LIAM Gallagher is to perform on stage at next year's Belfast Vital.

The former Oasis frontman is the first act to be announced for the festival line-up next August.

Gallagher (47) will take to the stage at Boucher Road Playing Fields on August 19, with special guests yet to be announced.

It will be his biggest Belfast gig yet, following sell out gigs at the SSE Arena and Belsonic at Ormeau Park.

The 47-year-old rocker launched his latest album, 'Why Me? Why Not, in October, which went straight to number one in the UK and Ireland.

The album was one of the biggest albums of the year in the UK, having exceeded 100,000 first week sales and out-selling the rest of the Top 20 combined.

It is also the UK’s biggest selling vinyl of the past 20 years.
