Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher has ruled out rumors linking his band with a headline performance at next year’s Glastonbury festival.
The Manchester group have just announced a massive British tour for next year, and had been linked with a slot at next summer’s Glastonbury event. However, Noel Gallagher has said the band’s priority for next summer will be their tour.
Gallagher told reporters that “I wouldn’t go back to Glastonbury. Why is R Kelly playing there or something?”
“No seriously, this (Oasis’ UK tour) is where it’s going to be at next summer but we said the last time we did Glastonbury that we’ve never really pulled it off.”
The guitarist added that “Glastonbury is great to be at but it’s not really good for people like me to play at because you don’t go on until 11 at night and all the people you’re with by that time are absolutely battered.”
“By the time you get off you’re just playing catch up all night and trying to make sense of what your girlfriend is saying.”
Tickets for the new Oasis tour go on sale next Friday.
