Noel Gallagher says he thinks The 1975 are “shit” and “not rock”

Noel Gallagher has shared his thoughts on Guns N’ Roses headlining Glastonbury this weekend, describing the bill topping slot as “crazy shit”.The US band will perform on the Pyramid Stage this Saturday (June 24), in between Arctic Monkeys on Friday (23) and Elton John on Sunday (25).The former Oasis musician, however, has questioned the thinking behind the decision, suggesting that the honour could have gone to a British act instead.“I thought, ‘What? Are you being serious? That’s crazy shit’,” he told the Daily Star‘s ‘Wired’ column, recalling the moment he found out Guns N’ Roses were headlining the iconic British festival.“When you think of all the huge British artists who’ve had albums out this past year, having Guns N’ Roses headlining the Saturday is mad.”Explaining his own absence from Worthy Farm this year – as both a performer and a punter – Gallagher, who released his new album ‘Council Skies’ with the High Flying Birds earlier this month, said his schedule didn’t allow for it.“I would have been smart to play Glastonbury this year, but I played it last year because I’d been booked to do it in 2020 and everything got pushed back,” he said.“There’s always next year to go back to Glastonbury – I’m not going anywhere.“Because of lockdown, the band hadn’t played together for ages – and touring again is joyous.”The singer also explained that he’ll be performing at some smaller festivals instead this year, including PennFest in Buckinghamshire, Splendour Festival in Nottingham and West Yorkshire’s Bingley Weekender.“What I like about boutique festivals is that pretty much everyone will go to see you,” he said.“That makes the festival more like one of our own gigs.

NME, Noel Gallagher has revealed what he considers to be the “flaws” in each of the albums he has made – both with Oasis and solo with The High Flying Birds.Gallagher sat down with NME for the latest in our In Conversation series, when he started by admitting that he is already troubled with an issue with his acclaimed new album ‘Council Skies‘, released just last week.Speaking of the track ‘Think Of A Number’ which he admitted “has got a Bowie feel to it”, Gallagher admitted: “If I had my time again I’d have that as the opening track. Every album that I make tends to be flawed in some way.“This is almost perfect, but the biggest flaw here is that the opening track ‘I’m Not Giving Up Tonight’ should be the closing track and ‘Think Of A Number’ should be the opener – but I didn’t think it was strong enough until it was too late.
