5 surprising items banned from Oasis at Murrayfield as band's huge gigs just days away
Oasis are about to take their world-famous reunion tour to Edinburgh, performing three nights at Murrayfield Stadium. This long-awaited run of gigs will be the first time in 16 years the Gallaghers have played in Scotland.
Their last performance north of the border, also at Murrayfield, came a short time before their very public breakup way back in 2009. Liam and Noel will perform to around 200,000 fans in the capital across the three shows on August 8, 9, and 12.
But with so many music lovers descending on the venue, it's vital to make sure you can get yourself through the entry gates as efficiently as possible. All revellers will be searched upon entry where security will confiscate any prohibited items.
So it's a good idea to familiarise yourself with what you can and cannot take into the gig at Murrayfield Stadium.
While some items are obviously prohibited, such as alcohol, drugs or weapons, there are some everyday essentials that you wouldn't expect would hold you up at the doors.
Keep reading for some surprising items that are banned from the Oasis gig at Murrayfield, and scroll to the bottom of the page for a full list of contraband items.
Surprising items that are banned from Oasis Murrayfield
Umbrellas
While many of us Scots don't go anywhere without our most trusted umbrella, if you take one to the Oasis gig they'll confiscate it- and you probably won't get it back.
Scotland may be rainy, but you'll need a rain jacket or waterproof poncho instead, as all umbrellas, no matter what size, are on the contraband list.
Musical instruments
Most of us definitely weren't planning on bringing a drum kit or guitar into the pit, but in case you were expecting to be invited up on stage for Wonderwall - only the band are allowed to bring their instruments.
Hard water bottles
If you usually go everywhere with a bottle of water in your bag, you'll have to remember to leave it at home for the gig.
Exceptions include an unopened soft plastic water bottle no bigger than 500ml, or an empty collapsible water bottle of the same size which you can refill in the venue.
If you don't already have a collapsible water bottle, some cheap options are available, such as this one from Amazon, which currently retails at £8.39 Alternatively, this Decathlon option from Argos is available for £12.
Animals
All animals, except guide dogs, are forbidden. Those bringing an assistance dog should make customer services aware ahead of the show.
Tripods and selfie sticks
You may want to record moments of the upcoming concerts, but gig-goers shouldn't bring any large equipment with them, including selfie sticks or tripods.
Here's a full list of prohibited items from Murrayfield.

Liam Gallagher's cheeky reference after being filmed outside portaloo by fan
At the height of Oasis' fame in the 90s and 00s, the rock band were known to be big party animals. Liam Gallagher made a cheeky drug reference to fans who spotted him heading to a backstage portaloo toilet at Oasis Live 25' reunion tour. Never one to shy away from the camera, the 52-year-old waved to get fans' attention after he seen them filming him while he was outside the toilet. Alluding to his wild younger years, the Oasis star then mimicked snorting cocaine multiple times before heading into the toilet. At the height of Oasis' fame in the 90s and 00s, the rock band were known to be big party animals with drink and drugs being a huge part of their rock and roll star status. The Gallagher brothers have since scaled it down with their antics with Liam previously admitting he had stopped drinking ahead of their reunion tour in order to 'get healthy'. However, getting healthy does not mean he's lost his sense of humour as fans praised his light hearted nature after the clip was posted on TikTok by user 1981quarterpounder, the Metro reports. In the comments, one social media user joked: "What mysterious activity is he suggesting to us" while another wrote: "Just Liam being Liam." A third penned: "Never change. Honestly made me laugh so much." Meanwhile, other people were concerned the Oasis star was 'setting a bad example' for younger fans, sparking debate about his 'sense of humour'. One disapproving person remarked: "A good example for the young generation". Another fan responded to this comment, saying: "Not his job to bring kids up properly. Fair enough if he was straight up encouraging it but he's not so". Other fans argued Liam could have simply been struggling with hayfever or a cold and was miming blowing his nose instead. One joked: "He's trying to say he's going to blow his nose as his hayfever is giving him some grief… what else could he be saying?" Another chimed in: "Poor Liam suffering from hay fever, must be bad constantly blowing your nose when your trying to perform." Liam often made headlines back in the day for his tendency to overindulge in drugs and destroy one or two hotel rooms in his wake. Meanwhile, his older brother Noel, 58, who was generally seen as more reserved. Liam developed a reputation of causing a riot at after parties with drink and drugs fuelling his antics. He once smashed up the studio they were recording in with a cricket bat, which also ended up being used by Noel to whack his sibling on the head. In their Supersonic biography, Michael Spencer Jones, the photographer behind Oasis' first three album covers, said a local repairman declared they hadn't seen damage like that 'since Ozzy Osbourne and Sabbath were recording [t]here.'

Speaking of the (What's The Story) Morning Glory album launch party, Liam said: "As soon as a line went up my nose, I could have been anywhere, mate". Speaking to The Guardian in 2017, the Champagne Supernova singer shared: "There are a few of my mates that ain't here no more, through drugs. There are a few that are in the nick. "So I think I wouldn't have got a proper job because I'm not that clever with that stuff. So I'd have been digging or dead or really badly into drugs, which would obviously lead to being dead. "Rock 'n' roll saved my life. And I am forever in debt. I am forever in debt to rock 'n' roll, and I would never, ever think of doing another form of music. Ever."
