More names have been added to the growing list of acts coming to Halifax to play at The Piece Hall next summer.

Among them are Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds which are returning to the venue on Thursday, August 1.

Noel’s return will delight an army of fans and follows a sold-out show at The Piece Hall in 2022 when he played a set including a wide selection of Oasis classics as well as a cross section of material from the past dozen years of his highly successful career as a solo artist.

Punk band IDLES will be performing one of only four UK summer dates as part of a world tour.

The multi-award winning five-piece will be at The Piece Hall 2024 on Saturday, July 13.

Formed in Bristol in 2009, IDLES are made up of Joe Talbot (vocals), Mark Bowen (guitar), Lee Kiernan (guitar), Adam Devonshire (bass) and Jon Beavis (drums).
