“Liam’s got a bit of time on his hands since Beady Eye called it a day last year, so he fancied trying his hand at something new,”. “He’s told his mates he’s pretty bored. Other than Noel, you would be hard pushed to find a better set of bandmates than Roger, Ian and Zak. It’s a proper supergroup and the performance will be something to remember.”
The group, who are as yet unnamed, will celebrate the TV show’s return alongside Blur, Stone Roses, Rudimental and Years & Years.
