Noel Gallagher has quashed rumours the band are planning a residency this year at East London's cavernous O2 Arena, stating he'll 'never play there' with Oasis.
The band were tipped to be playing a money-spinning week-long stint at the new arena, but the outspoken singer rubbished the ongoing reports as nonsense - stating the band would rather play the equally huge Earls Court.
"We'll never play the O2. We went there to see Led Zeppelin and to be honest the gig was fantastic, but it was the most soul destroying venue I've ever been to," he said.
"And much to our manager and agent's disappointment we came back and said we would never play there. So it means we are going to have to do 640 nights at Earl's Court, I would have thought. It's too Americanised for me, and it's too far away. Any gig you can get to by boat that hasn't got a beach is wrong."
This year's Glastonbury festival, and in particular the Saturday night headline act, also caught the Oasis' star's vitriol during a new interview over the weekend.
"If it ain't broke don't fix it," he added. "If you start to break it then people aren't going to go. I'm sorry, but Jay-Z? No chance.
"Glastonbury has a tradition of guitar music and even when they throw the odd curve ball in on a Sunday night you go 'Kylie Minogue?' I don't know about it. But I'm not having hip hop at Glastonbury. It's wrong."
However, Gallagher did have some positives, confirming that the new Oasis album was complete
"That's finished. All done. We're just kind of waiting to get a record deal and get it out. We've not managed to get a title yet. We're in the middle of doing the art work. Down to a shortlist of about three. The first single? That will be four-and-half minutes long."
