Noel Gallagher has said that 'middle-class bands' wriggled out of appearing at Teenage Cancer Trust, while the 'working-class bands' all said yes.
Gallagher has taken over the event from Roger Daltrey, and is curating seven nights at London's Royal Albert Hall.
Speaking to Shortlist, Gallagher extolled the virtues of working class bands, saying, "I'd talk to Ed Sheeran and Mumford And Sons thinking, 'I'll just do the fucking seven nights myself, what the fuck am I asking these people for?' and I got turned down a lot. Everybody says yes to your face. Everybody.
"And then the agent will call, and their management will call and then their PR will call and say, 'Ah, they're going to be in Australia at the time.' Really? Well they never said that to me. What's interesting is all the working class bands said yes straight off the bat, no fucking inkling of when it was.
"The middle class bands said yes and wriggled out of it. I dunno what that means, but it must mean something. It was an interesting summer. But I will say, if the people that blew me off but said they'll do it next year actually do it, it might be the greatest event since Woodstock."

Noel also spoke recently about how unimpressed he was with Bieber's two hour concert delay.
According to The Sun, Noel said, "Is it rock ‘n’ roll to be two hours late? It depends on what he was doing in those two hours. Was he snorting coke off prostitutes? Or was he playing bridge?"
When he was told that Justin had been reportedly playing videogames, he responded, "That’s not very rock ’n’ roll, is it? My cat sounds more rock ’n’ roll that that."
Noel finished his rant against the star by saying, "I just know his name - Justin. Whatever. I don’t know anything about him. I know people really f**king hate him, don’t they."
