This will be Noel’s second appearance at Eden, following a landmark show with British band Oasis in 2009.
Rita Broe, Managing Director of Eden Sessions Ltd, said today: “Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds are a fantastic rock ‘n’ roll band. We’re thrilled to be announcing them for what we’re sure will be an unforgettable show and delighted to be welcoming Noel back to Eden.”
Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds first emerged in 2011 with their eponymous album released in October that year. The album went double platinum in the UK and has sold more than 2.5 million copies worldwide.
In the two decades prior to this release, Noel Gallagher was main songwriter, lead guitarist and occasional lead vocalist of Oasis, one of the biggest bands ever to emerge from the UK. His band played a tremendous role in shaping and inspiring British guitar music from the 1990s onwards.
By the time a second album was due for release, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds had already played 150 live shows in 32 different countries. The second album ‘Chasing Yesterday’ was released in March 2015 - the first album to be produced as well as written by Noel. There followed another 122 shows in 28 countries.
A third album ‘Who Built The Moon?’ was recorded in sessions spanning two years with renowned producer and composer David Holmes in Belfast and London. It was released in November 2017 and debuted in the UK at number one, marking a record-breaking 10th consecutive chart-topping studio album in the UK for Noel – no other artist has achieved such a feat.
The live appearances continued throughout 2019 with a host of headline festival dates and Tours of the USA and Australia with Smashing Pumpkins and U2 respectively. Release-wise, Noel once again challenged industry norms, releasing a series of multi-genre EPs over the course of 2019 and 2020, all receiving high critical acclaim.
June 2021 saw the release of ‘Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011-21)’ - a Best Of celebrating a decade of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds. The tracklisting was curated by Noel comprising a diverse body of work including tracks from the three studio albums, three EPs plus two new brand new singles – ‘We’re On Our Way Now’ and ‘Flying On The Ground’.
This was the band’s fourth consecutive number one album and the 12th number one album across Noel’s career.
