Noel Gallagher will play Oasis tracks on his solo tour

Noel Gallagher's band will go on tour this autumn after his solo record is out

Noel Gallagher says he will play Oasis tracks on his first solo tour of the UK later this year.

The guitarist made the announcement at a press conference promoting his debut album, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, which is out in October.

He said: "They're my songs and I wrote them all by myself. I'm proud of them and what they mean to other people.

"You've got to be on stage and see what the reaction is of the crowd when you play Don't Look Back in Anger."

Noel Gallagher is also releasing a second album next year, which was recorded at the same time as his debut solo record.

The 44-year-old started writing material after Oasis split up in 2009.

Gallagher says the 10 tracks on his first solo album would not be enough to fill up a full set list, meaning he would have to play Oasis songs on tour.

Touring

His brother Liam refuses to play Oasis songs with his solo band, Beady Eye.

"Unfortunately those songs are like drugs to me," added Noel. "I don't think I'd ever do a gig without playing them. That would be crazy.

"That would be like Paul McCartney doing the O2 and just playing Wings stuff."

Noel Gallagher's first solo album was recorded in London and finished in Los Angeles during 2010 and the first half of this year.

It was co-produced by Gallagher and David Sardy.

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds features Jeremy Stacey on drums, Mikey Rowe on keyboards and Mark Neary on double bass.

The band start their tour in Dublin the week after the album is released on 17 October and will play gigs in locations across the UK including London, Glasgow and Manchester.

The track listing for Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds is:

• Everybody's On The Run

• Dream On

• If I Had a Gun…

• The Death of You and Me

• (I Wanna Live in a Dream in my) Record Machine

• AKA…What a Life!

• Soldier Boys and Jesus Freaks
