The tour announcement follows the release of Dead To The World, a haunting new track from Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ eagerly anticipated fourth studio album Council Skies, due for releae on June 2. Noel has hailed the new song "by some distance my favourite tune on the album."

He says: "It has this film noir vibe. It’s not like anything else I’ve ever done before. It’s very melancholic, but I like that. I’m a Gemini – I’m as up as I am down, and the trick is to meet somewhere in the middle and turn that into music."

Tickets will go on general sale from 9am on Friday March 31. Tickets will be available from Ticketmaster and See Tickets here.

Tickets will be available for special pre-sale on Wednesday 29th March for fans who pre-order the forthcoming new album, Council Skies, via the official Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds store here.
