New documentary about Liam Gallagher at Rockfield shows singer enjoying Welsh pub life and studio time with sons

A brand new documentary will follow Liam Gallagher and his sons, Lennon and Gene, as they spend 48 hours in the Welsh countryside. Liam Gallagher 48 Hours at Rockfield, which will air on Sky at the end of May, will give viewers unparalleled access to the world renowned rockstar, as he heads to the famous Rockfield Studios in Monmouthshire with Lennon and Gene.

Liam and his kids will spend some time relaxing in Wales ahead of the release of his new album C’Mon You Know and a jam-packed summer of gigs, including a return to Knebworth, with the former Oasis frontman kicking back in two of his favourite places - the studio and the pub. The hour-long doc will feature intimate session performances cut with candid conversations and family banter, the show provides a unique insight into Liam’s life, past and present.

At the famous Rockfield Studios – the first residential recording studio and host to the likes of Iggy Pop, Black Sabbath, Queen and a once little-known band called Oasis – viewers will see Liam perform exclusive tracks from the upcoming album, plus two Oasis classics.

In between these studio sessions, Liam is captured at his most content, chatting candidly about music, song writing and his upcoming tour. "It was great to go back to Rockfield after all these years and see the old firm looking so well. It brought back many memories, of which I can't remember," said the singer who recently recorded a duet with The Verve's Richard Ashcroft, C'mon People.

As he later relaxes at a Welsh country pub over a pint and a game of pool with sons Lennon and Gene, Liam opens up about all the important stuff: approaching 50, fatherhood, family, his biggest regrets, greatest achievements, loves and hates, one-liners, his rock n roll career, performing at Knebworth Park, big nights out, lockdown and the Queen.

Viewers will see Liam with his guard down, playing some tunes and hanging out with his sons and his band. In the words of the man himself: “it's gonna be biblical”.

The show will be simulcast on Sky Max, Sky Arts (Freeview Channel 11) and NOW at 9pm on Tuesday, May 24.
