Liam Gallagher has become one of the first performers to be confirmed for the upcoming, one-off ‘TFI Friday’ special.
The show is set to air on Friday, 12 June, and it’s now been confirmed that Liam will perform as part of a supergroup, that will also include The Who’s Roger Daltrey.
Hopefully Liam can stay awake for this one...
A spokesperson for the show has told NME that Liam and Roger will treat viewers to a rendition of ‘My Generation’, with Ian Broudie, of The Lightning Seeds, and Oasis’ former drummer Zak Starkey.
The confirmation comes following a report in The Sun, which stated that Liam had made the plans, after becoming “pretty bored” since the split of his group Beady Eye.
“Other than Noel, you would be hard pushed to find a better set of bandmates than Roger, Ian and Zak. It's a proper supergroup and the performance will be something to remember,” a source told the paper.
Chris will present the reboot
At present, Friday’s show will be a one-off, however presenter Chris Evans has hinted that a new series could follow.
Explaining the ‘TFI Friday’ return to the Guardian, he said: “Channel 4 have asked us to do a ‘TFI Friday’ 20th anniversary show and/or run next year. I was completely bang up for it until I did the maths last week and had to phone them and say it’s only 19 years next year, it’s actually 20 years the year after. I think they still want to go for it and just hope no one notices.”
Back in February, Chris stripped off to promote the show, starring in an ad while wearing nothing but a sock.
Cannot. Unsee.

'90s Alt-Rocker: Then and Now
Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder (Then)(01 of49)
Pearl Jam released their best work in the '90s. Based on "Ten," "Vs." and "Vitology," Pearl Jam became one of the biggest bands in the world, if not quite as respected as fellow Seattle stalwarts Nirvana. (credit:Barry King via Getty Images)
Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder (Now)(02 of49)
Although Pearl Jam has released five albums since the '90s, it’s still their work from that decade that built a legacy for them. However, they've unexpectedly become the new Grateful Dead, touring all the time, changing set-lists every show and being followed around by hardcore fans. (credit:Steve Jennings via Getty Images)
Smashing Pumpkins (THEN)(03 of49)
The Smashing Pumpkins in their original, '90s form were so good. Between "Siamese Dream," "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness" and "Adore," the Smashing Pumpkins proved to be dynamic, cutting edge and one of the greatest bands of that decade. But then drugs in the band and Billy Corgan's ego clashed and he fired all the original members. (credit:ASSOCIATED PRESS)
Smashing Pumpkins (NOW)(04 of49)
These days Billy Corgan treats the Smashing Pumpkins just like Axl Rose treats Guns ‘'N Roses. It's Corgan touring alone with hired musicians. He still releases albums. They’re not great and nobody seems to want them. But they keep coming. He also seems to like to only play the new stuff live, which is frustrating to many a longtime Pumpkins fan. (credit:Chelsea Lauren via Getty Images)
Hole (THEN)(05 of49)
No matter what your feelings are about Courtney Love and her public behaviour, you have to admire the success and strides that she made with her band Hole in the '90s. With the three albums they released in that decade, Hole became one of the biggest female fronted bands of all time. Hole's heavy songs dealing with feminist issues and a female perspective, they sold over 3 million albums in the US alone in the '90s and received several Grammy nominations. Thanks to Courtney Love's erratic behaviour and a constantly rotating band line-up, Hole broke up in 2002. Love tried to reform the band in 2009 without founding member Eric Erlandson and a completely new line up. They released one album then broke up again. (credit:Mick Hutson via Getty Images)
Hole (NOW)(06 of49)
Courtney Love has openly said she is working on new material for Hole and that a reunion with her original line-up from the '90s is a strong possibility. Courtney Love says lots of things, so only time will tell. (credit:ASSOCIATED PRESS)
Silverchair (THEN)(07 of49)
Back in the mid-'90s, teen Aussie alt rockers Silverchair were getting praised as "the next Nirvana." The three albums they released in the '90s, "Frog Stomp," "Freak Show," and "Neon Ballroom" were all relatively popular. (credit:SNAPPER SNAPPER MEDIA/JOHN STANTON/SNAPPER)
Silverchair (NOW)(08 of49)
But as the band got older, they lost popularity. Silverchair broke up after the band admitted in 2011 there was no spark of creativity left among the three members. (credit:David Cooper via Getty Images)
Tool (NOW)(09 of49)
Tool have only released two albums in the 2000s. The band is still beloved by many but Tool fans never seem to get what they want. A new album has apparently been in the works for a long time, but who knows when we will see it. (credit:ASSOCIATED PRESS)
The Presidents Of The United States Of America (NOW)(10 of49)
But the band got back together in 2004 and are still playing today for a cult following. They released their last album ‘Kudos To You!’ last year. (credit:YouTube)
Radiohead (THEN)(11 of49)
The '90s alt rock scene was where Radiohead developed into a world class rock and roll band with two of their most popular albums "The Bends" and "OK Computer." They created material that would be copied by bands like Coldplay and Travis into the new millennium, which ultimately led them to change their sound into something more experimental in the 2000s. (credit:Photoshot via Getty Images)
Radiohead (NOW)(12 of49)
Although they don't tour and release music as frequently anymore, Radiohead remains one of the most popular and respected rock bands in the world. They began working on a new album this past fall and it should be released sometime next year. (credit:ASSOCIATED PRESS)
Collective Soul (THEN)(13 of49)
If you had to pick a '90s band that belonged strictly in the '90s, it would be Collective Soul. Their brand of poppy alt-rock was pretty damn cheesy, but it worked for them for a short while.
Collective Soul (NOW)(14 of49)
Collective Soul is still a band today. They still tour and have a new album planned for 2015 called "See What You Started By Continuing." You can make your own joke for that. (credit:Steven Bergman/AFF)
Blur (NOW)(15 of49)
Blur reunited in 2008 and has played big shows and festivals from time to time. There are constant rumours about the band working on a new album that just never seem to pan out. (credit:ASSOCIATED PRESS)
Stone Temple Pilots (THEN)(16 of49)
Between their first three albums "Core," "Purple" and "Tiny Music," STP sold millions of albums and had a ton of big tunes on the charts. But now-former singer Scott Weiland's drug issues and infighting plagued the band, and they ended up breaking up in 2002. They got back together in 2008, recorded a self-titled album in 2010, but then kicked Weiland out of the band in 2013 for his reoccurring demons. (credit:NBC via Getty Images)
Stone Temple Pilots (NOW)(17 of49)
STP is still a band without Weiland. The remaining members recruited Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington as their new lead singer. They released an EP together last fall. (credit:ASSOCIATED PRESS)
Bjork (THEN)(18 of49)
The '90s was the decade when Bjork solidified her career for the long term, helped bring electronica into the mainstream and recorded the all-time classic 1997 album "Homogenic." (credit:Dave Tonge via Getty Images)
Bjork (NOW)(19 of49)
Bjork is still an active artist and performer today with a large international following. She last released an album in 2011 with "Biophilia," which she toured in 2013, and is gearing up to release a new full-length album in 2015. (credit:ASSOCIATED PRESS)
Green Day (THEN)(20 of49)
In the mid-'90s, Green Day went from an underground punk band from San Francisco to mainstream alt-rock superstars with the release of their album "Dookie." Songs like "Basket Case" and "When I Come Around" made Green Day a household name. Their popularity sunk in the late-90s but the band returned to superstardom in the mid-2000s with "American Idiot." (credit:NBC via Getty Images)
Green Day (NOW)(21 of49)
Despite a very public meltdown and rehab stint for singer Billie Joe Armstrong as well as a sub-par trio of albums released in 2013, Green Day is still an internationally huge band today thanks to a few big releases over the past decade that re-launched the band for a new generation. (credit:Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP)
Nine Inch Nails (THEN)(22 of49)
Trent Reznor’s recording project Nine Inch Nails reached its biggest peak in the '90s when he released his most popular album "The Downward Spiral." The album was an industrial, alt-rock masterpiece and made Nine Inch Nails a massive cult band. (credit:Scott Harrison via Getty Images)
Nine Inch Nails (NOW)(23 of49)
Trent Reznor has now been sober for years and is better than ever. Nine Inch Nails is still releasing acclaimed albums and touring arenas and sheds and headlining major festivals. Reznor released the latest NIN album "Hesitation Marks" last year. (credit:Andrew Chin via Getty Images)
The Prodigy (THEN)(24 of49)
In the late '90s, Brit "electronica" act The Prodigy became a big mainstream alt act. The band's "The Fat Of The Land" album featured popular singles like "Firestarter" and the ever-classy "Smack My Bitch Up." (credit:Mick Hutson via Getty Images)
The Prodigy (NOW)(25 of49)
Although they've fallen out of the mainstream since their late '90s glory days, The Prodigy are still together. They last released an album in 2009 and are planning a first quarter studio album release in 2015. (credit:ASSOCIATED PRESS)
Red Hot Chili Peppers (THEN)(26 of49)
At both the beginning and the end of the '90s, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were one of the biggest alt rock bands in the world. Their 1991 album "Blood Sugar Sex Magik," with the power of songs like "Under The Bridge" and "Give It Away," was epic. Their 1999 album "Californication" was even bigger. (credit:Steve Eichner via Getty Images)
Red Hot Chilli Peppers (NOW)(27 of49)
Despite losing guitarist and creative force John Frusciante again a few years back, the Chili Peppers are still a giant touring act and festival headliner. Also, still shirtless but at least Flea found some pants. (credit:Tony Dejak/AP)
No Doubt (THEN)(28 of49)
No Doubt became a popular alt-rock band in the mid-'90s when they released their "Tragic Kingdom" album. With songs like "Don’t Speak," "Spiderwebs," "Just A Girl" and “Sunday Morning,” they were one of the coolest and most popular bands around that time. The band lost popularity in the late '90s before mounting a major comeback with their dub-rock album "Rock Steady" in 2001. They went on hiatus in 2004 after their most successful run as a band. (credit:Vinnie Zuffante via Getty Images)
No Doubt (NOW)(29 of49)
After a reunion tour in 2009, No Doubt released their comeback album "Push And Shove" in 2012. It was a giant flop. The band took another hiatus, but is currently working on a new album. Singer Gwen Stefani, currently a judge on "The Voice," is also working on a new solo album with fellow judge Pharrell. (credit:Jordan Strauss/AP)
Flatboy Slim (THEN)(30 of49)
Norman Cook aka Fatboy Slim was one of the only DJs in the '90s to become a mainstream star on alt rock radio. His album "You’ve Come A Long Way, Baby" from 1998 was a huge smash with singles like "The Rockafeller Skank" and "Praise You." (credit:Mick Hutson via Getty Images)
Fatboy Slim (NOW)(31 of49)
Now 51 years old, he's still an active DJ, although Cook hasn't released any new music as Fatboy Slim since 2010. But he has spent time in rehab in recent years for alcohol addiction. (credit:Jon Furniss/Invision/AP)
Chemical Brothers (THEN)(32 of49)
Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons, better known as the Chemical Brothers, were one of the most non-traditional alt stars of the '90s, riding the rave wave to stardom with crossover songs like "Block Rockin' Beats" and "Hey Boy Hey Girl." (credit:Mick Hutson via Getty Images)
Chemical Brothers (NOW)(33 of49)
Although they haven't released a new album since making the soundtrack to the film "Hanna" in 2011, The Chemical Brothers are still seen as a legendar electronic duo today. (credit:Mark Allan/Invision/AP)
Rage Against The Machine (THEN) (34 of49)
Rage Against the Machine was a one-of-a-kind band in the '90s and was never duplicated. They created rap metal, their own brand of alt rock and cranked out three solid albums in that decade. They also wrote the greatest modern protest song of all time, "Killing in the Name." They broke up in 2000 due to creative differences in the band. Singer Zach de la Rocha left to work on his own music (which has never come out) and the rest of the band formed Audioslave with Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell. (credit:Ebet Roberts via Getty Images)
Rage Against The Machine (NOW)(35 of49)
Rage reunited from 2007 to 2011 to play sporadic festival shows and one-of gigs. They are listed as being on hiatus, although drummer Brad Wilk has said the band will most likely never play again. But Tom Morello keeps busy with political activism and his folk-rock act The Nightwatchman. (credit:ASSOCIATED PRESS)
Beck (NOW)(36 of49)
Despite being knocked by many for his beliefs in Scientology, Beck is still a big artist today. He's a giant touring act, a festival draw and released his most recent album "Morning Phase" this past February. It was good, too. (credit:ASSOCIATED PRESS)
GARBAGE (THEN)(37 of49)
Garbage started as an alt rock super group with producers Butch Vig, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker and singer Shirley Manson in the mid-2000s. Their first two albums of dark, catchy, slick alt-rock helped the band sell several million copies internationally with big songs like "I'm Only Happy When It Rains." (credit:Mick Hutson via Getty Images)
Garbage (NOW)(38 of49)
Garbage is still a band today, however their popularity was left in the '90s for the most part. Because of the band members’ production work, Garbage rarely releases albums. Their last LP "Not Your Kind Of People" was released in 2012 and they toured last year. (credit:Robb Cohen/Invision/AP)
Soundgarden (THEN)(39 of49)
Soundgarden was one of the biggest bands to ever come out of Seattle in the '90s, as well as a corner stone for grunge and alt-rock. They helped shape the genre in the early part of the decade and found mainstream success from their album "Superunknown" thanks to giant singles like "Spoonman" and "Black Hole Sun." The band broke up in 1997 due to creative differences. It led to an embarrassing solo album by singer Chris Cornell in the first decade of the 2000s. (credit:Jeff Kravitz via Getty Images)
Soundgarden (NOW)(40 of49)
Soundgarden got back together in 2010. They released a new album called "King Animal" in 2012 and opened for Nine Inch Nails this past summer, exactly 20 years after their last joint-tour when NIN was the opening act. (credit:Jack Plunkett/Invision/AP)
The Breeders (THEN)(41 of49)
The Breeders began as Kim Deal's side project from the Pixies that she started with Tanya Donelly from Throwing Muses. The Breeders released two albums and two EPs in the '90s, their most popular being 1993's 'The Last Splash' which featured the fuzzy, garage rock butt-kicker "Cannonball." Although the Breeders were never a mainstream commercial band, they were critically acclaimed and earned a pretty decent cult following. (credit:Steve Eichner via Getty Images)
The Breeders (NOW)(42 of49)
Despite hiatuses and time off here and there, The Breeders are still a band. They reunited to their 'The Last Splash' line-up a few years back to tour behind the 20th anniversary re-release of the classic '90s alt-rock album. The line-up is still currently locked in, although there is no word on new materiel being released in the near future. (credit:John Davisson/Invision/AP)
Jane's Addiction (NOW)(43 of49)
Jane's Addiction is technically still a band, but Farrell says they are currently on hiatus. They got back together in 2008 and released "The Great Escape Artist" in 2011. They did play a few shows together this year in Las Vegas and the UK. (credit:Michael Tullberg via Getty Images)
Bush (THEN)(44 of49)
England's Bush (or Bush X as us older alt-rock fans might remember them) was huge for a few years in the '90s. The Gavin Rossdale-led alt-rockers had two big albums in the middle of the decade in "Sixteen Stone" and "Razorblade Suitcase." After falling out of popularity in the late '90s, they broke up in 2002. (credit:Catherine McGann via Getty Images)
Bush (NOW)(45 of49)
Bush is actually a band again. Rossdale and drummer Robin Goodridge reunited with a few new players back in 2010 and have actually released two albums since. Their latest, "Man On The Run" came out this month. (credit:Barry Brecheisen/Invision/AP)
Foo Fighters (NOW)(46 of49)
The Foo Fighters are one of the biggest bands in the world today. They’ve released 7 popular albums since 1995, with their 8th LP ‘Sonic Highways’ set for release this month. (credit:Barry Brecheisen/Invision/AP)
Foo Fighters (THEN)(47 of49)
When Kurt Cobain died, so did Nirvana. Drummer Dave Grohl decided to start the Foo Fighters all by himself and released the Foo's self-titled album in 1995. The album was a hit with songs like "This is a Call," so Grohl recruited a band that included Nate Mendel and Pat Smear, and the rest is history. (credit:ASSOCIATED PRESS)

Oh, and we included these two photos because we found them while researching and, well, the more things change... (credit:Jeff Kravitz via Getty Images)
