Liam Gallagher and John Squire announce self-titled album and 2024 tour

26 January 2024

Liam Gallagher and John Squire have unveiled their self-titled album and announced a 2024 tour.

Liam Gallagher and John Squire are touring their joint album this March and April

The former Oasis frontman, 51, and ex-Stone Roses guitarist, 61, have already released the singles 'Just Another Rainbow' and 'Mars to Liverpool’, which arrived today (26.01.24), both of which are in the vein of their respective former Britpop and Madchester groups, and fans can get their hands on the full record on March 1.

The pair will then hit the road for a series of intimate shows in the UK, Ireland, Italy, France, Germany, and America, including two nights in London at the O2 Forum Kentish Town on March 25 and the Troxy on March 26, which holds just 3,100 people.

They've also unveiled their band, including bassist Barrie Cadogan - who has worked with Liam's arch-nemesis sibling Noel Gallagher's longtime pal Paul Weller, whom Liam has mocked over the years - and Joey Waronker (R.E.M. and Beck) on drums.

Jake Bugg is set to support the pair on all dates except Brooklyn.

Liam said: “I can't wait for people to hear the album. I think the people that are into the Stone Roses and Oasis and that kinda thing, I think they'll [redacted] love it. It's spiritual, it's crucial. LG x."

John added: “It was really inspiring to have those Knebworth gigs fresh in my mind as I started writing. Then it was a case of trying to steer it away from all being too rocky, and trying to mix up the sentiments as well. I like the way that in some parts, it's quite melancholic and it can make you well up, but there are other parts that are kind of irreverent, rude or crude. There's a little bit of everything in there, I think it's a really good mix. I had a hunch that we’d sound good together, but I wasn’t prepared for it to be such a good fit.”

Liam first teased the project after he surprised fans by bringing John out for his pair of Knebworth shows in June 2022 to perform Oasis' 1995 classic 'Champagne Supernova', as he did at their iconic 1996 gigs there.

'Live Forever' hitmaker Liam has boasted that the upcoming collection is "the best record" since The Beatles’ 'Revolver'.
