Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher has ruled out chances of the band performing at next year's Glastonbury festival.
The Manchester group are one of a number of acts who have been linked to the festival's three coveted headline slots over recent months.
But Gallagher said their priority next summer will be their stadium tour, which was announced yesterday.
Speaking to reporters at the tour announcement, the guitarist said: “I wouldn't go back to Glastonbury. Why is R Kelly playing there or something?
“No seriously, this (Oasis' UK tour) is where it's going to be at next summer but we said the last time we did Glastonbury that we've never really pulled it off.”
He added: “Glastonbury is great to be at but it's not really good for people like me to play at because you don't go on until 11 at night and all the people you're with by that time are absolutely battered.
“By the time you get off you're just playing catch up all night and trying to make sense of what your girlfriend is saying.”
Oasis's stadium tour includes two nights at London's Wembley stadium. Tickets for the tour, in support of the band's new album 'Dig Out Your Soul', go on sale next Friday (October 24th) at 10am.
You will be able to purchase tickets through Gigwise, here, or by calling out ticket hotline on 0871 230 1098.

- He's blatantly just bitter about Jay Z taking the piss at the last one. He is Noel 'gotta-have-the-last-word' Gallagher after all.
