PICTURE EXCLUSIVE: Noel Gallagher has rocked out of his hotel and is rollin' his way to Croke Park.
Rock n' Roll has officially started in Dublin as Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher has just left his hotel and has made his way to Croke Park ahead of tonight's first of back-to-back Irish gigs, can exclusively reveal.
Manchester musician Noel, was flying solo as he departed five star Carton House Country Manor Hotel in Maynooth this afternoon.
Dressed in his trademark casual garb, Noel was wearing a bright blue windbreaker, over a plain white teeshirt, dark grey skinny jeans, white trainers and a pair of blue shell sunnies.

And despite being a globally feted superstar Noel was decidedly down-to-earth as he hopped into a waiting blacked out Range Rover with just one driver as the pair zoomed out of the grounds of Carton House to make their way to Dublin City Centre:
Over on the very far side of the capital, Noel's singer brother Liam, is still kicking back at the swanky Powerscourt Hotel and has not, as yet, departed the hotel for Croke Park.
So with Noel on route and Liam not far behind him, Oasis mania has reached boiling point around Croke park and in Dublin City Centre, with fans of the band breaking out into impromptu renditions of the groups greatest hits, in beer gardens and boozers around town.
Oasis are set to take to the stage in Croke Park tonight at 8.15 with the concert coming to an end at 10.45.
As Oasis famously sang,'So Sally Can Wait' – Noel, in particular, is ensuring that fans won't be waiting much longer.
