Liam Gallagher announces Sheffield tour date

LIAM Gallagher has announced he will be visiting the region as part of his upcoming UK tour.

The former Oasis front man will perform at Sheffield’s Fly DSA Arena on Monday, November 18, 2019.

Liam is set to release his second album Why Me? Why Not in September and recently premiered lead single Shockwave which shot straight to the top of the official vinyl and trending charts.

After its release, Liam heads out on an 11-date UK tour — but before that, fans can catch him perform on Saturday at Glastonbury’s Pyramid Stage

Ahead of the festival, Liam has shared new track The River. Powered by a visceral, driving riff The River finds Liam’s distinctive sneering vocal delivering a rallying call for the current generation to fight for change. Its anarchic attitude targets the figureheads of the establishment — from money-sucking MPs to vacant celebrities.

The River lives up to Liam’s ambition for Why Me? Why Not. He said: “I want the second album to be a step-up because the hardest thing to do is to make something the same, only better. So that’s what we’ve done. It’s a better record than (first album) As You Were. Which is saying something, as that was epic, wasn’t it?”

Tickets go on general sale at 9am on Friday, July 12, priced from £35.55 and will be available via the booking hotline on 0114 256 56 56 or online at www.flydsaarena.co.uk.
