Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds will release new single 'Dream On' on March 12th through Sour Mash Records. The B-side will be 'Shoot A Hole Into The Sun', the first track to be released from the sessions Noel has recorded with the Amorphous Androgynous.

The single will be available to buy on 7", CD and download. The digital download will also be available as a bundle including the video, which both Noel and director Mike Bruce consider the best and most fun yet they have ever worked on filming together.

'Dream On' is taken from the eponymous debut album released last Autumn which has already sold over 550,000 copies to date, earning the singer-songwriter a BRIT award nomination for Best British Male this year. Noel has also been announced as the winner of NME’s prestigious Godlike Genius Award for 2012. Also Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds are in the running for XFM's New Music Award to find the best new British Artists of 2011. For more details, head on over to XFM's website, HERE!

Noel has confirmed he will pick up the award at the ceremony which will take place at the Brixton Academy in London on 29th February.

Noel said "I would like to thank the NME for bestowing upon me such a great accolade.  I have dreamt of this moment since I was 43 years old.  I accept that I am now a genius, just like God."

NME editor Krissi Murison said "For the best part of two decades, the voice of one man has dominated the pages of NME more than any other.  His songwriting has defined a generation, and for that reason I am incredibly happy to declare Noel NME's Godlike Genius.  That he keeps pushing boundaries as a solo artist proves that there's a long way to go in the story of one of the most talented musicians Britain has ever produced."
