Noel Gallagher spotted socialising in Maynooth pub ahead of Oasis Croke Park gigs
He was spotted socialising this evening in Brady's Clockhouse pub in Maynooth, Co Kildare. Dressed in black and sporting shades, the 58-year-old was swamped by well-wishers as he was escorted into the bar by bodyguards. He later sat at a table with a number of associates, but it's unclear if he had any pints or just stuck to water or soft drinks in the lead up to the band's two gigs this weekend. Noel is staying at the five star Carton House hotel, which is located on the outskirts of Maynooth. Notable guests down through the years at that luxury hotel have included Queen Victoria, Princess Grace and Prince Rainier of Monaco, Julie Andrews, Mick Jagger, Lana Del Rey, Peter Sellers and Marianne Faithfull. Noel flew into Dublin this afternoon, while Liam is expected in the capital tomorrow morning. The Oasis singer is tipped to be staying at the five star Powerscourt Hotel (formerly the Ritz Carlton) in Co Wicklow. Other members of the band flew into Ireland on Wednesday. Rhythm guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs and drummer Joey Waronker went for a swim at Killiney beach yesterday. The guitarist has re-joined Oasis alongside the Gallagher brothers and members Gem Archer, Andy Bell and Joey Waronker for their reunion tour, which continues in Dublin this weekend. It comes as the first images of the stage set-up in Croke Park emerged yesterday. Learn more The group have so far performed 15 nights around England, Wales and Scotland and are currently in Ireland enjoying a four-day gap between their last show of a three-night stopover in Edinburgh and Saturday's Croke Park gig. After their Dublin shows, the band is setting off to Canada, US, and Mexico, before playing at Wembley Stadium in London again on September 27 and 28. They will later head off to Asia, Australia and South America, with the last stop of their Oasis Live '25 tour in Sao Paulo in Brazil on November 22 and 23. After a 16-year hiatus, the Gallagher brothers announced last August they would perform together for the first time since the band's split in 2009. After almost a year-long wait for Irish fans, Oasis will bring their highly anticipated Live 25 tour to Croke Park for two sold-out nights on Saturday and Sunday, August 16 and 17, in front of 160,000 fans. This will be their first gig in Ireland since 2009, when the rock band performed in Slane Castle.
