Up-and-coming Mullingar band The Academic have been announced as the support for Noel Gallagher's Live at the Marquee gig in Cork next month.

The former Oasis man plays the Marquee on July 14th with his High Flying Birds, and the young midlands foursome - who supported the Pixies at the same venue last year - will warm the crowd up for him.

The Academic's fanbase has been steadily growing since the release of their debut single 'Different' earlier this year, which you can hear below.
