Liam Gallagher Will Headline Radio 2's 'Biggest Weekend Festival' In Coventry


Liam Gallagher will headline Radio 2's BBC's Biggest Weekend Festival in May in Coventry.

Speaking to Chris Evans' Radio 2 Breakfast Show, Liam acknowledged the oddity of him and Noel headlining the same event.

Chris Evans: So have you ever played a gig in one place, whilst your brother is playing for the same cause on a stage in the nation next door?

Liam Gallagher: No, no, no, but we're getting closer and closer to each other, aren't we?

Chris Evans: This is what's so intriguing about this, you see. You're like two sperm whales eyeing each other up from miles apart.

Liam Gallagher: Yeah that is it, mate. We're getting closer and closer, we're gonna collide, mate, one day and who knows what will happen?

The gigs are part of the Biggest Weekend - the largest music event ever attempted by the BBC.

The venues in Scotland and England will feature music from Radios 2 and 3, while Radio 1 will take over Swansea's Singleton Park with a bill including Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, Craig David and Wolf Alice.
