FUSE TV - Predictably Awesome: 10 Highlights from Noel Gallagher’s Coachella Set

Ice cream, chocolate, pay raises, days off, kittens, puppies: They will all make you happy, all of the time. Just like Noel Gallagher. He's so predictable, but there's nothing wrong with familiarity, right? His Coachella set on Saturday was just that. Here are the 10 predictable highlights, in a predictable chronological order.

1. “Fools Gold” by the Stone Roses introduced his set. Gallagher has long said the Manchester band are one of his all-time favorites, and he’s heavily influenced by their frontman Ian Brown, too. Predictable.

 2. Gallagher strutted onstage in his usual Britpop duds—a buttoned up oxford (predictable) with gold-framed, sleeker-than-normal Ray-Ban Caravan shades (also predictable).

 3.  On “(It’s Good) To Be Free,” "Everybody's On the Run” and "Dream On,” Gallagher exercised a typical Britpop sound—all crisp guitars and tight melodies and big-chorus songwriting. Predictable. 

 4. Gallagher provided perhaps the sweetest yet driest (and most predictable) dedication: “I want to dedicate this to my beautiful wife," he said before “If I Had a Gun,” one of the best songs from his new album, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds. When the reaction was peppered with boos, he flashed his signature stink eye. So Noel.
