Noel Gallagher has said he doesn't expect Oasis will ever play the Glastonbury Festival again. Gallagher's band have played Glasto on three occasions of course. Their first appearance in 1994 is often regarded as one of the most legendary sets in the whole history of the festival, but their 1995 headline set was less of a stand out, while their headline performance at last year's Glastonbury was considered by many to be the most disappointing set at the three day event.
Speaking to the BBC after the band's performance at the London Astoria this week, Gallagher said: "Glastonbury is probably better to be at than to play at. I've played there three times now and I've not enjoyed it. You go on at about eleven o'clock and by that time everyone around you is absolutely fucked. By the time you get off, everyone's crashed out vomiting on the floor or asleep. I don't know if it's the weight of expectation or what, but we've come to the conclusion that we probably won't do it again." Because, of course, Oasis' rubbish performance was all the audience's fault.
Ah well, I guess Oasis don't need to play Glastonbury given the demand for their own forthcoming arena dates. Talking of which, organisers of those concerts have said that a limited number of extra tickets for each show will go on sale today. But they went on sale at 9am this morning, so they're probably all gone by now.
