“We finished this song and there were 5,000 angry geezers standing there just… dead silence”: Noel Gallagher liked Confidence Man so much he asked them to support him on his tour, but his fans weren’t so keen

Confidence Man.

With their exuberant take on ‘90s dance music, Confidence Man are invariably the hottest live act in town. They’re not for everyone, though, as the band discovered when they took up Noel Gallagher’s invitation to support him on his 2022 High Flying Birds tour.

Speaking to The Standard, Confidence Man frontwoman Janet Planet says that their friendship with Gallagher goes back to 2019, when the band enjoyed a night out in Melbourne with the Oasis guitarist, Bono and The Edge. “Bono’s actually a naughtier boy than you would expect,” says Planet. “I was very impressed. He drank twice as much as I did.”
