AFTER playing sets full of emerging classics and old favourites at the Reading and Leeds Festivals, Liam Gallagher can now announce the first arena tour of his solo career.

Representing his first tour following the October 6 release of his debut solo album As You Were, the announcement comes as Liam is back at the height of his powers.

His return has been nothing short of spectacular, from emotive scenes in Manchester to huge sing-a-longs at Glastonbury, while three new tracks – Wall of Glass, Chinatown and For What It’s Worth – are already establishing themselves as towering anthems, delivered with Liam’s once-in-a-lifetime vocal.

Fans who pre-order any format of Liam’s debut album from his official site wbr.ec/liam-store will receive instant downloads of Wall of Glass, Chinatown and For What It’s Worth.

The album will be released on digital (standard and deluxe), CD (standard and deluxe) and vinyl (standard 12” and limited edition coloured 12” formats) formats.

A special boxset is also available which compiles a coloured 12” vinyl of the album, an exclusive 7” format of For What It’s Worth, a print designed by Klaus Voorman (the artist behind The Beatles’ ‘Revolver’ album cover) and additional collectors’ items.

As part of the tour Liam will be at Arena Birmingham on December 12.

Tickets for the date are on general sale (from September 8) via theticketfactory.com or by calling 0844 33 88 222 (calls cost 7p per minute plus your phone company's access charge).

Tickets priced at £42.15 (price include admin fees and 90p facility fee) plus £2.55 fulfilment fee per order.
