I want to play Glasto solo, says Noel Gallagher

Oasis rocker Noel Gallagher desperately wants a solo slot at this year's iconic Glastonbury Festival in Somerset, England.

The Live Forever star has made a direct appeal to Glastonbury organiser Michael Eavis.

The 39-year-old said: "Glastonbury Acoustic Tent sounds nice! That would be good."

But Gallagher fears that, if his request is successful, he might find himself playing at the same time as a band he wants to see.

"He'd probably put me on at the same time as the Arctic Monkeys," joked Gallagher.
