Oasis air their new numbers

British rockers Oasis gave fans a taste of their upcoming album at a warm-up gig ahead of their appearance at the Glastonbury Festival tonight.

The band - Noel Gallagher, Liam Gallagher, Gem Archer, Andy Bell and drummer Zak Starkey - took to the stage at Poole Lighthouse in England on Wednesday night.

And although, as predicted, their set included mostly classic hits - new tunes A Bell Will Ring, written by Noel, and The Meaning of Soul, written by Liam, were given their first public airing.

NME described Noel's track as similar to slow number Songbird, while The Meaning of Soul reminded the reviewer of their classic big rock numbers.
