The former Oasis frontman was outspoken about his thoughts on the festival, which takes place in Indio, California this month.

Liam Gallagher has called Coachella Festival "pathetic".

The former Oasis frontman isn't backwards about coming forwards when it comes to his opinions and things were no different when the subject of the California festival, which kicked off last weekend, was brought up on Twitter.

When a fan suggested he headline the festival and show headliner "Frank Ocean how it's done," he simply replied: "Pathetic festival".

However, when another follower pointed out he'd actually played the festival himself in the past, the Everything's Electric singer argued: "Never wouldn’t catch me at an establishment like that".

Another fan chimed in to share an image of Gallagher at the festival, where Oasis headlined alongside Björk in 2002.

Also on the bill that year were the likes of The Chemical Brothers, The Prodigy, Foo Fighters, The Strokes, Queens Of The Stone Age and Belle & Sebastian.
