Liam Gallagher's one word for Edinburgh Council at final Oasis gig at Murrayfield
Liam Gallagher had one last statement for Edinburgh Council before wrapping up the third night of Oasis at Murrayfield.
The 52-year-old was left 'raging' after fans of the band were labelled 'drunk, fat and old' in a leaked briefing. Across all three gigs and on social media, Liam made his feelings known, reports the Daily Record.
On Tuesday night, Liam slammed the council chiefs for a third time, calling them 'ugly'. He added: "£3billion we've brought into this city over the past five days. And that's between you and us. Three billion f****** quid.
"You won't see f*** all, because they'll rob it and spread it among their posh ugly mates.
"Still waiting for our apology, bring it on down, you c****".
This comes after the singer demanded an apology in a sweary rant at their first night at Murrayfield Stadium on Friday and called council chiefs "f****** slags".
Then at Saturday's show, the Rock 'n' Roll star targeted the local authority again, saying they have "the cheek" to make comments about his fans. Back in June, one note from the council's briefing documents showed officials warning that "middle-aged men take up more room, consider this when working out occupancy".

Another detailed "concern about crowds of Oasis on weekends as they are already rowdy and the tone of the band". One document also suggested there would be "medium to high intoxication" at the concert, and to expect a "substantial amount of older fans", but added there had been "minimal arrests" at recent events involving either of the Gallagher brothers.
Oasis didn't take the comments lightly, with Liam saying at the time: "To the Edinburgh council I've heard what you said about Oasis fans and quite frankly your attitude f****** stinks. I'd leave town that day if I was any of you lot."
Around 67,000 people packed out the venue this evening in what some might say was a "biblical" and "truly magical" gig, with over 200,000 attending all three shows in total. Britpop act Cast from Liverpool and rocker Richard Ashcroft dazzled fans as Oasis' support acts before the Mancunian brothers took to the stage each night.

Fans who successfully snapped up tickets for the Oasis 25 dates back in September 2024 had waited 332 days to see the band's first Scottish dates since the Gallagher brothers began a well-publicised and long running feud that split the band. The Murrayfield shows followed similar reunion concerts in Cardiff, Manchester and London. The band will play their next UK and Ireland dates in Dublin this weekend.
They'll kick off the North American leg on August 24, in Toronto, Canada before returning to the UK to wrap up the UK shows at Wembley on September 27 and 28.

Because I'd love to see you there! I'll be having conversations with some of our best-loved names in telly, theatre, music, and more – about their own life and work, but also about their favourite Scottish albums, books and films. Fans of wildlife film-maker Gordon Buchanan will have the chance to see another side of the globe-trotting TV favourite up-close; music and acting royalty Barbara Dickson joins me for a blether, and she'll play us some songs; actor, broadcaster, panto star and sell-out festival favourite Grant Stott makes his only Fringe appearance this year. I'll also be joined by Del Amitri's Justin Currie, Still Game's Gavin Mitchell (aka Boabby the Barman), and music icon Horse, who'll celebrate 35 years of her debut, The Same Sky, with reflections on the record, and she'll perform some tracks from it too.

At the moment, I'm immersed in the novels, films and records that have been chosen for these conversations. No spoilers, but that means I've been going to bed reading Muriel Spark and Michael Pedersen, waking up listening to Barbara Dickson and the Fire Engines' Davy Henderson, watching some of Scotland's best-loved movies. I hope that, if you come along, you'll leave armed with a reading / listening / watching list of great Scottish work you might have not encountered, or might be inspired to revisit. There'll certainly be a few surprises. Thanks for the interview! We'd like to buy you a drink. Where are we going and what are we drinking? Gavin Mitchell – Boabby the Barman – is my guest on Monday, so can I transpose The Clansman from Still Game to Edinburgh? Two pints, obviously.
