Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds have released new versions of the classic Oasis songs Going Nowhere and The Masterplan recorded at London’s prestigious Abbey Road Studios. Watch below.
The Masterplan and Going Nowhere have become mainstays in Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ recent live sets to a rapturous response. The original recorded versions of both tracks appeared on the Oasis singles Wonderwall (The Masterplan) and Stand By Me (Going Nowhere). They were then compiled on Oasis’ B-sides album The Masterplan, which recently celebrated its 25th anniversary, re-entering the UK Official Albums Chart at No 2 in November.
Today’s news comes just days ahead of Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ much anticipated run of British arena shows this month, beginning at London’s Wembley Arena on Thursday (14 December). These shows follow a busy November that has taken in touring across three continents, and cap off a huge 2023 for Noel, which has seen the release of his fourth studio solo album Council Skies, a mammoth 26-date US tour, and epic headline outdoor shows including Crystal Palace Bowl and Brighton Beach.
