Oasis have been confirmed as the headliners of the final night of the BBC Electric Proms.

The band will perform with the Crouch End Festival Chorus at the Camden Roundhouse on October 26, with support from Glasvegas.

Speaking about the gig, Noel Gallagher said: "We are doing the Electric Proms, and we're doing it with the Crouch End Choir as well - there's 50 odd of them - because some of the songs on the album have got a 50-piece choir on them.

"It should be good actually. Ennio Morricone uses them for his spaghetti western stuff in England, so I'm already looking forward to that because I've never played the Roundhouse and I've never done the Proms."

Tickets for the concert, which will also air on Radio 1 and BBC Two, go on sale at 8.15am tomorrow.

The Electric Proms take place in Liverpool and London between October 22 and 26. Other acts playing include Razorlight, Chaka Khan and The Streets.
