"Noel Gallagher has said that he wanted Blur to headline above him at an upcoming Teenage Cancer Trust show. The ex-Oasis songwriter will play after his former Britpop rivals Damon Albarn and Graham Coxon at London&amp;#039;s Royal Albert Hall on March 23.   &amp;quot;We thought, &amp;#039;We need something that&amp;#039;s a proper jaw-dropping bill&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; Gallagher told ShortList. &amp;quot;And then I thought, &amp;#039;Well, Blur have never done it, so I&amp;#039;ll ask them&amp;#039;. As luck would have it, I was on tour with Graham [Coxon], so I asked him then.&amp;quot; He continued: &amp;quot;He said Blur had been put to bed for the time being, but he&amp;#039;d ask Damon [Albarn]. &amp;quot;So I have Graham to thank for this. It was quite a moment when I got the call saying, &amp;#039;They&amp;#039;re definitely going to do it&amp;#039;.  &amp;quot;I wanted them to headline, with me going on [before them]. But I don&amp;#039;t think they were comfortable with that, so the night before the announcement we switched the billing.&amp;quot; Gallagher added: &amp;quot;I don&amp;#039;t know what they&amp;#039;re going to do, actually. I was speaking to Damon at the Brits and he was a bit coy, but he said it&amp;#039;s going to be something &amp;#039;unique and special&amp;#039;. &amp;quot;I just think it will be one of those nights where people can say they were there.&amp;quot; Watch the Newsround report on the Brtipop battle between Oasis and Blur below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
