May be just for lenght purposes, I've read Two Door Cinema Club set was cut short the day before Anyway, not shocked by the lazy playlist, this whole tour only exist cause of the best of + preparing for Glasto, I'd take it for what it is Hopefully he switches it up when the next album cycle comes

Completely understand it's obviously going to be a setlist catered to festival crowds but would it hurt him to just stick one little surprise in? It's just so safe all of the time. Becoming incredibly stale.

There’s nothing off of Chasing Yesterday? Really?

Becoming incredibly stale. He really isn't doing himself any favours at all. Playing so many HFB songs to begin with too. Not to mention stuff off the last album that gets a lukewarm reception at best from his hardcore fanbase and nothing at festivals. I've been to every High Flying Birds tour so far but with Liam doing Etihad and Knebworth this summer i didn't bother with what Noel is doing and i think it's the first time i've seen so many of his shows not sold out. He seems to look back on the initial HFB era with quite a lot of indifference now but the songs off that album combined with the Oasis songs he was playing were the perfect formula. Okay we've had the WBTM phase but that's all it should be. Take bits from that and mix it with what made the first part of HFB such a success. If he carries on playing this kind of set live and the same sort of album next time it'll be 1500 capacity venues maximum soon.

I'd love to see Noel (or Liam) do two gigs in a row with a completely unique set list for each night - no song performed on one night performed again the next night.
No excuse not to do that - that each have an amazing back catalogue of their own already plus an amazing back catalogue of classic rock songs that have influenced them that they could throw in as covers.
Tape each show and put out a multi-CD set at the end of the tour that includes at least once performance of each song. Maybe a bonus disc of soundcheck material. They're just lazy - especially Noel. I couldn't believe his soundchecks from a couple of years ago that leaked and even the setlist for those was identical each night! He can't even have fun with the band and jam through a different oldie each night with them to warm them up?
Isn't Bob Dylan one of Noel's idols? Even Dylan's band get caught off guard by Bob's constant changes of setlists and tempos and keys. I see The Mighty Quinn was on Noel's setlist? Great, it sounded terrific when he did it months ago! But now it's time to pick another Dylan song to cover - there's hundreds there. Shake it up a bit Noel! Pick a different cover - Beatles, Stones, Dylan, whatever - to do each night. Make each gig unique.

Why on earth is he playing Rattling Rose and Black Star Dancing still?

Why on earth is he playing Rattling Rose and Black Star Dancing still? Yeah exactly. The quote he made about giving the fans a few Oasis songs just because they have paid £50 said it all really. It's a bit of a Bob Dylan/Paul Weller mentality of i don't care what you want from the gig, its my gig. But after so long away and all this time recording new stuff, the least i would have expected is 3 or 4 different Oasis songs and a more varied mix from the HFB catalogue. We all dig Noel out for laziness but this is another level. Surely your brother playing Knebworth would motivate you. It seems not.

I could well enjoy some rarities (or maybe just A Dream Is All I Need to Get By or Flying on the Ground) in place of SCYHO or Whatever but I still think it's a damn good setlist. Especially with Keep on Reaching and the Mighty Quinn. I'd be very happy to hear this at a gig.

Was considering going 2 Dundee next week but after seeing that I'll pass. Same old songs every time. Good songs though they are it gets a bit boring IMO. Sure it'll still be a good gig

Why on earth is he playing Rattling Rose and Black Star Dancing still? Because they fit the vibe they have as a band now, clearly Also people who were there said the likes of Holy Mountain/Beautiful World went down really well, some people happen to like his newer stuff He'll probably trim the amount of HFB when he has a smaller set and keep the Oasis stuff to please the crowd

I was a good gig to be fair, as everyone said though, predictable setlist. But.... It almost didnt go ahead coz of the winds, it was REALLY bad. They brought his set forward 45 mins as there was a storm coming later in the evening. Literally 10mins after he finished there was thunder/lighting etc..

I honestly don't mind that setlist as it is without context, I wish he'd find the space for Everybody's On The Run, This Is The Place and Flying On The Ground (although this may be a tough one to do live) but other than that it's a nice bouncy set and I like it The no CY is weird, but he really seems to view it as a transition record and ITHOTM is probably the only one that would work in the context of a festival I'd also like them to experiment like they did with Let The Lord Shine A Light On Me and The Right Stuff but that's probably for the indoors gigs
I have more of a problem with the Oasis catalogue HTWA, Wonderwall, DLBIA, TIOBI, even LBL I get it, they're classics and 4/5 had Noel on vocals, but he could definitely rotate SCYHO and Whatever with other songs, could be Supersonic, could be Live Forever, could be Cast No Shadow, could be Some Might Say Doesn't have to be an obscure track, just something we haven't heard from him in a while

Yeah I don't get it. I mean he could at least throw Live Forever and Flying On The Ground since he played those last year. And he said they were rehearsing Falling Down, why wait for the new album tour?
Will that be Glastonbury's setlist? Utterly disappointed.

Bought tickets for his Newcastle gig on Friday and part of me wished I hadn’t now. His popularity as a live Act has never been lower, he’s being stubborn and still pushing the last album but soon he’s going to be playing to theatres. I thought with him warming up for glasto it would be a 50/50 solo/oasis split for the festival crowd. Needs to change it even die hard fans are running out of patience. So lazy highlighted by the ridiculous long break between albums.

I went to Noel's 2019 gig in Korea and he sang Live Forever (In fact only began with "Maybe" and let the crazy audience sing the rest). He also said he would not sing this song anywhere.

Super on the fence about attending this Dundee gig next Sat, can’t believe I haven’t bothered to get a ticket and have zero fear about missing out on one. Bit of a shame cause I love WBTM and the EPs but there’s something about him live that makes him not “can’t miss”.

Someone said this before but I hate the way he saves every Oasis song until the end, it's as if he's saying 'ok this is what you really came for'. At least Liam always intersperses Oasis songs with solo stuff, it actually makes it feel nice when his entire encore is Oasis

Can I ask how? Him and the girl shouting hey hey hey repetitively into a microphone doesn't work at a festival. Then rattling rose and most of the WBTM album have literally everyone just stood there looking bored. I don't see how they work at all. Okay if he's still flogging that album then fair game. But they're hardly doing him any favours for an enthralling set.

If this is going to be the same setlist as what he'll be doing for Glastonbury then I don't think that I'll bother watching it on TV or IPlayer. It's just boring.

It's been almost 5 years and yet he's still here putting setlists together as if the album was released last week, at the expense of some of his best work
