Headlined at Calling Festival

On 4 July 2015 they headlined at Calling Festival in Clapham Common . After performing their first song, “Everybody’s on the Run”, Noel spoke to the crowd saying; “Hello Clapham… Now there’s something I never thought I’d say.” The Chasing Yesterday Tour continued into 2016, though on 7 March – a day before the tour resumed in Guadalajara, Mexico – it was announced that drummer Jeremy Stacey would be departed from touring band and joining King Crimson . After this leg of the tour took the band to South America, Australia and Europe, Stacey’s final show was on 30 April in his hometown of Bournemouth. For the remainder of the tour, Gallagher reunited with former Oasis touring drummer Chris Sharrock , whose first show was in Atlanta on 1 July. Sharrock was actually one of only two drummers in England, along with Stacey, that Gallagher originally considered during High Flying Birds’ inception. However, since Sharrock had already joined Beady Eye , Liam Gallagher’s new band with the other former members of Oasis, that left Stacey as the only choice by default. Though Stacey had left the touring band, he would still be the primary drummer for the recording sessions of High Flying Birds’ third album, Who Built the Moon? The tour concluded that September with a one-off show at the Brixton Academy (the first time Noel had ever headlined the venue with either his High Flying Birds or Oasis ). During this show, Noel was joined on stage by special guests Johnny Marr and Paul Weller .
