We can exclusively reveal the guitarist and songwriter has been socialising this evening in Brady’s Clockhouse pub in Maynooth, Co Kildare.
Dressed in black and sporting shades, the 58-year-old was swamped by well-wishers as he was escorted into the bar by bodyguards.
He later sat at a table with a number of associates, but it’s unclear if he had any pints or just stuck to water or soft drinks in the lead up to the band’s two gigs this weekend.
Noel relaxes before a hectic weekend
Noel is staying at the five star Carton House hotel, which is located on the outskirts of Maynooth.
Notable guests down through the years at that luxury hotel have included Queen Victoria, Princess Grace and Prince Rainier of Monaco, Julie Andrews, Mick Jagger, Lana Del Ray, Peter Sellers and Marianne Faithful.
Noel flew into Dublin this afternoon, while Liam is expected in the capital tomorrow morning.
The Oasis singer is tipped to be staying at the upmarket Powerscourt hotel (formerly the Ritz Carlton) in Co Wicklow.

Other members of the band flew into Ireland on Wednesday.
Bass guitarist Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs and drummer Joey Waronker went for a swim at Killiney beach yesterday, which is located just a few hundreds metres from Bono’s mansion.
A pop-up store has opened on St Stephen’s Green, with fans queuing up to buy tour t-shirts prices from €40 to €45, and other merchandise.
Both of Oasis’s shows sold out in record time when they went on sale last year, with controversial ‘dynamic pricing’ pushing up the cost of some tickets to a whopping €450 each.

The band kick off their north American dates in Toronto on Sunday week, and will later play London again on September 27 and 28.
They wrap up their ‘Live ‘25’ tour, which kicked off in Cardiff on July 4, in Sao Paolo in Brazil on November 23.
Oasis last played Ireland at Slane Castle in 2009, splitting up months later in Paris after a bust-up backstage between the Gallagher brothers.
There are hopes by fans left without thickets for the tour this year that they will stage more shows next year, with a third return to Slane Castle on the cards.
