Hitting the road between March and April 2023 , the thirteen date run will feature shows all across the UK, including stops in Glasgow, Nottingham, London and a homecoming show at Manchester’s Albert Hall (1st April). Intended to be “a celebration of the music we created, which has brought so much joy to people over the last 34 years” , the shows will also be the band’s first since the tragic passing of the band’s drummer Craig Gill in 2016. Speaking about their decision to tour again and what they hope to bring to fans at these 2023 shows, Inspirals frontman Stephen Holt says: “With all the bad news in the country and the world at the moment I feel everyone could do with some good news and a good time, and we’re here to deliver. After coming through a really difficult time as a band we now feel ready to return and give the best fans in the world what they have been calling for. We couldn’t stay away forever. The band means too much to so many people just to leave things how they sadly ended in 2016.”

A vital component of the infamous ‘Madchester’ movement, Inspiral Carpets formed in Oldham in 1980. With 3 Top 10 albums (‘Life’, ‘The Beast Inside’ and ‘The Revenge of the Goldfish’) and 11 Top 40 hit singles to their name including ‘This Is How It Feels’, ‘Saturn 5’, ‘Move’, ‘Caravan’ and ‘She Comes in the Fall’, they remain one of the era’s most celebrated and enduring acts. Much-loved not only in Manchester but all across the UK, Inspiral Carpets last took to the stage in 2015 at Leeds O2 Academy – a venue they will return to for the first time since on Saturday 8th April next year. Following the tragic loss of their close friend and drummer, Craig Gill , a year later, they went on an indefinite hiatus. “Craig’s death had a profound effect on many people. The outpouring of love from around the world at the time gave some comfort to his family and friends as we all tried to come to terms with what had happened” the band say. On the news of their 2023 reunion tour , the band are keen to emphasise the celebratory nature of the forthcoming live shows, giving fans a chance to sing along to their favourite hits and commemorate the life of Craig. As the band add: “We know this will be an emotional journey for a lot of people, not least Craig’s family. We hope you’ll join us as we celebrate some of the music we created, and which has brought so much joy to people over the last 34 years.”

Inspiral Carpets Announce 2023 Greatest Hits Tour – Their First Australian Shows in 30 Years

30 years since they last visited the country, influential Madchester outfit Inspiral Carpets have announced their return to Australia. The veteran English group will celebrate their 40th anniversary with a national tour throughout July and August 2023.

Inspiral Carpets formed in 1983 and rose to prominence later in the decade alongside contemporaneous Mancunian acts The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays . They released their critically-acclaimed debut album, Life , in 1990 and their second, The Beast Inside , in 1991. The band’s one and only Australian tour came in 1993, by which time they’d released their third album, 1992’s Revenge Of The Goldfish .

Inspiral Carpets – ‘This Is How It Feels’

Inspiral Carpets released their fourth album, Devil Hopping, in 1994 but were dropped by their label, Mute Records, in 1995 and split up shortly thereafter. The classic lineup of vocalist Tom Hingley, guitarist Graham Lambert, keyboardist Clint Boon, bass player Martyn Walsh and drummer Craig Gill got back together in 2003 for a couple of UK tours.

Original vocalist Stephen Holt replaced Hingley in 2011 and the Carpets released their fifth album, Inspiral Carpets, in 2014. The band parted ways again in 2016 following Gill’s death at the age of 44. Lambert, Boon and Holt will be joined on the upcoming Australian tour by drummer Kev Clark and bass player Jake Fletcher.

Inspiral Carpets 2023 Australian Tour

Saturday, 29th July – Rosemount Hotel, Perth, WA

Thursday, 3rd August – The Triffid, Brisbane, QLD

Friday, 4th August – Manning Bar, Sydney, NSW

Saturday, 5th August – Croxton Bandroom, Melbourne, VIC

Legendary Manchester band Inspiral Carpets are reuniting for a 2023 tour

The group went on an indefinite hiatus in 2015 shortly after the death of their friend and drummer

Manc legends Inspiral Carpets have announced details of a live tour next spring.

The group, who were an integral part of the Madchester movement, are heading out for their first live shows since 2015.

They say it will be a ‘celebration of the music we created, which has brought so much joy to people over the last 34 years’.

The tour will, of course, include a date in their home city here in Manchester , where they will perform at the Albert Hall.

Inspiral Carpets first formed in Oldham in 1980, and are loved for singles including This is How it Feels , Saturn 5 , and She Comes in the Fall .

Their keyboard player Clint Boon is a familiar face on Manchester’s music and nightlife circuit, DJing at venues and festivals across the region.

The group last performed at the Leeds O2 Academy, but went on an indefinite hiatus after the death of their close friend and drummer Craig Gill.

A statement from the group said: “Craig’s death had a profound effect on many people.

“The outpouring of love from around the world at the time gave some comfort to his family and friends as we all tried to come to terms with what had happened.”

Singer-songwriter sensation Noah Kahan is heading to the Co-op Live arena in Manchester this week.

The folk-pop singer has always had legions of loyal fans but really hit the mainstream with his breakthrough third album, Stick Season.

The title track of that album shot Noah Kahan to the top of the UK singles charts and led to his first Grammy nomination.

He’s also collaborated with the likes of Hozier and Julia Michaels over the years.

Noah Kahan embarked on an arena tour around the UK earlier this year, but now he’s back and heading straight to Manchester.

He’s set to play at the new Co-op Live arena on Tuesday 13 August.

If you’re heading along to the show, here’s everything you need to know.

Who’s supporting Noah Kahan in Manchester?

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Maisie Peters (@maisiehpeters)

Maisie Peters has been announced as the support act for Noah Kahan’s Co-op Live gig in Manchester.

The much-loved British singer has two albums to her name, and won the Breakthrough Award at the Rolling Stone Awards last year.

She’s a bit of a pro at warming up a crowd too, having supported everyone from Taylor Swift to Coldplay to Ed Sheeran in the last few years.

Are there still tickets for Noah Kahan’s Co-op Live gig in Manchester?

General admission tickets are completely and utterly sold out at this point.

There are still some tickets floating around on resale sites but make sure you’re using a reputable platform so you don’t get scammed.

Stage times for Noah Kahan

The exact stage times for his Co-op Live gig haven’t been shared yet, but we do now this:

Doors – 6.30pm
Show starts – 8pm
Curfew – 11pm

It’s likely that Maisie Peters will be on stage at 8pm, with Noah following on some time between 9pm and 9.30pm.

We’ll update this article as soon as stage times are confirmed.

What’s the setlist for Noah Kahan?

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Noah Kahan (@noahkahanmusic)

Manchester has the first show back here in the UK on his current tour, so there’s a chance he’ll shake up his setlist for us.

But this is the setlist he’s stuck to in the US recently.

Dial Drunk New Perspective Everywhere, Everything False Confidence Forever Come Over Godlight Paul Revere All My Love Your Needs, My Needs You’re Gonna Go Far Homesick B-Stage: Green Monster Growing Sideways Maine Main Stage She Calls Me Back Call Your Mom Orange Juice Northern Attitude Encore: Young Blood Mess The View Between Villages Stick Season

What about special guests?

Noah Kahan LOVES to bring out a surprise guest for his audiences.

Famous faces who have joined him on stage in the last year include Hozier, Mumford & Sons, Gracie Abrams, Dermot Kennedy and Remi Wolf.

The rumour mill for his Manchester show is already turning, with whispers of a Sam Fender appearance. It’ll probably be Aitch though. That boy loves a surprise appearance .

Beyond The Music (BTM) will once again take over Manchester later this year for the second year of the new music festival and conference and the full lineup has now been released.

Providing a spotlight for up-and-coming artists as well as addressing some of the most demanding issues in the music and content industry today, it’s much more than just a live festival.

BTM has announced the second wave of artists for their lineup this Fall and it’s looking incredible. From DJs to solo artists and bands, this festival has it all with a huge selection of genres to choose from,

Some of the new artists set to play across the Northern Quarter this October feature Aussie indie rock band The Vanns, Riya, Alien Chicks, Zola Courtney, Coults, Jaws the Shark, Human Interest, local singer-songwriter Renee Stormz and more. There’s something for everyone

One thing that sets this festival apart from the rest is that the organisers prioritise curating a line-up with new talent, as opposed to huge headliners. This provides a platform for the artists to be seen and get the recognition they deserve.

Over 200 artists have been announced across the jam-packed three nights, with performances spread across thirteen venues around Manchester around NQ .

This year’s venues include:

Off The Square.
33 Oldham St
Aatma.
Castle.
Gullivers
Band On The Wall Bar
Matt ans Phreds
Night and Day Cafe
Stage and Radio.

You can view the full Beyond The Music lineup for 2024, a complete list of festival partners and more down below:

As the name would suggest, it’s about much more than just the tunes.

Beyond The Music will open up the floor for honest and revealing conversations about the experiences of marginalisation within the music industry.

The festival will be holding a conference at Aviva Studios – home of Factory International – including talks with the likes of the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, and The Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess.

This isn’t just a celebration of the Manc music scene: these figures are hoping to come together and discuss important matters within the industry and wider entertainment culture.

Recent tour reviews

Not only did they treat us to a fantastic trip down memory lane, the new material sounded great. It's hard to believe that the set straddles 25 years. The classic sound, still sounds distinctive. Long may they keep entertaining us. And with Saturn 5, what a way to finish!!!

Report as inappropriate

Perhaps they’re best remembered now for being the band that kind of gave Noel Gallagher his break in music - he toured the world with them as a roadie in the years leading up to the formation of Oasis - but there’s plenty else to be noted about Inspiral Carpets, even if it’s just that they’re one of the few bands to have had their keyboard player be their de facto frontman. With the band’s singer changing several times down the years, Clint Boon served as their official mouthpiece; coining the phrase ‘cool as fuck’ that appeared on their iconic t-shirts through their late-eighties, early-nineties heyday, he came to embody the swagger that was the epitome of the Inspirals sound. After reforming in 2003 with Tom Hingley on vocals, the band have since settled their differences with original singer Stephen Holt, who is now very much in the fold. They tour from time to time, retaining a cult fanbase in the UK - especially in their native Manchester - and play hit-heavy sets that include the likes of ‘This Is How It Feels’ and ‘Dragging Me Down’. Expect new dates soon, with Inspiral Carpets - their first new album in twenty years - slated for a September release.

Inspiral Carpets reunite for March and April 2023 UK tour

Their first shows in eight years

Madchester legends Inspiral Carpets have reunited for a headline UK tour in March and April 2023.

The ‘This Is How It Feels’ hitmakers have been on hiatus since 2016 following the untimely death of their drummer Craig Gill aged 44.

Confirming their first live shows in eight years, Inspiral Carpets said the concerts will be a celebration of the band's music and they will commemorate Craig’s life.

“Craig’s death had a profound effect on many people,” Inspiral Carpets said. “The outpouring of love from around the world at the time gave some comfort to his family and friends as we all tried to come to terms with what had happened.”

They added: “We know this will be an emotional journey for a lot of people, not least Craig’s family. We hope you’ll join us as we celebrate some of the music we created, and which has brought so much joy to people over the last 34 years.”

Inspiral Carpets’ UK tour opens at Northampton Roadmenders on Thursday 23rd March 2023 and visits Newcastle, Oxford, Brighton, Cambridge, Manchester, Nottingham, Leeds, Glasgow, Sheffield, London, Coventry and Frome.

Noel gallagher's life in photos, including roadying for inspiral carpets:, noel, paul, liam and peggy gallagher in 1974.

Noel Thomas David Gallagher was born in Longsight, Manchester on 29th May 1967. He was the middle child of Peggy (née Sweeney) and Thomas Gallagher and was born two years after older sibling Paul. Their younger sibling William John Paul Gallagher (Liam) was born five years after Noel in September 1972. Pictured are the three Gallagher brothers with mum Peggy in 1974.

Noel Gallagher's childhood home

Soon after Liam's birth, the Gallaghers moved to Ashby Avenue and then to Cranwell Drive in Burnage (pictured). With a violent and alcoholic father, Noel and his brothers had an unhappy childhood before mum Peggy left Thomas in 1982 with her three children. In his teenage years, Noel was expelled from school for throwing flour on a teacher and he received six months' probation for robbing a corner shop alongside a friend – something he later admitted was a "very stupid thing to do."

Noel Gallagher's hero Johnny Marr with Morrissey

Noel Gallagher found salvation from his brush with the law through music. He taught himself to play guitar and witnessing The Smiths on Top of the Pops in 1983 proved to be a pivotal moment in his life. Noel noted in 2007: "I remember seeing The Smiths on Top Of The Pops, and I don't mean this in a sycophantic way, but I wanted to be Johnny Marr. He had the Brian Jones haircut, the turtleneck, and the big red semi-acoustic guitar and he was cool as f---."

Noel Gallagher at the Hacienda

Noel Gallagher at the legendary Hacienda nightclub in Manchester in 1989. He later said that the unity and togetherness of the acid house scene "changed my life." During the late 1980s he spent many years unemployed, however for a short period he did land a job at British Gas in the company's storehouse where he spent time writing songs, including an embryonic version of Oasis' future anthem 'Live Forever.'

Noel Gallagher the Inspiral Carpets roadie

In 1988, Noel Gallagher formed a friendship with Inspiral Carpets guitarist Graham Lambert after they met at a Stone Roses show. Noel unsuccessfully applied to become their lead singer in 1989 – losing out to Tom Hingley – but became a roadie for the band over the next three years alongside van driver Mark Collins, who later joined The Charlatans. Pictured is Noel setting up for the Inspiral Carpets in Manchester in the early 90s.

Noel Gallagher becomes 'The Chief' of Oasis

With Noel on the road with Inspiral Carpets, younger brother Liam joined a band called The Rain alongside founding members Paul McGuigan (bass), Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs (guitars), Tony McCarroll (drums). Upon the suggestion of Liam, the band changed their name to Oasis after Oasis Leisure Centre in Swindon. Noel approached Oasis and asked to become their leader and songwriter – hence his nickname The Chief – and brought a cavalcade of songs and ideas with him. The rest, they say, is history.

Oasis signed to Creation Records

Oasis spent the next year finely honing their craft and in spring 1993 recorded the 8-song demo tape Live Demonstration featuring raw versions of future Oasis classics including 'Rock N' Roll Star'. Ahead of the demo's release, Oasis drove six hours to play a gig at Glasgow King Tut's in May 1993 where, unbeknownst to them, Creation Records boss Alan McGee was in attendance. He signed Oasis on the spot. Pictured is Noel Gallagher on stage at The Water Rats in London in January 1994.

Noel Gallagher writes Oasis' debut album 'Definitely Maybe'

Featuring 11 songs all penned by Noel Gallagher, including 'Supersonic', 'Shakermaker', 'Live Forever' and 'Cigarettes & Alcohol', Oasis' seminal debut album 'Definitely Maybe' was released in 1994 and it became the fastest-selling debut album in British history at the time. Not just one of the greatest albums of the Britpop era, it's also one of the finest records of all time.

Oasis in 1994

Oasis prepare to take on the world in 1994.

Noel Gallagher with Liam in 1995

Noel Gallagher and his younger brother Liam in June 1995 shortly before the release of Oasis' second album '(What's the Story) Morning Glory?'. Featuring timeless Noel-penned anthems incluing 'Wonderwall', 'Don't Look Back in Anger' and 'Champagne Supernova', the album has sold more than 22 million units globally including a phenomenal 4.7 million in the UK alone.

Noel Gallagher performs at Maine Road with Oasis

Six months after the release of their blockbuster second studio album '(What's the Story) Morning Glory?', Oasis played two colossal concerts at Maine Road stadium – home of Noel and Liam's beloved Manchester City – on 27th and 28th April 1996. Noel commented in 2019: "They were amazing gigs and it will never be repeated."

'This is history!' - Oasis rock Knebworth

Oasis arguably reached the zenith of their popularity in August 1996 when they played to 80,000 people over two nights at Loch Lomond in Scotland, and a historic 250,000 fans at their two Knebworth House mega-concerts. Noel famously said on stage at Knebworth: "This is history. This is history. Right here. Right now. This is history!" He wasn't wrong.

Noel Gallagher marries Meg Mathews

Noel Gallagher married Meg Mathews in June 1997 and they had one daughter together, Anaïs Gallagher, who was born in January 2000. The couple divorced in 2001.

Oasis release 'Be Here Now'

Oasis' third album 'Be Here Now' was a record-breaker in August 1997, selling a whopping 813,000 in its first seven days in the UK. Noel later stated that the success of predecessor '(What's The Story) Morning Glory?' had an adverse effect on the follow-up record, saying: "I started to overthink it." He also said 'Be Here Now's popularity didn't indicate it was a great album, explaining: "Just because you sell lots of records, it doesn't mean to say you're any good. Look at Phil Collins."

Noel Gallagher quits drugs

As detailed in the 2000 Oasis song 'Gas Panic!', Noel Gallagher suffered "serious panic attacks" in the late 90s brought on by his debauched party lifestyle. He quit drugs in June 1998.

Oasis announce departure of Guigsy and Bonehead

In August 1999, Noel and Liam Gallagher held a press conference (pictured) to announce that co-founding Oasis members Guigsy and Bonehead had left the band. Noel duly played all the guitar parts on Oasis' fourth studio album 'Standing on the Shoulders of Giants' in 2000 before Gem Archer was recruited to replace Bonehead. Andy Bell later joined on bass. Notably, 'Standing on the Shoulders of Giants' was the first Oasis record not to be written entirely by Noel, with Liam penning the track 'Little James'.

Oasis release 'Heathen Chemistry'

Noel Gallagher relinquished the songwriting baton yet further on July 2002's 'Heathen Chemistry' with Liam Gallagher penning three songs, and Gem Archer and Andy Bell a song apiece. Noel was responsible for two of the record's standout tunes, however – 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out' and 'Little by Little.'

Oasis' final two albums

Oasis final two studio albums – 2005's 'Don't Believe the Truth' and 2008's 'Dig Out Your Soul' – were much more warmly received than their two predecessors and heralded by some as the band's finest material in a decade.

Noel Gallagher quits Oasis

Oasis officially split up in August 2009 when Noel Gallagher quit then band following a back stage altercation with Liam at the Rock en Siene festival in Paris. Noel wrote on Oasis' website: "It is with some sadness and great relief...I quit Oasis tonight. People will write and say what they like, but I simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer."

Noel Gallagher marries Sara MacDonald

After a decade together, Noel Gallagher married Sara MacDonald in June 2011 at the Lime Wood Hotel in New Forest National Park with Russell Brand serving as best man. They have two children together - Donovan Rory MacDonald Gallagher who was born in September 2007, Sonny Patrick MacDonald Gallagher, born in October 2010.

Noel Gallagher launches Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds

Noel Gallagher formally announced his solo project Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds to the world at a press conference in London in July 2011. Lauded by critics, the band's self-titled album 'Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds' was released in October 2011 and it stormed straight in at Number 1 in the UK and went on to sell more than 800,000 copies. It spawned anthems including 'AKA... What a Life!', 'Dream On' and 'Everybody's on the Run' and it was an emphatic return to the fore for Noel.

Noel Gallagher honoured by Peter Blake

In 2012, Noel Gallagher featured on an updated version of The Beatles' famous 'Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band' album cover by pop artist Peter Blake. Titled Vintage Blake, the piece marked Blake's 80th birthday and it depicts Noel playing his Union Jack guitar alongside Amy Winehouse, Paul Weller, Mick Jagger, Ian Curtis ang many other music legends. Noel told the BBC: "I was lucky enough to go down to his studio. We were fans and all the props were still there from the 'Sgt. Pepper' photo shoot."

Noel Gallagher at Isle of Wight Festival 2012

Noel Gallagher chatting to Absolute Radio's Sarah Champion backstage at Isle of Wight Festival in 2012. Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds played the penultimate Main Stage slot on the Sunday night before headliners Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band. Seven years later, Noel would step up to headliner.

Noel Gallagher becomes friends with Damon Albarn

Two decades on from Blur and Oasis' infamous caustic rivalry, in the 2010s Noel Gallagher and Damon Albarn became close friends. Noel joined forces with Albarn, Graham Coxon, and Paul Weller to perform Blur's 'Tender' at a Teenage Cancer Trust Royal Albert Hall show in March 2013, and in 2017 Noel sang backing vocals on the Gorillaz song 'We Got The Power.'

Noel Gallagher performs intimate gig for Absolute Radio

Following the release of Noel Gallagher's High Flying Bird's second studio album 'Chasing Yesterday', Noel performed an exclusive concert for Absolute Radio at the ultra-intimate Rivoli Ballroom in London. The 12 song set was dominated by Noel's incredible solo material but culminated with a poignant rendition of Oasis' 'The Masterplan.'

Noel Gallagher joins forces with David Holmes

Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds have gone on to release two more chart-topping studio albums – 2015's 'Chasing Yesterday' and 2017's 'Who Built the Moon?'. Speaking to Absolute Radio in 2021 , Noel said that making the critically lauded 'Who Built the Moon?' with producer David Holmes is the standout moment of his solo career so far. Noel told us: "It turned everything that I've ever done, and everything that I do, and the way that I do it, upside down, and threw it all up in the air. We came up with something completely different."

Noel Gallagher headlines Isle of Wight Festival

Noel Gallagher and his High Flying Birds headlined the Friday night of Isle of Wight Festival 2019. The first half the Noel's triumphant headline performance was dominated by sublime solo tracks, but the set truly peaked when Noel launched into Oasis' 'Wonderwall', 'Stop Crying Your Heart Out', 'Half the World Away' and 'Don't Look Back In Anger' before he closed with a cover of The Beatles' 'All You Need Is Love'. Stunning.

Noel Gallagher releases best-of album

Celebrating a decade of Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds, the band's best-of album 'Back the Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011–2021)' is released on 11th June 2021.

Noel Gallagher honoured with pop-up station Absolute Radio Noel

From Friday 11th June to Friday 18th June 2021, Absolute Radio is honouring Noel Gallagher with his own pop-up radio station Absolute Radio Noel. Pictured is Noel at One Golden Square in London where he was exclusively interviewed by Bush & Richie.

New single 'Pretty Boy' featuring Johnny Marr

Noel Gallagher and his band of High Flying Birds premiered their new song 'Pretty Boy' featuring guitar from Smiths legend Johnny Marr in October 2022. Stamped with Noel Gallagher's indelible musical imprint throughout its hypnotic five minutes, 'Pretty Boy' is the first taster of NGHFB's upcoming fourth studio album, which lands in 2023.

Fourth High Flying Birds album 'Council Skies'

Released on Friday 2nd June 2023, 'Council Skies' features 10 tracks including the singles 'Pretty Boy' and 'Easy Now.' Noel Gallagher explains that 'Council Skies' harks back to the early 90s before he achieved global fame as the guitarist and songwriter with Oasis. "It's going back to the beginning," Noel says. "Daydreaming, looking up at the sky and wondering about what life could be… that's as true to me now as it was in the early '90s. When I was growing up in poverty and unemployment, music took me out of that." He added: "Top Of The Pops on TV transformed your Thursday night into this fantasy world, and that's what I think music should be. I want my music to be elevating and transforming in some way."

Abbey Road performance

Noel shared live versions of two classic Oasis B-sides from a recording session at Abbey Road Studios in December 2023. Flanked by The High Flying Birds, Noel Gallagher's takes on seminal 'Wonderwall' B-side 'The Masterplan' and 'Stand by Me' B-side 'Going Nowhere' are accompanied by professionally shot videos filmed at the world-famous London studios.

Noel scraps acoustic album for 'defiant rock record'

After discussing his planned acoustic album for rather a while, Noel announced in April 2024 that he'd "scrapped" it in favour of a "defiant rock record" . The Oasis legend revealed in January that he had already recorded six tracks for an acoustic record - but three months on, Noel confirmed that the acoustic album has been binned and he's planning to explore heavier sonic realms. "I've scrapped the acoustic album finally," he told the Matt Morgan podcast. "Yeah, it got six tunes in, and I was so bored with the arrangement of it all and the kind of slow pace of it all and, actually what made me think, right f--- it, I'm not doing it. It was too down. Acoustic tunes tend to be quite down. I need to make a defiant rock record and that's what I'm gonna do. Sorry everyone. I do apologise if anyone had their hearts set on it."
