Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds @ Alexandra Palace Park

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds first emerged in 2011, releasing their eponymous debut album in October of that year. The album went double platinum in the UK and has since sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide.

In the two decades prior to this release, Gallagher was omnipresent at the forefront of Britpop as the main songwriter, lead guitarist and occasional lead vocalist of Oasis, one of the biggest and most influential bands ever to emerge from the UK. In the wake of that band's demise, Gallagher's continued success with the High Flying Birds cemented his position as a principle player in the long-standing tradition of British rock music.
