Malahide Castle show for Noel Gallagher

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds release a brand new single – ‘Black Star Dancing’, available digitally now.  The single, which is produced by Noel, is taken from the EP of the same name, released on 14th June, the same date that Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds headline Isle of Wight Festival.

NGHFB will also play Malahide Castle, Dublin on 16th of next month.

Noel says of the single: “It manages to combine the influences of David Bowie, INXS, U2, Queen, Indeep AND ZZ Top FFS! … I might have been watching too much Top Of The Pops recently … anyway, it’s ‘dope’ … not my words, but the words of Nile Rodgers who literally danced in the studio when he heard it!”

Featuring new kaleidoscopic artwork by Gareth Halliday, the EP includes 2 new tracks ‘Rattling Rose’ and ‘Sail On’, a 12” mix of ‘Black Star Dancing’ plus a remix by London-based French DJ/producer Nicolas Laugier, aka The Reflex.

The full EP track-listing is:

1. Black Star Dancing

2. Rattling Rose

3. Sail On
4. Black Star Dancing (12” Mix)

5. Black Star Dancing (The Reflex Revision)

The release of the new single and EP announcement comes as Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds prepare to embark on a short run of intimate live shows across the UK.
