Manchester rocker Noel Gallagher has revealed that he is planning to perform alongside Blur stars Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon when they support him at a Teenage Cancer Trust gig next year.
Gallagher himself is curating the gig and will be headlining the show, which takes place on March 23rd in London’s Royal Albert Hall. Albarn and Coxon are set to support the star with a medley of Blur songs - and Noel is hoping he’ll have a chance to join in.
Speakign from a press conference, Gallagher explained: “They’ll be playing Blur songs, I would think. I’ll be playing mine. Will we share the stage together? I hope so. I’m up for it. It’s always good to have a little jam.
“I’d initially wanted Blur to do it, because they’ve never done it. I was on tour with Graham, and asked him, and he said Blur had kind of been put to bed, it went back and forth, and they said they’d do it. And yeah: 10 years ago, who’d have thought it?”
Gallagher was then asked if he ever plays Blur tracks whilst jamming at his home, to which he replied: “I do play ‘Tender’ sometimes at home to myself, when Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen Minute Meals is on. He’s got some good stuff going on on there!”
The performance would be an epic show, especially considering the intense rivalry that we saw between Blur and Oasis during their Britpop battles in the 90s. Would you like to see them joining forces? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
