Oasis star Noel Gallagher kept a low profile on Wednesday evening when he was spotted in Melbourne, heading out for dinner with one of his sons ahead of his much-anticipated sold-out reunion concert.
In typical Noel fashion, the rock legend opted for a laidback, casual look, donning a black zipped-up jacket, matching pants, sneakers, and his signature sunglasses.
Despite keeping his presence understated, the former Oasis guitarist still exuded rock star charisma.
The Manchester native appeared relaxed as he made his way through the city, enjoying some father-son time while keeping fans guessing.
His visit comes just days before he takes the stage for a reunion performance that has fans flocking from across Australia.
Even in casual attire, the musician’s unmistakable aura made it clear that one of Britpop’s biggest icons was in town – proving that Noel doesn’t need flash to command attention.

He was not joined by his brother Liam Gallagher, who earlier in the week was seen arriving Down Under without Noel on a private jet.
Liam kept a low profile with a yellow bucket hat and sunglasses as he disembarked the plane after a late flight.
The English singer wore a dark jumper and was escorted to an awaiting car by airport staff.
The Wonderwall fan favourites will play the first of their Australian gigs at Marvel Stadium on Friday, October 31, followed by performances on Saturday and Tuesday.
They will then head to Sydney for shows at the Accor Stadium on Friday and Saturday next week, November 7 and 8.
It will be the first time the band has toured the country since 2005.
The band has a huge following in Australia, with two of their albums reaching number one on the ARIA chart and their hit song Wonderwall hitting the top spot in 1996.
Last year, the band announced they were reuniting for the first time since 2009 after Noel and Liam finally put their differences aside following a long-standing feud.

The news prompted a ticket-buying frenzy across the UK, as die-hard fans fought to score a spot to see their favourite band.
Many devastated Oasis fans were left empty-handed when the hotly-anticipated 17-date UK reunion tour sold out in a matter of hours in an online fiasco.
Around 14 million fans faced eight-hour queues in a bid to get their hands on the highly-sought-after tickets to see the rock band live, with many still missing out.
While other lucky fans managed to nab tickets, many were forced to splash out huge amounts on them after dynamic pricing saw costs soar to almost double within mere hours.
After working through countless fights since they shot to stardom in the 1990s, fans were left devastated when a dressing room feud in Paris tore the band apart in 2009.
Noel insisted he would never work with Liam again and described him as ‘a fork in a world of soup’, kicking off their years-long feud.
In the 14 years that have followed, a feud and bitter fighting has ensued with the brothers trading insults back and forth in interviews and social media.
Despite their differences, sources claimed in PJ Harrison’s book In The Fall And Rise Of Oasis that the brothers ‘still really love each other’.
