Liam Gallagher On Wanting To Play At 'We Are Manchester' Charity Benefit

The former Oasis frontman has responded to further questions about whether he’ll join the bill in re-opening the Manchester venue next month.

Liam Gallagher has re-confirmed that he’s up for playing the We Are Manchester charity benefit next month… but that he thinks it will really be his brother Noel’s night.

We Love Manchester will re-open the Manchester Arena on Saturday 9 September with a special benefit concert featuring Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Courteeners, Blossoms and more. Also on the bill will be Rick Astley and poet Tony Walsh, with a DJ set from Clint Boon of Inspiral Carpets.

It will be the first gig held there since the terrorist bomb attack in May, which killed 22 people following an Ariana Grande concert.

Speaking to Radio X’s Sunta Templeton backstage at Leeds Festival last night (25 August), the former Oasis frontman said: “I think this one’s going to be our Noel’s night. Not that it’s about Noel, but you know me, I’m just winding him up. But if someone asked me and they were sincere, I’d definitely be there, man. “But I don’t think it’s gonna happen.”

Liam made an appearance at Ariana Grande’s benefit show in June, where he performed an Oasis classic with Coldplay’s Chris Martin.

Video: Noel Gallagher On The Manchester Terrorist Attack

Noel Gallagher has spoken to Radio X about his thoughts on the Manchester terrorist attack.

Speaking to John Kennedy as part of an interview about his career to be aired in full this Sunday at 8pm, Gallagher claimed the news had rendered him “speechless”.

22 people - many of them children - had been killed following a concert by US singer Ariana Grande at Manchester Arena on Monday night (22 May).

Noel explained: “I put on the radio [that morning] and of course you hear what’s happened and you know… it takes a while.

“Having played that arena and all that and stood in that foyer, and being from Manchester… It dawns on you that it’s aimed at young music fans.

“I’m saying that there are no words but there ARE words. But unfortunately, you can’t broadcast those words.

Noel, who hails from the Burnage area of Greater Manchester, went on: “But I suppose Manchester Arena will open again and, yeah, you have to keep going. I mean I don’t know what Ariana Grande is gonna do. I couldn’t imagine that…

Kennedy then asked if Noel felt sympathy for Ariana Grande, the 23-year-old musician who attracts a great many children and teenage fans.

Noel replied: “I don’t know what I would feel or how I would react. You just don’t know.

“I’ve got a teenage daughter, and you know, she may well have been there. But bar a couple of friends of friends who were in hospital and two very close shaves, all the people that I know didn’t get involved in it or weren’t caught up in it.

“But you know, I think this particular atrocity will take quite a while to heal.”

Noel joins a long list of Manchester artists to pay tribute to the city, with his brother Liam Gallagher, The Smiths' Johnny Marr and Courteeners' Liam Fray all sharing their heartfelt condolences.

Noel was talking to Radio X as part of an interview celebrating his 50th Birthday, which will feature a special show broadcast on the Bank Holiday weekend.

What A Life! Noel At 50, which will take a look back at the life and career of Gallagher, with reminiscences about his work with Oasis and his solo albums with the High Flying Birds, will air on Sunday at 8pm on Radio X.

Glasvegas, Courteneers And Blackout On Oasis Split

As Oasis split up, we spoke to Glasvegas, Courteneers, Blackout and Matt from Skint and Demoralized at Reading Festival about the news.

The Courteeners’ Liam Fray: 'Oasis Aren't Finished'

Frontman adds that the Gallagher's split means The Courteeners are now Manchester's biggest band.

The Courteeners frontman Liam Fray has given NME.COM his reaction to Noel Gallagher’s decision yesterday (August 28) to quit Oasis, saying he doesn’t believe the band is finished.

Fray, who is onsite at Reading Festival and due to play on the Main Stage this afternoon (August 29), also pointed out that with the Gallagher brothers seemingly not working with each other, The Courteeners are now Manchester’s biggest band.

“I can’t see it being the end [of Oasis],” he said. “They’ve always been ambiguous, haven’t they? Will they, wont they? It’s strange though. I’m pretty shocked and I’m upset. But, you know, it just makes us the biggest band in Manchester now, doesn’t it?!”

Despite his bravado, the frontman said he was saddened by the appearnet split, and paid tribute to Oasis by saying they were the reason he started playing music as an adolescent.

“I’m really, really upset, because they were a big part of my life growing up. Noel’s the reason why I picked up the guitar when I was 11-years-old - trying to learn ‘Wonderwall’. And Liam, as he is, is a fantastic singer. [I’ve] got a lot of respect for them both.”
