Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds concert chronology

Background

On 13 October 2014 Noel Gallagher took to Facebook to announce details of his second album with the High Flying Birds, dates and venues and of a supporting tour and to take part in a Question and Answer session.^[2] Originally only European concert dates were announced.^[3] Several concerts in the UK sold out very quickly, leaving many fans frustrated.^[4]

On 27 October 2014 five concerts were announced for Japan in April 2015. There were also concerts to be announced in North America to also take place in 2015.^[5]

For the 2016 North America and Europe dates, the band was joined by former Oasis tour drummer Chris Sharrock, replacing Jeremy Stacey who had left after the previous tour legs to join King Crimson.^[6]
