Liam Gallagher & John Squire are playing a 3Olympia Theatre Dublin show

Two of the giants of Manchester music are going on tour.

Oasis’ Liam Gallagher and Stone Roses’ guitarist John Squire will be taking the songs from their self-titled debut album on tour this year, with a gig stopping in Dublin on Patrick’s Eve on Saturday March 16th.

The duo’s gig will be in hot demand no doubt so tickets seem to be priced accordingly, from €82.75 including booking fees on sale Friday 2nd February at 9:30AM.

Liam Gallagher and John Squire‘s first song from the album is ‘Just Another Rainbow’.

Their second song ‘Mars To Liverpool’ is out today:

Long-terms friends with a mutual admiration for each other’s work, the idea of a collaboration started when John joined Liam on-stage at his biblical Knebworth shows. Song ideas were soon flowing, and the album took shape with an intuitive intensity during in Los Angeles with the revered producer Greg Kurstin. He played bass throughout the record, while drums were performed by Joey Waronker (Beck, R.E.M., Atoms For Peace).

The tour will see Liam and John lead a band completed by Barrie Cadogan (Little Barrie, Paul Weller) on bass and Joey Waronker on drums. The dates are:

Liam says, “I can’t wait for people to hear the album. I think the people that are into the Stone Roses and Oasis and that kinda thing, I think they’ll fucking love it. It’s spiritual, it’s crucial. LG x”

John adds, “It was really inspiring to have those Knebworth gigs fresh in my mind as I started writing. Then it was a case of trying to steer it away from all being too rocky, and trying to mix up the sentiments as well. I like the way that in some parts, it’s quite melancholic and it can make you well up, but there are other parts that are kind of irreverent, rude or crude. 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.”
