”.

“It has this film noir vibe,” Gallagher said of the track in a statement. “It’s not like anything else I’ve ever done before. It’s very melancholic, but I like that. I’m a Gemini – I’m as up as I am down, and the trick is to meet somewhere in the middle and turn that into music.”

Gallagher’s new offering follows on from the singles ‘Easy Now’ and ‘Pretty Boy’. Earlier this month, the former Oasis singer-songwriter shared a “spacey” remix of the latter song by The Cure frontman Robert Smith.

This summer, Gallagher will showcase ‘Council Skies’ on a run of outdoor UK headline gigs including a recently-announced Brighton date. You can see the full itinerary and purchase any remaining tickets here.

Elsewhere, High Flying Birds and Garbage announced a co-headline tour of North America this summer – find more details and purchase tickets here.
