Since its debut in 1989, MTV Unplugged has featured stand out performances from artists like Lauryn Hill, Jay-Z, Nirvana, Alicia Keys, Pearl Jam and, more recently, Shawn Mendes and Miley Cyrus.

Speaking of his own forthcoming turn, the 46-year-old said: “I’m honoured to be performing at the legendary showcase that is MTV Unplugged.

"I’ll be playing songs from my number-one debut solo album, I’ll be playing some stone cold classics from the mighty Oasis and I’ll be showcasing some of my new songs from my upcoming second solo album Why Me? Why Not. I’d love it if you could join us as it’s sure to be a biblical evening. P.S. I Love Hull!”

Bruce Gillmer, Global Head of Music and Talent, MTV International added: “MTV Unplugged lets music fans experience their favourite artists’ songs in a completely new way.

“We’re thrilled to be bringing the franchise back to the UK, and to markets around the world, for a whole new generation of music fans. As always with Liam Gallagher, we can guarantee it’s going to be an incredible night full of surprises.”

Gallagher’s one-hour set will be filmed on August 3 and will air on MTV UK at 9 pm on September 27.
