Currently, Gallagher’s yuletide track has claimed the #2 slot on the Official UK Charts, ensuring the Rock N Roll Star a strong spot in the running for the coveted top spot. The winner of the tight chart race will be announced next week. All You’re Dreaming Of has also done incredibly well in terms of physical copies, and is already the best selling vinyl single of 2020. 

Ever modest, Gallagher was quick to announce the success of All You’re Dreaming Of. Taking to his favourite social media platform, Gallagher tweeted earlier today (December 19th): “All You’re Dreaming Of is number 2 midweek UK charts c’mon you know, LG x.” Fans were certainly in agreement with Gallagher’s celebratory tweet, as the post received over 600 likes and 5000 retweets!

All You’re Dreaming Of was released on November 27th, kicking off the Christmas season with a strong, moving festive single. Since then, Gallagher performed the new track live on the Jonathan Ross show. Additionally, Gallagher included All You’re Dreaming Of as part of his Down By The River live stream, which saw Gallagher and his band sing some of the star’s biggest and best hits whilst floating down the River Thames on a giant barrage. 

In accordance with his new release, Gallagher also put out a Christmassy music video, which was directed by Anthony Byrne. The monochromatic video opens with a flurry of snow blowing across a cold, dark night. Before long, we see a trio of brass instrumentalists, and a piano playing itself.

The camera then pans to Gallagher, who stands alone in a large, empty home. Gallagher launches into the track’s opening verse in his signature Mancunian croon.  Gallagher sings: “Paint the night sky/While the morning waits/With a field of stars/To keep the dark at bay”

As the instruments swell, the memento builds, and the song reaches its Christmassy climax. Gallagher sings the chorus: “Oh what are you dreamin’ of?/Is it the kind of love/That’ll be there when the world is at its worst?/That’ll cover you in kisses unrehearsed?”

All proceeds from the release, vinyl or otherwise, will go directly to Action for Children UK. Established in 1869, Action for Children UK is a charity that focuses on the financial and emotional wellbeing of vulnerable children and their families.

All You’re Dreaming Of is out now.

Fallon previewed the All You’re Dreaming Of performance via his official YouTube channel. The performance, which has already gathered over 64,000 views, can be watched in full here.

The All You’re Dreaming Of is the first taster from Gallagher’s Livestream special, ‘Down By The River Thames’, which is set to premiere later tonight. The ‘Down By The River’ stream will be available via MelodyVR. A socially distanced gig, of course, the special stream will be a crowd-less, outdoor event. ‘Down By The River’ will see Gallagher and his band singing a varied repertoire of some of his greatest hits whilst floating along the River Thames on a huge barge.

In an official statement, Gallagher gave some details surrounding his upcoming performance. The Rock ‘n’ Roll Star said he will sing “tracks from my two number 1 solo albums as well as some stone-cold Oasis classics, some of which you haven’t heard me sing for a long, long time.” 

Gallagher shared the ‘Down By The River’ setlist to his favourite social media platform, Twitter. From Morning Glory to Wall of Glass, ‘Down By The River’ will retell the pivotal moments of the British icon’s still-thriving career. The setlist reveal garnered over 18,000 likes and was received excitedly by avid fans. 

Not long after, Gallagher took to Instagram to share a clip of his memorising All You’re Dreaming Of performance. Within the post, Gallagher wrote the playful caption: “Yes brothers and sisters not long to go remember your watching from your homes so no throwing pints of p*** about c’mon you know LG x”

The post was met with joy from fans, receiving over 50,000 likes. One particularly impressed fan wrote: “You should release this gig as a live album!” 

Unfortunately, this once in a lifetime performance will be a standalone gig for the Britpop legend. Despite the subsequent changes to the music industry following the Covid-19 pandemic, Gallagher revealed recently that he has no interest in following the new artist trend of Zoom performances.

In a recent interview, Gallagher conveyed his sustain towards performing via Zoom. The Wall of Glass hitmaker believes Zoom gigs could never compare to the rush of performing live: “You have got to go big all the time, I’m not into doing gigs on Zoom. It’s not for me, it’s ridiculous.”

All You’re Dreaming Of is the latest release from Liam Gallagher. NME said of the Christmas track: “It’ll be a crime if he’s not rolled out on ‘Jools Hollands’ Hootenanny’ for an 11pm tearjerker after a few eggnogs, beckoning us out of 2020 with a song of love and hope for the future. Yes, this is Liam Gallagher we’re still talking about. It seems 2020 has made even him get a little sentimental.”

All You’re Dreaming Of is out now.

The auction agendas are to curate funds for music industry workers financially struggling from the Covid-19 pandemic. The fate of much of the music industry is undecided at the moment, thus the public support by the likes Twigs and Gallagher is vital.

The first auction is a one-off event for The Music Venue Trust (MVT), a charitable organisation focused on preserving and maintaining music industry artists, particularly independent venues. The MVT was behind the huge #SaveOurVenues movement, a national campaign that has since generated over £1m.

The second auction is entitled #ILoveLive. The proceeds of the #ILoveLive auction will go entirely to the Stagehand charity. Stagehand is a hardship fund for workers of live industry events.

After hearing of “a former stage manager who woke up in tears after realising she had £10 in her bank account”, Stagehand selected the worker for a series of £500 payments. Stagehand said: “It wasn’t much but it showed that someone cared.” Both FKA Twigs and Gallagher gave signed guitars to the #ILoveLive auction. Tahliah Debrett Barnett, aka FKA Twigs, bequeathed some of her famous stage masks too. 

Eric Clapton, Elbow and Nile Rogers also partook in the #ILoveLive, each gifting a signed guitar. Other artists that got involved were Florence Welch, Ellie Goulding and Robbie Williams, who gave the personal gift of handwritten lyrics. Meanwhile, The Chemical Brothers donated a signed synth, and Craig David gave away a signed mixing desk.  

Steven Wilson, singer, songwriter and founder of progressive rock band Porcupine, donated personal memorabilia for the MVT auction. Wilson donated a box set containing a Grammy nomination certificate, an unreleased song, and other surprises, all worth over £10,000.

David Stopps, music manager and founder of the Stagehand draw, spoke on the Covid-19 pandemic, and how the mental health of many industry workers have been negatively affected. Stopps said sadly: “When I heard about the 10th suicide attempt among road crew I thought, I’ve got to do something.”

Tom Bailey, a client of Stopps and a former member of the Thompson Twins, donated the guitar that he played at Live Aid back in 1985. Meanwhile, Nile Rogers, originally from Chic, gifted a special replica of his iconic Stratocaster guitar. The “hitmaker” replica was the driving force behind several Chic tracks, and more recently serving on Daft Punks’ Get Lucky.

Rogers showed his gratitude for music tour workers amid the donation. Rogers meditated that “A Chic show would not be possible without our incredible crew who have been deeply affected by the pandemic, as have all the crews. They’ve had such a tough time this year with no work at all.”

The need for financial action towards the music industry at these present times is immediate and pressing. Although the UK government has given furlough schemes and grants for industry workers, but it is not enough. Freelance workes such as sound and lighting engineers and tour managers have been left by the wayside during the Covid pandemic. Hopefully, the auctions are a step in the right direction for saving the music industry as we know it.

All You’re Dreaming Of is certainly divergent from Gallagher’s usual stylings. The Rock N Roll star has ventured from his typical, guitar-heavy tracks to create an atmospheric, festive ballad, ballad highlighting his musical range. 

Gallagher, ever the humble artist, said of the new track: “All You’re Dreaming Of’ is an instant classic that is perfect for this time of year.” Which is not strictly untrue.

A swelling of strings and horns open the track, alluding to an old hymn. Then, a Beatles-like succession of piano chords play, until Gallagher serenades the backing track with his world-famous croon. Gallagher sings poetic lyrics that sound like that were taken from an old Christmas tale. Gallagher croons: “Paint the night sky/While the morning waits/With a field of stars/To keep the dark at bay.”

All You’re Dreaming Of is an unexpected offering from Gallagher, the track truly demonstrates a completely new side to the Britpop rocker. During the chorus, Gallagher asks rhetorical questions: “Oh what, are you dreaming of?/Is it the kind of love/That’ll be there when the world is at its worst?”

All You’re Dreaming Of co-writer Simon Aldred spoke out on the record and the inspiration behind it. Aldred explained that the pair agreed between them: “there weren’t enough songs of hope.”

Believe it or not, Gallagher’s Christmas themed release was not originally a festive song. Rather, it eventually turned out as one, as upon hearing it Gallagher could “see New York shop windows and snow outside.”According to Aldred, All You’re Dreaming Of “reminded Gallagher of being a kid at Christmas when life was normal.” As it turns out, All You’re Dreaming Of is a charitable single as well as a festive one. The entirety of the proceeds from downloads and streams will go to Action For Children.

Taking to Instagram, the star shared a short snippet of the song along with the cover art. In the post, Gallagher took the time to spread some positivity amongst his fandom. Gallagher said: “Considering the year we’ve all had, I hope this brings back some much-needed love and hope.”

Gallagher did not miss an opportunity to joke, however, as the singer wrote playfully: “Bing Cosby would have been proud.” Fans reacted ecstatically at the post, which has garnered a whopping 92,000 likes.

The release of All You’re Dreaming Of is paired with its respective lyric video, which Gallagher premiered on his official YouTube channel. The sweet lyric video features a series of sketched animations, featuring Gallagher’s sincere lyrics against a cartoon night sky. 

Gallagher shared the All You’re Dreaming Of video with his 323,000 YouTube subscribers. The lyric video was met excitedly by fans, receiving over 56,000 views. It can be watched in full here.

All You’re Dreaming Of is out everywhere now.

Gallagher announced the exciting news yesterday (1st September 2020) on social media. When an avid fan asked Gallagher on Twitter: “Is the album coming out this year or next year LG?” Gallagher responded with “Next year.”

However, fans will not have to wait until 2021 to get their first taste of the record, as Gallagher confirmed that “I’ll give you a little tune this year to cheer you up.”  The full Twitter exchange can be found here.

Unsurprisingly, Gallagher already has some enormous plans for 2021. As well as a new solo album, it was announced on the 1st of September that the former Oasis frontman will headline the 2021 instalment of Reading & Leeds Festival. Gallagher was set to headline R&L 2020, which was solemnly but necessarily cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Gallagher is amongst 5 other mighty headline acts, some of which are the biggest names in British music. Rapper Stormzy, indie rock band Catfish And The Bottlemen, and electronic duo Disclosure will all join Gallagher for R&L 2021.

Singer-songwriter Gallagher has always taken enjoyment in interacting with his fans, so when another fan asked Gallagher “what are u more excited for? Playing in Leeds or realising your third album?” the Mancunian singer playfully replied “both!”

The Wall of Glass hitmaker also took to Instagram to confirm his place at top of the bill at R&L 2021. Gallagher playfully captioned the post with “Yours truly is headlining Reading and Leeds 2021. C’MON YOU KNOW. LG X”. The superstar’s global fanbase were ecstatic at this news, as the post has already received over 70,000 likes. 

In other news, Liam Gallagher has recently confirmed that his free gig for NHS workers has been rescheduled. Originally set to take place in October of this year, the show has been moved to May 2021. Featuring the iconic Primal Scream as a supporting acts, Gallagher organised the free gig as a thank you to all medical workers for their ongoing and unmatched work and care during the coronavirus pandemic.

Liam Gallagher is a living Britpop legend. Born in 1972, Gallagher took the world by storm when he formed one of the best bands in modern music, Oasis, with his brother Noel. Oasis charged onto the scene with Definitely Maybe in 1994, and had the world by its bootstraps for over 15 years, before ultimately splitting up in 2009. 

Since then, the Rock ‘n’ Roll Star has come into his own as a thriving solo artist. With the releases of  As You Were and Why Me?Why Not a gigantic success amongst fans, artists and critics alike, Gallagher has more than proven that he is here to stay. 

Hannah Summers and Jon Beck, the brains behind the project, debuted the first Oasis night in March, playing back-to-back Oasis songs at London’s Dingwalls. Due to the COVID-19 lockdown, further dates initially set were postponed, but now an April follow-up has been confirmed.

So, for ninety minutes this Friday evening at 7.55 pm, a selection of their best work will be played. The organizers took to Instagram, and said: “After the absolute INSANITY that was the first ever Mad Fer It House Party at the start of this month and with the hangover just about cleared, we’ve decided it’s time to bring you another Oasis ONLY House Party this Friday at 8pm (UK time).”

During the last broadcast, they reached nearly 6,000 listeners. This time, they want to break 10,000. They encouraged to “click “Going” on the event page and like, comment and share with all your Oasis-loving mates.”

If this sounds right up your street, then head on over to this link to log in on the night. Jon explained what listeners could expect from the original gig in March.

“You’ll go to an indie night and hear an Oasis song or two, but it’s always going to be the same songs. ‘Cigarettes & Alcohol’, ‘Rock n Roll Star’ and maybe even ‘Supersonic’.” he said, describing the night as “an exciting opportunity to play those tracks you don’t hear so much.”

So, to Oasis fanatics out there, if you’re bored Friday night, you know what to do.

Liam Gallagher has announced a supporting act for his NHS show, Primal Scream. More acts are expected to be announced soon. The special event at London’s 02 Arena serves as a thank you to NHS staff during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Liam tweeted about the event: “It’s an honour to announce that I will be doing a gig for the NHS and careworkers at London’s TheO2 on October 29th.” Liam said on Twitter. He further praised them: “They do an incredible job, we are very lucky to have them. LG x”

Gallagher will be performing alongside Primal Scream on October 29. Tickets for the show have quickly sold out, despite the fact they’d only gone on sale at 9 am this morning, (April 15).

Gallagher revealed a poster for the gig through Instagram shortly after. He said: “Proud to be part of this concert for our heroic NHS workers organised by our friend Liam Gallagher,”

He added: “I want to thank everyone who applied for tickets. Due to high demand the event is now sold out. Congratulations to the people who got their hands on some, it’s going to be an amazing night of Rock n Roll for the NHS!”

Manic Street Preachers similarly announced two special gigs in December for NHS workers. Frontman James Dean Bradfield said: “In a universal way, we’ve all got a stake in the NHS and we’ve all got a connection to the NHS.”

The band added that they “wanted to do something to show our appreciation, love and respect for the NHS”. The 02 Arena is set to serve as a training facility for NHS workers treating COVID-19 at the NHS Nightingale Hospital.

In response to the lockdown restrictions imposed on the UK, Liam recently quipped that he and his brother Noel have been “self-isolating for 10 years.”

Me n Rkid have been self isolating for 10 years c’mon a couple of months ain’t fucking hurt LG x

More still, on April 9, it was announced that the 02 Arena would serve as a training facility for NHS workers treating Coronavirus at the NHS Nightingale Hospital.

Recently, Liam Gallagher announced that his upcoming live album on vinyl had been delayed due to COVID-19. Last year, he performed in Hull for his 2019 MTV Unplugged show. As a result, the vinyl will now arrive at a later date.

Gallagher tweeted: “Listen up Brothers and Sisters, due to lockdown my MTV unplugged vinyl wont be ready for 24th April. As soon as the manufacturer is back in action we’ll schedule a new date. I’ll keep you posted. Wash yer hands, scrub yer toes, scratch yer bum and pick yer nose. Stay safe LG x.”

Shortly before Liam made the announcement of the album’s delay, the ‘Shockwave’ vocalist quipped on Twitter that he and his brother Noel had “been self isolating for 10 years”. 

It comes after last week, Arthurs and Burgess hosted a party for Oasis’ debut album, the acclaimed ‘Definitely Maybe’. Brian Cannon joined them, the man behind the artwork of the album. Kevin Cummins, NME’s chief photographer throughout the 1980s and ’90s attended too.

In a tweet, Arthurs announced the decision to host their sophomore album next. He said: “For Saturday’s #TimsListeningParty ‘What’s the Story’ at 10.05pm,” he tweeted. “I’m going to give a minute for those listening on the vinyl to change the disc over so watch my tweets.”

He also mentioned that ‘Bonehead’s Bank Holiday’, a song exclusive to the vinyl edition of ‘(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?’ would be played during the session. Liam Gallagher didn’t participate in last week’s party but has not ruled out his involvement. It is unknown if he’ll attend this forthcoming session.

The listening party is due to start at 10:05pm on Saturday (April 4). To get involved, fans are instructed to head over to the Twitter accounts of Bonehead and Tim Burgess.

Recently, Liam produced claims that brother Noel is “greedy”. The vocalist cited this as a reason why an Oasis reunion would be inevitable.

As a result, Noel wouldn’t be able to turn down the chance at a comeback. It comes after Noel turned down claims from Liam that he rejected an offer of £100 million to bring the band back together.

Liam tweeted: “We’ve been offered 100 million pounds for a tour still not enough for the greedy soul oh well stay young LG.”

We’ve been offered 100 million pounds for a tour still not enough for the greedy soul oh well stay young LG

— Liam Gallagher (@liamgallagher) February 3, 2020

Noel responded: “To whoever might be arsed: I am not aware of any offer from anybody for any amount of money to reform the legendary Mancunian Rock’n’Roll group Oasis,”

Gallagher took to Twitter and said: “Listen up Brothers and Sisters, due to lockdown my MTV unplugged vinyl wont be ready for 24th April. As soon as the manufacturer is back in action we’ll schedule a new date. I’ll keep you posted. Wash yer hands, scrub yer toes, scratch yer bum and pick yer nose. Stay safe LG x.”

Quaintly put from the former Oasis frontman. Of the performance in Hull, last year on April 24, Liam said: “I was honoured to perform at the legendary showcase that is MTV Unplugged. It was a lovely experience and the people of Hull were biblical and sounded fantastic. I hope you enjoy the record. LG x”

Recently, Liam Gallagher says an Oasis reunion will happen, “very soon”. Following their split in 2009, rumors of an Oasis reformation have been as regular as clockwork.

Liam claims Noel is “greedy”, citing it as a reason why an Oasis reunion is set to happen. It comes after Noel turned down claims from Liam that he rejected an offer of £100 million to bring the band back together. Liam tweeted: “We’ve been offered 100 million pounds for a tour still not enough for the greedy soul oh well stay young LG.”

Noel responded: “To whoever might be arsed: I am not aware of any offer from anybody for any amount of money to reform the legendary Mancunian Rock’n’Roll group Oasis,”

“I am fully aware though that someone has a single to promote so that’s maybe where the confusion lies”

The coronavirus outbreak remains unrelenting, affecting all areas of the music industry. Canceled events include Snowbombing, (to which Liam was due to perform), Coachella, Glastonbury, Eurovision and Radio 1’s Big Weekend. Artists including Stormzy, Greg Dulli, Circa Waves, and Avril Lavigne have all postponed tours and events due to the virus.
