Noel Gallagher on Glastonbury rumours: ‘I’ll be there, shall I take my guitar?’

Frontman also reveals he 'spewed' at idea of an Oasis musical

Noel Gallagher has revealed that he is available to play Glastonbury, suggesting that he might take his guitar and play regardless of whether he is officially booked for the festival or not.

Gallagher appeared as a guest on the XFM Breakfast show with Jon Holmes this morning, the same morning the video for his new single ‘Ballad Of The Mighty I’ was revealed. He was quizzed on his previously stated interest in playing this year’s festival, revealing that he has not heard anything from organisers yet.

“It’s still very much up in the air as far as I know,” he said. “If I’m not playing, I’m going! So I’ll be there. I always keep that weekend free if I can. I will state again I’m available, I’m gonna be there, shall I bring my amp and guitar? Shall I?”

The High Flying Birds musician also dismissed the idea of Oasis following the likes of Michael Jackson, Abba and Queen by turning their music into a musical stage show.

“Somebody did talk to me once about doing a musical, he was an American dude. After I’d stopped laughing I realised that he’d walked off! He was like, ‘The rags to riches story of Oasis.’ After I’d belly-laughed and spewed up my drink, I realised he wasn’t there anymore. I don’t think it’ll be happening anytime soon.”

Gallagher’s upcoming record ‘Chasing Yesterday’ will be his second solo studio album and features his new single ‘In The Heat Of The Moment’. Johnny Marr features on the track ‘The Ballad Of Mighty I’. The full tracklisting is:

‘Riverman’
‘In The Heat Of The Moment’
