As if Jay Chou, Katy Perry and Maroon 5 are not enough, organisers have now added talented singer-songwriter Noel Gallagher to the roll of A-listers who will strut their considerable star power at the SingTel Singapore Grand Prix in September.
Best known from his time with English rock band Oasis, Gallagher, who went solo in 2009, will perform songs from his latest self-titled album "Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds". The album has sold more than one million copies worldwide since it was launched last year and is widely regarded as one of his best works in the last 15 years.
Of course, Gallagher will also turn back the clock and serenade fans with some of his best-loved hits including "The Importance Of Being Idle" and "Don't Look Back In Anger".
Gallagher will perform at the Padang stage (Zone 4) on 22 September and at the Village Stage at Gate 1 (Zone 1) before the Formula One race on 23 September 2012.
Besides Chou, Perry, Maroon 5 and Gallagher, other artistes performing at the Marina Bay Street Circuit includes Bananarama, Pretenders and The Proclaimers.
Meanwhile, organisers are reporting brisk ticket sales for the fifth Singapore GP, the world's first and only night F1 race.
To date, more than half the available tickets have been snapped up, with the three-day Zone 4 walkabout tickets, turn 1 Grandstand and combination tickets sold out.
Michael Roche, executive director of race promoter Singapore GP, attributed the brisk sales to an unpredictable F1 season so far. "With six different winners from the six races to date, it is anybody's game which will surely make for an exciting spectacle on our circuit come September."

Noel Gallagher: Seoul is like the Scotland of Asia
From Noel Gallagher's 'Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere' tour diary.
Yes comrades.
Spent the last few days in Korea. In the great city of Seoul. Love this place. It’s like the Scotland of Asia. The shows (which there were 2 of) were fucking bloody awesome.
Thanks for all the birthday presents. A special thanks to the kids what made the birthday cakes that ended up in the dressing room. Works of art they were!!
Someone actually passed a birthday cake onto the stage during the last song!!
I'm feeling a bit worse for wear this morning.
I'm about to start some kind of epic journey home.

Noel Gallagher: How is your wife!!? Who is your cat!?
From Noel Gallagher's 'Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere' tour diary.
Yes comrades. So where were we? What day is it today? Sunday? It is here anyway.
So . . . back to Friday was it? Or Saturday? Fucked if I know anymore . . . I've had about 16 hours kip in a week!! So spaced out now it's getting psychedelic (I used to pay £20 to feel like this back in the 80's!!). Right well . . . I remember waking up in Tokyo whenever it was. Beautiful day. Caught the bullet train to Osaka was it? Got man handled at the station by an increasingly hysterical crowd of well wishers. They don't half like to scream questions at you over here. It can be quite an experience. Like a medium level bad trip. I mean what are you supposed to say when crazy birds are SCREAMING into your face . . .
"I LIKE YOUR SHOES . . . WHERE DID YOU GET YOUR SHOES!?!?!?!?!?"
Eventually got prized into the train, shades all wonky . . . dying for a piss.
Lovely journey though. Through what looks like beautifully manicured countryside. None of your unkempt foliage here mate! It looks like that kids toy gear, that Playmobil stuff? Like little Lego toy towns! I'm not even joking, it was like being on a giant train set in fact. I'm sure the Mighty I has got half the towns we passed through!!! A couple of hours staring out the window is my idea of a top day out. Arrived in Osaka. Chaos ensued. Running, shouting. More fucking screaming questions . . .
"WHY DID YOU NOT ANSWER MY LETTER!?”
“HOW IS YOUR WIFE!!? WHO IS YOUR CAT!?"
Or was it the other way round (who is your wife and how is your cat??).
All very strange. A good laugh all the same though. The gig was great. The best one of the tour I reckon. Now, you know the girl what made the sign that says "NOEL OR DIE!!"? Well, she must have read the last post and bless her she'd only gone and sewn on two White arrows on the sign pointing to the "OR"!! She also had made for me a couple of t-shirts to celebrate Man City winning the league. She'd substituted the eagle on the City badge for a Simpsons caricature of my face . . . thanks very much etc . . . but on closer inspection in big bold championship style lettering it said . . . (and this is so fucking true it hurts):
“MANCHESTER CITY PREMIER REAGUE CHAMPIONS 2012"!!!!!!!
From Noel Gallagher's 'Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere' tour diary.
Well that tv show was - as predicted - fucking insane. It’s quite difficult to know what these Japanese shows are actually supposed to be about, but I'm guessing it was like some kind of version of our very own Top Of The Pops (R.I.P.).
It was all executed with military precision. For example they give you instructions like:
You will exit the dressing room at 8:34
You will enter corridor A at 8:37
You will shake this persons hand at 8:39
You will perform said song at 8:41 etc . . .
And the most amazing thing is it all runs like clockwork!
I was on with a load of Japanese acts one of which was a manufactured girl group called AKB48. I kid you not. There was maybe 30 of them all between the ages of 13-15!!! I suddenly started to feel very old.
The presenter was some old dude who looked at best like a James Bond villain.
It was loud fast and chaotic. Lord only knows why I was on there.
A good laugh all the same though.
Off to Osaka today.
That's all I've got for you I'm afraid. Jet-lagged out of my mind.
From Noel Gallagher's 'Tales from the Middle of Nowhere' tour diary:
Yes comrades. It's been a couple of days. This jet-lag is a fucker. Hardly slept a wink. So . . .
Did a show a couple of days ago at the Budokan. Quite a prestigious gig. Bob Dylan played here back in the day as did a little known band from Liverpool called The Beatles. It's quite a big deal. Up there with Madison Square Gardens, Wembley Stadium, the Hollywood Bowl and erm... the Boardwalk!!
Did it in the round and all, which I have to say I really like. That's the second time we've done that kind of thing on this tour and I love it. Not sure if the people behind the stage would agree but... y'know... fuck 'em!!!
The gig was great. Very hot. My old mate Alan McGee turned up to see us which was nice as I haven't seen him in a long time. Great crowd. The heat didn't help the jet-lag though. I felt rooted to the spot. It really is a killer that gear.
So, yesterday after being chased through the train station we jumped on the bullet train to Nagoya. Had a gig in a mega little theatre. Stunning. Reminded me of one of my living rooms!!
Remember that girl what coined the phrase "Noel or die"? Well, anyway she was there with what seemed like a brand new posh as piss sign. Thing is the "Noel" and "die" bits were in bright luminous yellow and the "or" bit was in fucking navy blue all sewn (by hand one would imagine) onto a black background so all I could see was a sign that said "NOEL DIE!!" It was only when the lights went up at the end of the show that I realised what the fuck was going on!!
Great gig though.
Back in Tokyo now. Got some TV show to do today. No doubt it'll be utterly bizarre. They usually are. Singing live vocal to a backing track. I fucking HATE that gear. Mustn't grumble though.
Oasis Songs to feature in new Top Of The Pops Musical
Music from the likes of Oasis, David Bowie and Blur are set to feature in a new theatre production of the iconic BBC music show Top Of The Pops.
Plans have been announced for the musical to begin a tour of the UK from October this year – premiering at the Congress Theatre in Eastbourne between October 18th-20th – with a cast of singers and dancers backed by a live band and material from the TOTP archive.
Tracks by T. Rex, Madonna and Blondie are also reported to be included in the show, which has been produced by the team behind the Michael Jackson musical Thriller Live.
The musical will also have an interactive element to it, as audience members are invited to pick a song from a list of five to feature in the show’s finale. The songs will screen during the performance using classic footage of previous Top Of The Pops charts.
From Noel Gallagher's 'Tales From The Middle Of Nowhere' tour diary.
You might have guessed we've had a few days off. Back in London. Very nice it was too.
So . . . where were we? Santiago? Don't remember much about the gig. I'm sure it was stunning.
To be honest I was on cloud 9 after the football. I don't remember much at all. You'll know by now that we (Manchester City) pulled it off. In the most dramatic scenes ever witnessed. What a rollercoaster. We had it, we lost it, we got it back, we lost it again and right at the death we won it.
I went fucking mental and I don't mind telling you I might have lost it for a little bit.
I must have watched it a hundred times since and it's still blowing me away every time.
Anyway . . . oh yeah!! When we got to the gig that night just before we was about to go onstage my tour manager stuck her head round the door and says "the British ambassador is outside and wants to see you!!"
"What for?"
"He wants to congratulate you on Man City winning the league!!"
Fuck me eh?? Manchester City . . . the pride of Great Britain? Who'd have thought . . . .
You find me back in Japan. Got a little tour and a couple of tv things to do. Then a little jib over to Korea (the south . . . obviously . . . as much as I've tried that northern mob have remained immune to my charms . . . cloth eared communist fuckers!) where for the first time ever I will spend my birthday onstage!!!!!! Mad that innit?
