Have Oasis played Murrayfield before as countdown to Edinburgh gig underway
The countdown to the much anticipated Edinburgh Oasis shows is officially underway, with the Gallaghers playing three nights at Murrayfield stadium next month. The brothers' highly anticipated reunion tour will see Oasis reunite on the Edinburgh stage for the first time in 15 years.
Up to 210,000 eager fans are to descend on Murrayfield Stadium on August 8, 9 and 12 to hear classics like Wonderwall and Live Forever for the first time since the famous brothers' even more famous fallout.
Oasis have already played the first couple of legs of their reunion tour, which kicked off at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on July 4. The band are currently in the middle of their Manchester leg of the tour, where the pair are playing five nights at Heaton Park in their hometown.
Following their Manchester gigs, the Gallagher brothers are to play five nights at London's Wembley Stadium before heading north for Edinburgh's performances.
But as Oasis are soon to make their iconic return to Scotland, many have been led to wonder whether the Gallaghers have played Murrayfield before. Here's everything you need to know about the brothers' past Scottish gigs.
Have Oasis played Murrayfield Stadium before?
Oasis played Murrayfield Stadium twice, most recently in 2009, just before their infamous argument.
They played in June, mere weeks before their last ever gig for 15 years.
The band also previously played Murrayfield in the year 2000.
Some other notable Scottish gigs that the pair have played include King Tut's in Glasgow in May of 1993 as well as Plaza and Cathouse in December of the same year, also both in Glasgow.
Oasis played a series of gigs in Scotland in 1994, including Gleneagles, La Belle Angel in Edinburgh, Tramway in Glasgow, and the iconic long-gone Scots festival T in the Park.
Other iconic Scottish venues and festivals that saw Oasis take stage before their break-up included Glasgow's Barrowlands, Glasgow Green Festival and Edinburgh's Usher Hall, according to their 'gigography'.
Can you still buy tickets for the Oasis reunion dates in Edinburgh?
General admission for the Edinburgh dates sold out almost instantly, like all of the tour dates for Oasis' reunion.
However, several other options still exist to try and bag resale tickets, although you'll have to be quick on the ball.
Twickets is a reselling site that offers a platform for fans to sell their tickets at face value or less. If you're lucky, you could catch a ticket this way, but be careful- if you blink you could miss it.
Ticketmaster also offers a verified ticket resale service, but again, you'll have to be vigilant to catch one before it sells again.
After their many UK dates, including the three Edinburgh shows, the Oasis tour then goes worldwide with dates in Brazil, Australia, South Korea, Japan and the US.

Ryan Reynolds won't want Wrexham signing to replicate fans incident he had to apologise for
Wrexham will be hoping Josh Windass has learned from past mistakes after signing the ex-Sheffield Wednesday star on a free transfer ahead of their Championship campaign Wrexham secured a big coup this week by signing former Sheffield Wednesday man Josh Windass. The attacking midfielder boasts some impressive numbers after scoring 53 goals for the Owls in 182 appearances. The Welsh side didn't even have to fork out a single penny on a transfer fee for the 31-year-old after he left Hillsborough last week by mutual agreement following issues with delayed wage payments. Wrexham have had a busy summer transfer window following their promotion to the Championship at the end of last season, with manager Phil Parkinson bringing in five new players so far. The arrival of Windass will have come as music to the ears of the club's Hollywood owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney. However, his career has not been without controversy and the two actors will be hoping he doesn't show their team in a bad light by repeating past mistakes. One notable incident occurred while was playing for Scottish giants Rangers in February 2018. Windass was forced to apologise after a controversial goal celebration during a 2-0 win over Partick Thistle. Then aged 24, he infuriated his own supporters by putting a finger to his lips in front of them after scoring the opening goal. Windass later said sorry to the Rangers faithful after seemingly getting frustrated by criticism of his performances from some sections of the fanbase. Speaking at the time, Windass told Sky Sports News: "There was no real reason or malice in the celebration, it was just a bit of instinct after I'd scored. It was just a little bit of frustration. "It was nothing to do with social media, it was just how I was playing in the game up to that point, I was a bit frustrated. I've just reacted in maybe the wrong way, but it's what happens sometimes in football. You just go for emotion." He added: "I'd forgot about it straight away, it's just other people bringing it up to me, I'll just let them talk about it and I'll just concentrate on myself." His outspoken nature landed him in hot water as recently as May this year. It came after Windass levelled scathing criticism towards a former Wednesday youth team player. He labelled defender Joey Phuthi 'p**h' after claiming the 20-year-old had compared himself to Lionel Messi. Windass made his remarks during a discussion about fitness and running stats on the Open Goal podcast. "We've got a young lad called Joey - I think he's been released. He's p**h anyway," said Windass "I was speaking to him in the canteen at football and one of our coaches said to me, 'have a word with Joey, he never runs more than 9k in a game ever'. "So I was speaking to him and I was like, 'how much do you run in a game' and he said '9km - Messi don't run'. A kid at 17, I didn't say anything to him but I was thinking, 'you're the worst player ever and you're talking about Messi - run around." Phuthi later described the criticism from Windass as 'disappointing' and claimed his comments were taken out of context. The full-back also said the row had made a tough period for him even harder. Posting on X, he said: "Not being offered a new contract at Sheffield Wednesday has been difficult to process and the last thing I expected was to be dragged into something like this. For clarity, the conversation has been completely flipped out of context." Windass is the son of former Premier League striker Dean Windass, who played for the likes of Hull, Middlesbrough and Bradford. His dad was diagnosed with dementia earlier this year, leading to an outpouring of support from the football community. Josh joins Wrexham as they prepare to play in the Championship for the first time in 43 years next season. The Red Dragons have been handed a tough start as they face Southampton away in their opening fixture on August 9.

New Edinburgh music venues land share of £14m cash pot
The Wolfson Foundation has agreed to support the creation of a new National Centre for Music and concert hall at the former Royal High School, one of the city's most prominent landmarks, on Calton Hill. It will also be funding Edinburgh's first purpose-built concert hall for a century, which is earmarked for a site behind a Royal Bank of Scotland building in the New Town. Read more: The two projects, which have both been in the planning for more than decade, will get a share of £14m worth of grants announced by a UK-wide charity. And it is hoped they will be able to secure further support as the projects progress in the next few years. The Dunard Centre will be Edinburgh's first purpose-built concert hall for more than a century. (Image: David Chipperfield Architects) Both projects are being largely bankrolled by Scotland's biggest arts philanthropist, Carol Colburn Grigor. Her Dunard Fund has committed at least £45m to the £69m National Centre for [[Music]] project. It recently secured a pledge of up to £5m from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and £2.85m from a separate charitable trust set up by the late British philanthropist Julia Rausing. A new National Centre for Music will be created on Edinburgh's Calton Hill under plans to transform the former Royal High School building. (Image: Supplied) The Dunard Centre, which is expected to cost more than £115m to build, has secured £80m of private support, including £35m from Ms Grigor's charity, as well as £25m from the Scottish and UK governments, and the city council. The Wolfson Foundation plans to spend more than £200m across the UK over the next five years, across arts, science, health and heritage projects. The Dunard Centre concert hall will be created in the heart of Edinburgh's New Town. (Image: Supplied) The National Centre for Music project, which has been awarded an initial £500,000 from the foundation, will see three indoor performance spaces created inside the A-listed building. The grounds of the complex, which is due to open in 2027, will become home to the first public gardens in the city since the creation of Princes Street Gardens more than 200 years ago. The Dunard Centre project, which has been allocated an initial £100,000 by the foundation, will see a 1000-capacity concert hall built off St Andrew Square, next to the new St James Quarter complex, by 2029. The new venue, which is expected to showcase all forms of music, will become a new home for the Scottish Chamber Orchestra and will be used by the Edinburgh International Festival each August. A spokesperson for the National Centre for Music said: 'This grant will help protect and save the heritage of one of the most remarkable A listed buildings in Edinburgh. 'Our project will create a home for the National Centre for Music which will offer a range of ways for people who live, work and visit the city to come together to engage with the built and social heritage, and Scottish music heritage. 'The National Centre for Music is a newly created charity which will nurture and celebrate the richness of Scotland's music making – across all genres and all levels. It will become an iconic destination – where artists come to deepen their practice, make new work and connect with others, and where audiences come to expand their passions and have uplifting experiences. 'The former Royal High School will provide an inspiring setting in which to learn, make and share music. With a flexible main hall, a suite of practice rooms and a recording studio, it will provide significant new facilities for Scotland's musicians – from top professionals to those just starting their musical learning. 'The National Centre for Music will be a city centre venue for diverse musical communities, participants and audiences. A public engagement programme is being developed that will include creative learning, heritage interpretation, and community-led activity shaped by ongoing consultation. 'Particular attention is being given to reaching groups who are often underrepresented in culture and heritage, including young people, people living in local communities of socioeconomic deprivation, and people with additional support needs." A spokesperson for the Dunard Centre said: 'This generous funding will be instrumental in supporting our ambitious vision to create a new, world-class concert hall in the heart of Edinburgh, catering for 21st century audiences and artists. 'With a mission to create an inclusive, accessible hub, the venue will be 'a hall for all', offering opportunities for people of all ages and stages to learn, participate, create and engage with the arts, as well as opening up a new, free-to-access public space. 'This inaugural grant marks the first step in our relationship with the Wolfson Foundation. 'With a shared commitment to promoting and supporting excellence, we look forward to developing our relationship as plans for Edinburgh's first concert hall in 100 years progress.' Other projects being funded in Scotland include the Angus arts centre Hospitalfield, which has secured £150,000 for a restoration of its building and a new collections study centre. Earlier this year, Wolfson Foundation chief executive Paul Ramsbottom said the charity was aware of a 'crucial need' for capital infrastructure funding for projects across the UK. He said: 'There are few other similar sources of funding and yet organisations need to keep investing in their physical infrastructure. 'A majority of our funding in the next five years will therefore be allocated for infrastructure: refurbishment, equipment and new build.'

The world's best karaoke songs officially revealed by scientist – with surprise throwback topping list
AN Oxford university boffin has come up with a mathematical formula to determine the best endorphin-boosting karaoke songs of all-time. Dr Tom Crawford uses V for number of verses, C as repetition of chorus, Y for when the track was released, combined with BPM beats per minute to scientifically grade songs out of 100. 5 The ultimate karaoke songs of all time have been revealed 5 Dr Tom Crawford and his unique formula. His formula says that the 2,000 folk who took part in the Three Mobile survey prefer fast-paced songs with an average of 126 BPM and three repeated choruses for every two verses. Chief Features Writer MATT BENDORIS asks Dr Crawford to apply his calculations to some classic Scots karaoke favourites to see how our chart stars compare THE Proclaimers I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) almost walked away with being crowned kings of the karaoke charts, according to Dr Crawford's formula. It ticked all the right boxes with 132 Beats Per Minute - just over the perfect rate of 126 BPM - but was let down slightly by having four choruses instead of the ideal three. Instead Craig and Charlie Reid slipped to No5 in the overall rankings with Shania Twain, Oasis, Whitney Houston and the winner Bon Jovi all ahead of them. 5 Bon Jovi rocked their way to the top of the karaoke charts. 5 The Proclaimers 500 Miles is the best Scots karaoke song However had 'foot stomping' being part of the doc's unique formula, he is certain the twins from Leith would have come out on top. He said: 'What I really liked about some songs, especially 500 miles, is that it just makes you want to get up, stamp your feet and join in. 'It kind of has that euphoric, mood-lifting ability, so it's not just songs people like to sing, but how they make you feel.' Dr Crawford believes that was the whole point of the survey which has launched the 'Kathartic Karaoke' initiative as part of Three and the Samaritans' ongoing commitment to mental health support and wellbeing. A special karaoke booth will be erected from August 15 to 16 on The Mound at the Edinburgh Fringe to help festival goers boost their mood with music and singing. TOP 10 KARAOKE SONGS 1) Livin' On a Prayer – Bon Jovi (91%) 2) I Wanna Dance with Somebody – Whitney Houston (90%) 3) Don't Look Back in Anger – Oasis (89%) 4) Man! I Feel Like a Woman – Shania Twain (88%) 5) I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) – The Proclaimers (88%) 6) Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight) – ABBA (85%) 7) Unwritten – Natasha Bedingfield (84%) 8) Someone Like You – Adele (84%) 9) Wannabe – Spice Girls (84%) 10) Let Me Love You – Mario (83%) That's after Dr Crawford's research found that nine out of ten (90 per cent) people felt that singing gave them an emotional uplift, made them feel empowered (81 per cent) while 70 per cent found it cathartic. There is also evidence to suggest music can improve happiness and help sustain a healthy immune system, by reducing stress and boosting the production of endorphins and immunity antibodies – whilst singing can specifically improve breathing, posture and muscle tension. Dr Crawford, 35, who also has 225,000 subscribers on YouTube under the handle @TomRocksMaths, said: 'I've been trying to make maths fun for years now on YouTube and through my teaching at university and this is why I was so excited to be involved in this project. 'I think the whole idea of talking about karaoke and mood boosting and linking it back to mental health and working with the Samaritans is a fantastic thing, especially as young men in particular are pretty bad about discussing these topics. 'So talking more about mental health and using karaoke singing as a way to boost that and also bringing in the maths and the fun are things that I am passionate about.' During his study Dr Crawford discovered that age of a song was also a big defining factor where it finished in the karaoke charts too. TOP 10 SCOTTISH KARAOKE SONGS 1) 500 Miles - The Proclaimers (88%) 2) Why Does it Always Rain on Me - Travis (87%) 3) It's Got to be Perfect - Fairground Attraction (80%) 4) Someone You Loved - Lewis Capaldi (78%) 5) Dignity - Deacon Blue (77%) 6) Vienna - Ultravox (76%) 7) Maggie May - Rod Stewart (73%) 8) Caledonia - Dougie Maclean (65%) 9) Shout - Lulu (65%) 10) Leave a Light On - Tom Walker (61%) He explained: 'Older songs didn't do so well, with the 70s doing really badly, with the exception to the rule being ABBA who were the most popular individual artists. 'Adele did well, although many of her tracks were from the 2010s, which were actually a bit too modern for the best performing songs in this formula. 'Lewis Capaldi also scored well with Someone You Loved as he's a kind of Scottish Adele really, isn't he? 'But the best performing tracks were roughly from the 90s with Britpop, Oasis, Spice Girls, all that kind of thing.' And even being a terracing favourite was no guarantee of doing well under the doctor's figures. He said: 'Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline did quite badly, even though it's hugely popular with the likes of women's football fans right now. 'Similarly Caledonia is a favourite on the rugby terraces in Scotland but it didn't do well either.' However, Dr Crawford insists he also wanted to create a debate with the exercise. He says: 'People can look at our top 10 and think it's nonsense, as everyone has their own personal opinion. 'But this was all about trying to determine how a song makes you feel when singing it and even if you wouldn't score these tracks exactly as we have, you can also have a lot of fun discussing them and what songs you say lift your mood best. 'At the end of the day it's all part of the fun.'
