Liam Gallagher demands to swap headline dates with Killers at Isle of Wight festival – so he can watch the football

OHMYGOSSIP — Liam Gallagher refused to close the Isle of Wight festival because he wanted to watch football. Originally festival bosses tried to book the star to close the weekend with a Sunday night performance slot – but Liam had the World Cup on his mind. The ‘Wall of Glass’ hitmaker will jointly top the bill with Depeche Mode at Seaclose Park on Saturday (22.06.18) evening, Mirror.co.uk mediates.

However, after it was pointed out England play Panama in the World Cup at 1pm tomorrow, it was agreed the days would be switched and The Killers would take the closing slot instead.
A source told the Daily Mirror newspaper: “Liam is a massive football fan so it was only right for him to be able to let his hair down and enjoy some booze during the match.

“Upon realising the potential clash, bosses scheduled Las Vegas rockers The Killers, who were set to headline another night, to play Sunday instead, and Liam is on Saturday.”
The 45-year-old rocker will be taking to the stage feeling suitably refreshed as bosses have reportedly supplied him with 50 bottles of Dom Perignon champagne to “get the party started”.

The source added: “It’s not a World Cup if you are not suitably refreshed.”
