Liam Gallagher's hilarious seven-word comment about Murrayfield Oasis crowds
A Scots dad who bumped into Liam Gallagher whilst out with his family described the rock star as being "warm and funny". The Oasis frontman was spotted strolling around the grounds of The Gleneagles Hotel in Auchterarder on Sunday.
Liam had been taking some much-needed rest after performing two gigs at Edinburgh's Murrayfield stadium in the capital city. Jonathan Dunn was taking a walk with his two children when he recognised Liam.
The Oasis star was joined by his fiancée and manager Debbie Gwyther. Jonathan, together with his children Harrison and Saffie, said Liam was "not in the slightest bit dismissive" and had a proper chat with the family before posing for photos.
The dad had attended Murrayfield on Friday, August 8 for Oasis' opening night in Edinburgh. After mentioning his attendance to Liam, the musician responded: "Youse lot are off yer f***in heads."
Liam and Noel Gallagher are set to return to the stage at Murrayfield on Tuesday, August 12, for their final Scottish show. Speaking to Edinburgh Live, Jonathan revealed: "I live in Auchterarder and went up to Gleneagles yesterday afternoon with my two kids, Harrison, 14, and Saffie, 7.
"We were walking on the lawn and I said to Harrison 'I'm sure that's Liam Gallagher over there?' I've been a huge fan for 30 years and seen them countless times over the years, including twice already on this tour.
"He was with his fiance and manager Debbie, I asked if I could please bother him for a photo and he couldn't have been more friendly. I told him I was at Murrayfield on Friday and he said, 'Youse lot are off yer f***in heads!'."
He continued: "I introduced him to Harrison who said to him, 'Dad took me to Heaton Park a couple of weeks ago, it was insane!' To which he replied, 'it's you lot who are insane, I didn't do anything!'
"He then said to Harrison, 'Come on, you get in for a photo too' and gave him a first pump. They say don't meet your heros, well if your hero is Liam Gallagher then I say you absolutely have to!
"He was absolutely amazing! Warm, funny, not in the slightest bit dismissive. Shout out to Debbie too."
While Liam might think the Edinburgh crowds are 'off their heads', he remains seething with the local council and is 'still waiting for an apology' over a report which suggested the band's fans would be "rowdy" and "intoxicated".
While on stage on Friday at their first show, the musician ranted: "One second, where do I start here with everyone at the city council, the f*****g s***s.
"£1 billion pounds we're bringing to this city over the next three days. £1billion. But you won't see any of it."

Oasis 'flooded with huge offers for 2026 shows including Knebworth' amid reunion success
Liam and Noel Gallagher could carry on their huge Oasis reunion tour into next year as offers have reportedly been put to the band as the decision is all in their hands Oasis are said to have been inundaded with offers for shows for next year following their mega reunion this year. Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher put their decades long feud aside as they reunited the iconic band for a string of shows. They kicked off in Cardiff last month before heading to Manchester, London and Edinburgh. The Britpop stars are set to carry on to Dublin before moving over to the US, Asia, Australasia and South America. Rumours have already been circulating that Oasis could carry on into 2026. It comes after Paul Weller revealed the unusual reason he refuses to watch Oasis concerts. Fans are hoping Oasis will head to Knebworth House next year as they mark the 30th anniversary of their two historic shows there. It would mean they would tip rival Robbie Williams off the post as the artist to have played the most shows at the Hertfordshire venue. According to the Sun, Oasis has been offered four dates at Knebworth along with a possible residency at their beloved Manchester City's Etihad Stadium. Fake posters of a 2026 tour have already appeared online as fans hold out hope for a chance to see the brothers back in action. However, it all boils down to whether Liam and Noel are really up for carrying it on. 'They'll be having a well-earned holiday as soon as this tour finishes later this year,' a source told the publication. 'As for 2026, they've seen the speculation, they've heard about the offers and they know what the fans want. But it's ultimately up for them to decide." Oasis: What's Their Story? An unofficial celebration magazine on sale now! A few simple words on social media on August 27 in 2024 were enough to spark pandemonium among Oasis fans and were the catalyst for the most eagerly awaited UK gigs of all time. This special unofficial magazine, available to order here, marks the reunion and honours the band both now and down the years with our incredible archive of photos and interviews - and with exclusive reviews and photographs of their first show! They added that it is up for Liam and Noel to weigh up if they want to "draw a line in the sand" or "keep the magic going". Yet, it is a "difficult decision". Festivals have also been holding out hope to bag Oasis at their events as they added both Coachella and Benicassim have sent offers to the band. The current tour was announced last year, almost 15 years to the date of their split, and a move that fans never believed would happen due to the tensions between Liam and Noel. Ever since Noel walked away, the two siblings have hurled insults at one another across social media and in interviews. But now, those days are firmly in the past with the two brothers walking out on stage each night holding hands, as though there had never been any bad blood.

Oasis' manager, Alec McKinlay, previously said that the current dates are the only ones that the band will be performing. He said in May: "This is very much the last time around, as Noel's made clear in the press. "It's a chance for fans who haven't seen the band to see them, or at least for some of them to. No, there's no plans for any new music." But Liam later hit out at the comments, saying that they came from "the accountant". Replying to a fan on X, he fumed: "Neither do I and the only people that will be making any kind of decisions on the future of OASIS will be ME n RKID [Noel] so let's just take it one day at a time."

If you've not had your fill of Oasis yet, her first episode is a loving deep dive into fandom and how one Mancunian outfit went where no 90s band had gone before.

Oasis' future after their string of reunion gigs end 'revealed' as Gallagher brothers are flooded with performance opportunities
It's been just over one month since Oasis kicked off their huge reunion tour. And according to reports the brothers have since been hit with huge offers to extend their comeback to next year, including four massive shows at Knebworth House. The gigs would mark the 30th anniversary of the Britpop legends' 1996 history-making concerts and would see Noel and Liam Gallagher top Robbie Williams ' record of three nights at the Hertfordshire venue. Rumours have also swirled about a potential residency at Manchester City's Etihad Stadium, with fan forums buzzing and fake posters doing the rounds online. However, those close to the band insist no deals have been signed and there are no concrete plans for 2026. A source told The Sun: 'They've seen the speculation, they've heard about the offers and they know what the fans want.' They added that the reunion has become 'a cultural movement' and the brothers must now decide whether to close the book on their epic comeback or keep the magic alive. They said: 'It's ultimately up for them to decide. The Oasis reunion hasn't just been concerts. You can see that it's been a cultural movement. Nothing comes close in recent history to Oasis's shows. 'It's a question of whether Noel and Liam want to draw a line in the sand and close the door on this chapter, knowing they captured the zeitgeist. Or do they strike it up again and keep the magic going? It's a difficult decision to make.' The Daily Mail has contacted Oasis representatives for comment. It comes after Liam launched a scathing attack on Edinburgh Fringe - the world's biggest performing arts festival - claiming it is a celebration of 'thick s***'. The 52-year-old rock star tore into the event during his band's opening show at Murrayfield Stadium. He told 70,000 fans the city's arts festival bonanza just involved people 'juggling f***ing b******s... swallowing swords' and 's****y card tricks'. Moments after stepping out on stage Friday's gig, Liam Gallagher said: 'What about Edinburgh council, the f***ing slags. It comes after Liam launched a scathing attack on Edinburgh Fringe - the world's biggest performing arts festival - claiming it is a celebration of 'thick s***' 'The amount of money we're going to bring in, they'll split with their posh, ugly mates. Still waiting for a f***ing apology.' After a brief pause, he then rounded on the Fringe festival, saying: 'What's happening in Edinburgh then? What's all that thick s***? 'People juggling f***ing b******s and that? Swallowing swords... one-legged bicycles. What's all that s*** about? S****y card tricks?' His comments came after bosses at Edinburgh council branded the band's fans as drunk, fat and middle-aged and could deter performers away from attending this month's Fringe festival.
