Noel Gallagher played a triumphant set of established hits and new material at the Tufnell Park Dome last night (Monday 2 February) - launching new album, Chasing Yesterday.
Playing for just over an hour, Gallagher’s set list including latest singles 'The Ballad of Mighty I' and 'In the Heat of the Moment', alongside Oasis classic 'It’s Good to be Free' and 'Don’t Look Back in Anger'.
However, fans were not treated to an extended set as, prior to the latter, Gallagher admitted, “They’ll be no encore tonight [because] I’m off to see Prince and he’s on stage in ten minutes”, before responding to a single boo with “don’t knock the Purple One”.
The gig represented a rare opportunity for fans to see Gallagher, who tours more extensively with UK arena dates scheduled for next month and a summer world tour, in such an intimate venue. Fans had had to face the lottery of applying through a ballot for tickets at the 600 capacity venue with thousands missing out, whilst posters plastered around the Dome made it clear that performance was also being filmed so expect to see footage emerge in the not too distant future.
Meanwhile, Noel Gallagher was recently announced as headliner of Calling Festival, at London's Clapham Common and also see appearances from Ryan Adams & The Shining, The Hives, Echo & The Bunnymen with many, many more to be announced.
Calling Festival takes place on Clapham Common on Saturday 4 July. Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday 6 February.

Former Oasis star Noel Gallagher says there are “not too many posh people - just not enough working class people" in the arts.
The singer-songwriter was responding to the row between James Blunt and the Shadow Arts Minister Chris Bryant, about whether it was easier for performers from privileged backgrounds to become successful.
"The working classes don't seem to have much of a voice or a presence in the charts or in the magazines of late," he said.

You wait months for one secret gig in London, and then two monumental shows come along at once.
Noel Gallagher and Prince competed for the hottest ticket in town, with the former Oasis star playing to 200 people at Dome Tufnell Park while the US singer performed at Koko in Camden.
But Gallagher appeared to graciously accept defeat, finishing a one-hour set and telling fans he had to “dash off” before heading 10 minutes down the road to watch Prince’s gig.
The Britpop artist, 47, played songs from forthcoming album Chasing Yesterday and finished with Oasis hit Don’t Look Back In Anger. The gig was a warm-up before an arena tour next month which will culminate in a headline slot - his biggest ever as a solo artist - at Calling Festival in Clapham on July 4.
Down the road, Prince, 56, was joined by his band 3RDEYEGIRL and performed a set that included Purple Rain, Let’s Go Crazy, Kiss and When Doves Cry. He finished the impromptu charity show - in aid of Autism Rocks - with a cover of Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get Enough featuring US singer Liv Warfield.

James Blunt
Noel Gallagher
Oasis
Sleaford Mods
Noel Gallagher has waded into the debate on working class people in the arts claiming there are not enough of them represented in the music industr and the ones that are ‘are just idiots’.
The High Flying Birds frontman, originally from Burnage, was speaking during an interview on 5 live Drive earlier today (MON) after the debate hit the headlines last week thanks to James Blunt and the Shadow Arts Minister Chris Bryant.
The singer-songwriter, who found fame with iconic Manchester band Oasis has blamed the recession on the reason people from poorer backgrounds struggled to find success in the industry.
He said: “I think with the recession and all that there’s a few things that have happened.
"It’s not possible for a working class people to sustain a music career if they don’t make it if they don’t have record labels and stuff.
"That’s become more difficult because of the recession. And you know the smaller type venues and rehearsal spaces they are all closing down now and becoming posh restaurants and flats. And that has taken the spaces for these bands or kids in bands to grow."
Last week singer James Blunt squared up to Labour’s shadow secretary for culture Chris Bryant over a debate there were too many upper class people in the arts and not enough opportunities from people from other backgrounds.
In his interview on 5 live Drive the outspoken City fan added: “I’m not sure there’s too many posh people in the arts - there’s just not enough working class people.
“I’m not an economic brain box but the working class don’t seem to have much of a voice or a presence in the charts or in the magazines of late, wouldn’t you agree? And the working class people that there are in there are just idiots.”
When asked whether there were any working class artists he had in mind when he said that Noel immediately replied: “I can think of Sleaford Mods for one, they are an embarrassment. And there’s some very tax efficient working class people knocking about isn’t there?”
The singer has hit the headlines a lot recently, after questioning how Ed Sheeran could sell out Wembley, declaring James Blunt song’s boring and disagreeing with how U2 delivered their latest album.

Noel admitted that Liam took a little “cheeky” dig at him “He said, ‘I’d have smashed 'Everybody's On the Run',’ I was like, ‘Yeah, whatever.’ Like I said, a cheeky little c–t,”.

Kasabian
Noel Gallagher
Oasis
Serge Pizzorno
Former Oasis star Noel Gallagher has accused the Brits of being "rigged" to the detriment of independent artists.
"I'm an independent artist and we get shafted by people at the Brits," the musician told the BBC's Colin Paterson.
"You won't see an independent artist [among the nominees], unless they sell 50 million records and it becomes an impossibility to leave them out."
The annual ceremony, he claimed, was "a bit of a carve-up between the majors" - though he said he still enjoyed going.
"Don't let this put you off giving me a table," he continued. "I like award ceremonies and all that social scene - it's a good laugh."
Gallagher, who now performs with his High Flying Birds band, cited Kasabian's omission from this year's nominations as particularly egregious.
"If Kasabian don't fulfil the criteria for one of the best groups, what is that saying?" he said of the Leicester-based rockers.
His comments follow a claim by Kasabian's Sergio Pizzorno that the band were victims of a Brits "conspiracy" against "working class rock 'n' roll bands".
A spokeswoman for the Brit Awards said: "Over 1,000 music enthusiasts which include representation from all sectors of the music industry (record labels, publishers, managers, agents, media, NUS Ents officers along with the 'Artist' sector) are invited to be official Brits Voting Academy members.
"In order to ensure the integrity of the vote, the voting process is managed and scrutinised by Electoral Reform Services (ERS)."
Kasabian were nominated nine times between 2005 and 2012 and were named best British group in 2010.
Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds performed at the 2012 ceremony, at which he was nominated for the best male award.
Oasis won five Brits and a lifetime achievement award prior to the band's disintegration in 2009.
Sam Smith leads the field at this year's Brit Awards, having been nominated in five categories.
Ant and Dec will host the ceremony, which takes place in London's O2 arena on 25 February.
Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds were confirmed on Monday as the headline act at the Calling festival on London's Clapham Common on 4 July.

Oasis
The Jam
The Smiths
Noel Gallagher believes today’s rock bands are so dull that he would “rather drink petrol” than listen to an interview with Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner.
The 47-year-old singer claimed there are no real characters left in music because of the power held by the big record labels.
In an exclusive interview with the Standard, the former Oasis guitarist said: “There is a lot of shit pop music these days that’s just devouring everything at the minute. I’m hoping that will come to an end.
“There doesn’t seem to be any characters any more. When you have proper characters, the music sort of becomes secondary — it looks after itself. Look at bands like The Smiths and The Jam — all great characters.
“I would rather drink petrol straight from the nozzle at a garage than listen to an interview with Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys. Wouldn’t you? Alternative thinking is on its way out. They just don’t make for great copy.
“Is it any coincidence that all the indie labels got bought up by the major labels and things have started to get boring?” Gallagher spoke as he was announced as the first headliner for this year’s Calling Festival, on Clapham Common on July 4.
He believes the dullness has spilled into the Brit Awards, adding: “I remember the Brits in 1994 — we were all shit-faced on drugs. The new names like James Blunt, Ed Sheeran and Jessie J — they defer to the [record] labels. The bands that I grew up with had a healthy dose of indifference and contempt towards their labels. That has gone.” Gallagher may be a famous Mancunian, but insists he will never leave London, where he has lived for more than 20 years: “I can’t see myself ever leaving. It is the greatest city in the world. It is the capital of Europe. I’ve been to them all, but there’s something quite special about London in the summertime — the social life, the culture, the nightlife.
“I’d never go into politics, but if I was mayor I’d have to sort out the transport system. I can’t drive and I can’t be arsed sitting in traffic jams in a taxi, so I get the Tube everywhere.
“But when you go around the world, most cities have got state-of-the-art underground and subway systems — we are bumbling around on a post-war system that’s falling apart. I think the people deserve better.”
Gallagher, who lives in Little Venice with wife Sara MacDonald and their sons Donovan, seven, and Sonny, four, says he has no problems adjusting from being a rock musician to being a father: “I’m not a boring dad — I’m a rock star! But you have to adjust.
“My two young boys are not remotely interested in what I do. I could have just come off the stage at the Hollywood Bowl, and they’ll just give me a light sabre and say, ‘Right dad, we’re having it in the back garden now!’”
The singer is due to release his second solo album, Chasing Yesterday, next month and is playing at The Dome in Tufnell Park tonight. Tickets for Calling Festival go on sale on Friday at 9am.

Bono
Noel Gallagher
Oasis
U2
Noel Gallagher claims Bono was stunned to learn he had produced his latest album himself.
Bono's face "nearly melted" when Noel Gallagher told him he'd produced his own album.
The 47-year-old singer left the U2 frontman shocked when he revealed he had taken matters into his own hands on his second Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds studio album, 'Chasing Yesterday', and he doesn't think the 54-year-old star's group would ever dream of doing something similar.
He said: "I told Bono this one afternoon, and his face nearly melted. Cos U2 take five years and six producers before they work out what their album even means."
Noel took the reins of his album when producer Dave Sardy was unavailable and the former Oasis star - who regularly clashed with his brother Liam Gallagher during his times in the indie group - enjoyed having creative control of the record.
He added to Q magazine: "I refused to over-think it. I understand making records by committee when there's five lads in a band.
"But I'm a solo artist on my own record label.
"So I said, 'I won't take any discussion about this. We will go in and record the album and then let the people decide whether it's good enough.' "

He said, "If I wrote songs about my own life, they would be more boring than James Blunt. If that's at all possible, which we all know, of course, it's not."
The You're Beautiful hitmaker failed to take offence and humorously responded to the jibe.
He took to Twitter.com and wrote, "For once, I agree with him."

Edith Bowman
James Blunt
Noel Gallagher
Oasis
The Beatles
Noel Gallagher has dismissed the idea of drawing from his own life when looking for songwriting inspiration, saying such a strategy would produce work "more boring than James Blunt".
Gallagher was talking to BBC Radio 2 DJ Edith Bowman (who was filling in for Dermot O'Leary) earlier this afternoon (January 31) about his forthcoming album 'Chasing Yesterday', and described the set as lacking a cohesive narrative.
When asked if he considered writing about his own experiences, Gallagher said: "If I wrote songs about my own life, they would be more boring than James Blunt. If that's at all possible, which we all know, of course, it's not."
The former Oasis guitarist was also asked if he had allowed himself to reflect on the past when the band's debut album 'Definitely Maybe' celebrated its 20 year anniversary last year.
"It's an amazing thing to have been involved in a band that people took to their hearts," said Gallagher, who went on to reveal he gets asked about the possibility of an Oasis reunion at least twice a week. Paraphrasing his response to fans who ask, he said: "I never got to see The Beatles, and I'm a bigger fan of The Beatles than you are of my band."
Speaking to NME for his recent cover story, Gallagher described 'Chasing Yesterday' as being full of "songs that make you kind of punch in the air while crying a little bit".

Noel Gallagher On Producing Work More Boring Than James Blunt
Noel Gallagher has dismissed the idea of drawing from his own life when looking for songwriting inspiration, saying such a strategy would produce work "more boring than James Blunt".
Gallagher was talking to BBC Radio 2 DJ Edith Bowman (who was filling in for Dermot O'Leary) earlier this afternoon (January 31) about his forthcoming album 'Chasing Yesterday', and described the set as lacking a cohesive narrative.
When asked if he considered writing about his own experiences, Gallagher said: "If I wrote songs about my own life, they would be more boring than James Blunt. If that's at all possible, which we all know, of course, it's not."
