Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds (also known as High Flying Birds) is the upcoming debut solo studio album by English rock musician Noel Gallagher. The album is due to be released on 17 October 2011, and will be the first new studio material released by Gallagher since he left the band Oasis in August 2009.

Background

High Flying Birds was recorded between 2010 and 2011 in London, England and Los Angeles, California, produced by Gallagher and former Oasis producer Dave Sardy. Musicians to be featured on the record include former Oasis keyboardist Mike Rowe, The Lemon Trees drummer Jeremy Stacey and percussionist Lenny Castro, in addition to guest appearances from the Crouch End Festival Chorus and The Wired Strings. It is rumoured that the song "The Death of You and Me" will be the lead single from the album. Also included are unreleased Oasis songs "(I Wanna Live in a Dream in My) Record Machine", "Stop the Clocks", "Everybody's on the Run" and "If I Had a Gun" (with the last two being from Dig Out Your Soul Tour soundchecks). The album is 46 minutes and 12 seconds in length.

On 20 July 2011, 'The Death of You and Me' was confirmed as the lead single, scheduled for release on 21 August 2011, with 'The Good Rebel' appearing as a b-side.

Tour

Gallagher has said that he will begin touring a week after the release of the album. The first show will be in Dublin on 23 October and will also visit Manchester, London and Glasgow. He said, "We're going to go out on tour a week after the album is out. We're going to start off slow in small theatres. If it's good enough to get bigger than that then it'll get bigger than that. I don't think there'll be a huge great big tour this year. I think this year it'll be a quick whizz around the world and try and do the major cities and then it will probably be a bigger tour next year."
