Former Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher has announced a Scottish date as part of an intimate High Flying Birds tour of the UK.

The 51-year-old will open his tour at the Edinburgh Playhouse on May 7, before heading to Llandudno, London and Hull.

He teased that new material is being recorded at the moment, and could get an airing at the shows.

The series of UK gigs comes before the band is set to take flight to Tokyo.

Tickets for the seated shows go on sale on Monday February 18 at 10am, and are limited to four per person, with guests unable to enter the premises unless accompained by the lead booker.

The Wonderwall singer is currently working on his fourth album since Oasis split up in 2009.
