The youngster, from the Highlands, is a huge fan of the Britpop icons and even dressed up as frontman Liam for Halloween.
He even has an Oasis-themed bedroom and constantly listens to the band on his mum, Lisa's, Spotify account.
And when the music app revealed that Harris had sent Lisa into Oasis' top listeners, she he knew she had to work out a way to get him to one of the sell-out shows at Murrayfield Stadium.
Liam kicked off the first of three massive gigs in the capital city on Friday alongside brother Noel, 58 - ending a 16-year wait for the return of the Be Here Now stars.
And Lisa managed to get tickets for Harris to go on Tuesday night, which was the third and final Scottish night of their comeback gigs.
She decided to surprise him on the morning of the show, and young Harris was overcome with excitement.
I got tickets at the weekend and decided to surprise him on the day. We drove down from Golspie
Lisa Mackay
Lisa told The Scottish Sun: "Last year, when the tickets went on sale, Harris got up early and set up his phone to try and help me and his dad get tickets.
"He spent the whole day in the queue trying to get us tickets, and we had no luck! Thankfully, my friend got Heaton Park tickets, and we got two.
"From then on, he just got more and more into Oasis - he dressed as
Liam for Halloween and sang Wonderwall in every house he went to. Much to the annoyance of all his pals.
"At Christmas, when Spotify unwrapped came out, it came up that I was in the top 0.5 per cent of listeners.

"He uses my account, and I knew then he was a huge fan. He has been following the whole tour on Instagram and telling me everything that has been going on.
"He was so excited for us when we went off to Manchester in July, and again so excited for his uncle and auntie getting to go to Murrayfield on Saturday.
"So I just decided to bite the bullet. I got tickets at the weekend and decided to surprise him on the day.
"We drove down from Golspie in the Highlands."
Best night of my life
Harris Mackay
Lisa filmed the moment she gave him the tickets, and after finding out they were going that night, Harris tells his mum, "I love you so much".
The sweet video quickly went viral on social media and was shared by a fan page on Instagram called Oasis Live 25.
The captioned the clip: "This is it!! This is what Oasis means to people. Lisa making her little boy, Harris', dreams come true."
Replying in the comments, Harris himself said: "Best night of my life".
Other followers flocked to the comments, with many saying they were left "in tears" watching Harris' joy.
One person said: "Tears to my eyes watching the happiness of this young boy".
Another added: "Who else is crying right now?!"
Someone else posted: "Beautiful. Great taste in music lad!! What an amazing summer this band have given us all."
While a fourth wrote: "I love this! What a truly appreciative, lucky and grateful young man he is".
And a fifth chimed in: "Totally welling up at 'I love you so much'".
DEFINITELY I DO
HARRIS isn't the only one who had a life-changing night at one of the Oasis shows at Murrayfield.
A couple in the crowd got engaged during the sold-out Oasis gig in Edinburgh on Friday night.
Gigs in Scotland caught the adorable moment an Oasis fan got down on one knee during the band's hit Slide Away.
In a clip shared on social media, Liam can be seen singing the 1994 song.
As he sings the lyrics: "Now that you're mine," the camera then pans around to the fan proposing to his girlfriend.
During the video, the woman, dressed in an Oasis top and bucket hat, can be seen saying yes during the proposal.
He then pops the ring on her finger and the couple share a kiss as they enjoy the heartwarming moment.
Gigs in Scotland wrote: "We caught a very special moment during Slide Away...
"Huge congrats to the happy couple!"
Lisa told The Scottish Sun that Harris has always loved music, and even sang before he could talk after a "tough start" to life.
The mum said: "He has always loved music since he was tiny, could literally sing before he could talk properly.
"He was born with a condition which made him unable to breathe for himself when he was born, and he was in hospital for the first six months of his life.
"He needed an operation at two to close a cleft palate, so it was a tough start for him.
"Music has always been in bones.
"His first favourite band was The Beatles, and we took him to some tribute shows of them and Creedence Clearwater Revival when he was as young as five."

Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Frankie Bridge has landed a major new ITV role Credit: Getty 5 It is a huge boost for the star away from Loose Women Credit: Rex 5 She will be a judge on M&S: Dress The Nation Credit: ITV The Sun told how ITV had been forced to step-in to ensure there was little-to-no interaction between the former friends amid feelings of tension between the trio. But in a huge boost to Frankie, she has cemented her position at ITV even further after bagging a brand new role on the channel. The singer will be appearing as a judge on the upcoming series of ITV's M&S: Dress The Nation. Frankie has launched her own fashion edits on social media in recent years and was always noted for her style during her popstar days. ITV were quick to jump on this and hire her to give her best critique's to the contestants on the hit show. It was revealed earlier this year that Dress The Nation would be back with Vernon Kay and AJ Odudu back in the hot seat to host. A source told the Daily Star of Frankie's casting on the show: "Producers think Frankie is perfect for the show because she's so fashionable." It will no doubt raise the eyebrow of Rochelle, who is a long-standing brand ambassador for Marks & Spencer, which has an active partnership in the programme. Despite rumours of a rift between the ladies, they dropped huge clues recently that all was well between them. Rochelle and Frankie have both been interacting with one another on Instagram by liking a slew of each other's snaps. Rochelle showed her appreciation for Frankie's holiday snaps with Frankie returning the favour on her bandmate's posts - throwing speculation of an ongoing rift out of the window. Watch the awkward moment feuding stars Myleene Klass and Frankie Bridge come face to face on live TV However, neither of the ladies have engaged with Myleene since it emerged that the former Hear'Say singer was feuding with them both. Neither Rochelle or Frankie follow her on social media. All three former pop stars now work as Daytime presenters at ITV. They were all once close, with Loose Women hosts Myleene and Frankie attending Rochelle's hen do back in 2012. However, Rochelle and Frankie remained friends with their former bodyguard and Myleene's ex husband Graham Quinn. 5 There had been rumours of a rift between Frankie and Rochelle Credit: Getty 5 Myleene Klass has reportedly fell out with the stars of The Saturdays Credit: Getty Rochelle even posted snaps with Graham in Ibiza last week. In 2013, soon after Myleene's divorce from Graham, guests at the Glamour Women of the Year awards saw her storm over to Frankie after believing she had been blanked. A source previously said: 'Myleene seemed to take that as Frankie taking sides with Graham because of their working relationship." Meanwhile, Frankie and Myleene have not appeared on Loose Women together since an 'awkward' episode last December. Sources said that though they'd rather not be on together, they are professionals and do their best to make things work.

Peter Andre gushes over wife Emily after blistering Katie Price statement
Peter Andre took to social media over the weekend to pay tribute to his wife as she marks her latest birthday - with his compliments coming days after he threatened to expose ex-wife Katie Price's 'lies' Peter Andre made a gushing tribute to his wife, Emily - amid his explosive fall out with ex-wife Katie Price. Drama has been thrown on the Andre family after Pete lashed out at his troubled ex - accusing her of peddling lies about their family dynamic for years. But over the weekend, he pushed the tension to one side to make his day all about his doctor wife, Doctor Emily Andre, who turned 36. Pop singer Peter, 52, and occasional TV star Emily have been an item since 2012. They married in 2015 and have three children together: Amelia, 11, Theodore James, 8, and one-year-old Arabella Rose. Emily is also stepmother to Peter's two oldest kids: 20-year-old son Junior and 18-year-old daughter Princess. READ MORE: Katie Price's cryptic response to Peter Andre statement in full as she calls herself a 'sinner' On Saturday, Peter made it clear that he and his family adore his wife, sharing a collection of images of her on his Instagram feed, which he also pinned to the top of his page. He gushed in an accompanying statement: "Happy Birthday, Emily. We love you beyond words." The cover image showed Emily flashing a beaming smile while wearing an elegant evening dress and dripping in jewels. While further snaps showed Peter proudly posing alongside her on various sun-soaked holidays. The touching snaps came just days after Peter sensationally lashed out at Katie, 47, after she hinted she had been blocked from taking part in a recent documentary about daughter Princess. The star then went on to suggest Peter join her on her podcast so they could clear the air over their relationship as co-parents. But reacting furiously to the proposal, Peter wrote in a stinging social media post: "For sixteen years, I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That ends today. "The latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight. For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood. In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. I have never made this public before, out of respect for my children. "In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases found my ex-wife had made false claims. She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise to me and my management. The same falsehoods are being repeated today. Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations I have yet to address. Those will now be dealt with in the coming months." His threat came after Katie previously claimed she was "very, very upset" over being excluded from taking part in an ITV documentary about her oldest daughter. Speaking on her podcast last week, Katie proposed a face-to-face discussion with Peter and her former management The CAN Group, stating: "I feel like I've missed out on so much and it's so not fair to bring Princess as piggy in the middle so I think it's about time all of us adults just sit down and talk about what their beef is with me and just get over it. Life would be such more at peace." She also expressed wishes for herself and Peter to back their children together. Katie proposed: "There's no reason why both parents can't be there to support her." But her suggestion was met with an unexpected rejection from Peter, who is now threatening to leak truths about the nature of their relationship from the past 16 years. Katie has three other children - with eldest son Harvey, 23, from a past romance with footballer Dwigth Yorke. Her two youngest kids, 11-year-old Bunny and 12-year-old Jett, are from her third marriage, which was with Kieran Hayler. The former couple were married from 2013 until their divorce in 2021.

Speaking to the Special Forces staff on the show, an emotional Adam explains how he was diagnosed with depression. He struggles to get his words out before saying: "One of them was with my erm lost it was really close to getting there a second time and telling everyone." As the tears fall, the staff clarify that he's talking about a miscarriage and Adam nods. He adds: "I think I was proud of the fact that I was excited for it, which I didn't think I ever would be. "And when it got taken away, and it was 10 times worse for her, I think it hit us like a tonne of bricks. "We just really, really went to a bit of a bad place. And to be honest, in front of her I pretended I was cool, and pretended I was absolutely fine."

As Adam stands up to read his out, he pays tribute to Laura and how much he is thinking of her, before saying: "The last few months have been really tough, but nowhere near as tough as you.

Despite their baby heartbreak, the couple - who got together in 2023 and became engaged in September last year - welcomed son Leo in January this year. What is miscarriage and why do pregnancies fail? MISCARRIAGE is generally the death of an unborn baby in the first 24 weeks – approximately six months – of pregnancy. Miscarriages may not be spoken about a lot but they are very common. Baby loss charity Tommy's estimates there are at least 250,000 per year in the UK and that one in every five pregnancies ends in miscarriage. It may not be clear why a miscarriage happens but they are rarely caused by anything done by the mother or father. Usually the embryo has a random genetic defect that means it cannot develop properly. Most women can go on to successfully have healthy babies in the future. The NHS says most miscarriages cannot be prevented but avoiding smoking, alcohol and drugs while pregnant can reduce the risk. Some of the other most common reasons for a pregnancy to fail in the first 24 weeks are ectopic pregnancy and molar pregnancy. Ectopic pregnancy is where a fertilised egg implants somewhere outside of the womb, usually in a fallopian tube. It cannot survive and grow there so either dies naturally or must be terminated. Molar pregnancy is rarer but happens when a fertilised egg and/or placenta does not develop properly at the start of a pregnancy. There is no single reason why it happens and cannot be prevented, though it may be more common in very young or old mothers. A baby who dies after 24 weeks is considered a stillbirth.
