Liam Gallagher and John Squire announce new album and UK tour - how to get tickets, pre-sale information

Two huge Mancunian music legends are teaming up for a new album and UK tour.

Liam Gallagher and The Stone Roses guitarist John Squire have announced a new joint album, giving 90s music fans a treat. Alongside the new album, the pair will tour the UK with special gust Jake Bugg, visiting cities such as Glasgow, Manchester, Newcastle and London.

The self-titled album is due to be released on March 1, featuring ten new songs. Songs on the album include 'Mars to Liverpool' and 'Just Another Rainbow'.

Speaking about the new collaboration, Gallagher said: “I can’t wait for people to hear the album. I think the people that are into the Stone Roses and Oasis and that kinda thing, I think they’ll f*****g love it. It’s spiritual, it’s crucial. LG x”

Squire added: “It was really inspiring to have those Knebworth gigs fresh in my mind as I started writing. Then it was a case of trying to steer it away from all being too rocky, and trying to mix up the sentiments as well.

“I like the way that in some parts, it’s quite melancholic and it can make you well up, but there are other parts that are kind of irreverent, rude or crude. There’s a little bit of everything in there, I think it’s a really good mix. I had a hunch that we’d sound good together, but I wasn’t prepared for it to be such a good fit.”
