Noel Gallagher has revealed that nachos are the reason Oasis aren't playing London's O2 Area on their UK tour, despite strong rumours to the contrary.

Oasis announced their 'Dig Out Your Soul' UK tour this morning, revealing they will play Wembley Arena in the capital and not the Greenwich venue as widely speculated.

The Oasis leader revealed that the cheesy fast food snack was why they're not playing the former Millennium Dome.

"You'll see the O2 isn't in there," he pointed out to Chris Moyles on Radio 1. "The O2, it's too corporate! I went there for Led Zeppelin - it was good, but there were people walking around with nachos, it's not rock 'n' roll!"

Meanwhile Oasis premiered their comeback single 'The Shock Of The Lightening' on radio this morning. You can hear it throughout the day on NME Radio.

So is Oasis' 'Shock Of The Lightning' any good?. Got to the NME blog now to check out what our reviewers made of Oasis' comeback.

What and Oasis aren't corporate rock? They should only play the O2 and then blow the fuckin thing up with them and all their fans in it!

Have you ever considered not reporting every single piece of dross that falls out of this ignorant twat's mouth? I know you're desperate to give a lot of publicity for their new album so that loads of people will buy it and Oasis will still be seen as relevant which could in some way justify your constant rimming of them despite many, many years of spectacularly poor output. Or maybe you could just stop giving them attention and they'll go away? Wouldn't that be nice? Just a thought....

So they play Wembley Arena instead with it's torch waving security and no alcoholic drinks in the arena policy. Lord knows why they aren't playing Earls Court but sod it, I'm off to Sheffield instead.

The thing that annoys me about his comments are the whole "I went to see led zeppelin" Yes Noel you waved your "I am a star" card and went to see a band where the rest of us spent a day and a half trying to get through simply to register. Then he spends his time moaning about a venue he went to forgetting he was privileged to see Page and Plant together. I want just once Noel to say "Here is our new album, we are Oasis and this is going to be fucking amazing!" But I guess their insecurity about badmouthing other bands helps them along the way.
