Noel Gallagher Loves Glastonbury Festival, But Hates That ‘It’s Getting a Bit Woke Now’
Noel Gallagher blasted the Glastonbury Festival for what he said was going 'a bit woke now,' following a weekend of political comments from the stage.
For instance, the famously irascible former Oasis co-founder and High Flying Birds solo star made the scene at the Glastonbury Festival last weekend and while he reportedly said the annual mud-caked music gathering is the second most important thing in the nation — aside from his beloved Premier League soccer — he also lamented that the fest has taken a turn he doesn’t like. In addition, during a surprise pop-in during Bombay Bicycle Club’s set Gallagher’s former music rival, Blur’s Damon Albarn, asked the 200,000-plus fans to cheer if they were “pro-Palestine” and suggested President Biden, and Donald Trump, are too old to run for office again at the event where dozens of Palestinian flags could be seen flying over the crowd. Gallagher, 57, reportedly suggested the music equivalent of “shut up and dribble” in response to all the commentary from artists, adding, “it’s like, look, play your f–king tunes and get off… It’s too much, Donate all your money to the cause — that’s it, stop yapping about it.
