Thousands of Oasis fans queue ahead of Gallagher brothers' final Murrayfield show
Thousands of Oasis fans have queued up to Murrayfield in anticipation for Gallagher brothers' final show in Edinburgh.
Oasis' Supersonic run of shows at the home of Scottish rugby will come to a close tonight with their third show in the capital after the Mancunian rockers played their first show together in Scotland in 16 years on Friday and Saturday.
Over 200,000 fans will have attended the sold-out shows once tonight's performance ends and eager oasis-lovers have already began queuing to get the best spot possible before the doors open at 5pm. Around 67,000 more Oasis fans are set to pack the venue tonight.
Those queuing have been pictured decked out in Oasis memorabilia from bucket hats, which are being sold from vendors outside the stadium, to football shirts branded with the band's logo.
Excited fans who have travelled from across the world, including as far as South Korea, spoke to the Record earlier as they waited in line for the"biblical" gig.
Civil servant Meeho Lee, 33, and data analyst Ra Young, 31, came from Seoul to witness their favourite band play in Edinburgh.
Meeho said: 'I was a huge fan of Oasis since I was a high school student. After I heard they were reuniting, my friend and I got tickets to come here.
'It was a lot of preparation with plane tickets and hotels. It was expensive but it's been worth it.
'Edinburgh is a very attractive city and the beer is delicious.'
Support act Richard Ashcroft is set to take the stage at 7pm followed by the main event at 8.15pm. A curfew for fans exiting Murrayfield has been set at 10.30pm.
Fans took to social media to share their memories of the experience after Saturday's show, hailing it "biblical" and "truly magical".
ScotRail has confirmed that they are laying on extra late-night services and more seats to get music-lovers to and from the gig "in comfort".
Late-night trains will operate to key destinations such as Glasgow Queen Street, Dundee, Perth, and Dunblane following the show.
Although, with the Oasis gig clashing with the Festival Fringe, public transport in the city has been significantly busier.
ScotRail is advising fans to make their way promptly to Haymarket station after the show, where a designated holding area is in place on Haymarket Terrace to manage crowds safely and efficiently.
ScotRail said: "We're encouraging everyone to plan their journey in advance, make the most of the extra services, and soak up the atmosphere of a great night in the capital."

Prolific tout allowed to flog 300 tickets on StubHub for Lewis Capaldi's sold out return show
The ticket seller has been punting briefs for some of the biggest events of the past year TOUT OF ORDER Prolific tout allowed to flog 300 tickets on StubHub for Lewis Capaldi's sold out return show Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SERIAL ticket tout was allowed to flog hundreds of tickets for Lewis Capaldi's sold out shows. The Scottish singing sensation, 28, is set to perform a host of comeback arena tour. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Ticket touts are targeting Lewis Capaldi's comeback shows Credit: Alamy 3 A prolific ticket tout was able to punt tickets on StubHub Credit: Alamy He will be touring around the UK as he makes his sensational return to the music scene. But shameless ticket touts are out to take advantage of fans desperate to see their favourite stars by trying to sell them tickets at inflated prices. One prolific tout was able to target the Someone You Loved singer's events on resale sites StubHub, reports The Guardian. A seller called TG Cyprus Event Services Ltd (TGCES) was flogging 306 tickets for his opening show in Sheffield on September 6 for up to £248 - more than triple the amount punters would pay from event organisers. The ticket seller has been punting briefs for some of the biggest events of the past year. They were advertising over 1,500 tickets for the epic Oasis reunion tour and seats at the Wimbledon final for a whopping £41,900-a-pop. Lisa Webb, a law expert at the consumer group Which?, blasted the reseller and called for ministers to take action against touts. She told the paper: 'This is yet another example of a broken ticketing industry that desperately needs fixing. 'Which? is calling on ministers to urgently put a stop to the touts and introduce a price cap to ensure that tickets can only be resold on secondary sites at the original price paid. 'Resale platforms must also be forced to verify that the seller owns a ticket before it can be listed on their site.' 'So many crying kids' as Scots Sabrina Carpenter fans refused entry to Hydro in 'fake' ticket chaos We told how Sir Keir Starmer has pledged to slap a 10 per cent cap on resale prices. A spokesperson for StubHub said: 'We enforce strict measures to protect consumers. 'Any ticket listings found not to be compliant with our requirements are removed.' The official ticket retailer for Capaldi's shows, Ticketmaster, also backed action against ticket touts. A spokesperson said: 'Ticketmaster has capped resale prices at face value since 2018. We fully support the government's plans for an industry-wide cap that would remove the incentive for touts to exploit fans and prevent them from paying inflated prices on unauthorised sites. 'We also urge the government to take further action by cracking down on bots and banning speculative ticket sales.'

Liam Gallagher gets booed after injury results in Oasis tour moment being banned
Liam Gallagher usually encourages his die-hard fans to 'shake along with me', but from now on they won't be doing it with his maracas or his tambourine. The Oasis frontman was booed after revealing he's been banned from throwing his instruments into the crowd after just 12 shows on the Live '25 tour. A standout moment has been the younger Gallagher, 52, sharing his cherished maracas and tambourines with the crowd at every concert. The gesture has been sending fans wild as they scramble to get their hands on the flying instruments to take home as a souvenir. Unfortunately, this display has now come to an end due to safety concerns after a fan who caught them at Wembley was hurt by men who mobbed her. Chantal Arpino, 42, from Buckinghamshire, was at the final London show on August 3, standing around 11 rows back after paying around £1,000 for tickets for herself and partner Matt Marchant, 47. The mortgage advisor sustained multiple cuts to her hands and bruising on her legs, where the two men attempted to wrestle the maracas from her grasp, according to the Daily Mail. On Tuesday, the Edinburgh crowd booed as Liam said he had been told he couldn't throw the instruments because fans 'don't know how to behave themselves.' 'I can't throw my tambourine out tonight or my maracas I've been told not to. I'm not being tight or anything like that, do you know what I mean,' he said, before singing Champagne Supernova. He added: 'I've just been told don't do any of that shit anymore because you don't know how to behave yourselves. You keep pinching each other on your nipples and ears and f*****g s**t like that and kneeing each other in the b*****s. I've been told now.' Some of the tambourines and maracas have been listed for sale on social media, with one pair posted and then swiftly deleted on Facebook, but it is not known if these were the maracas taken from Chantal. As per the Daily Mail, the maracas she caught were 'tied together' but her hands ended up 'trapped between them' so she couldn't let go, with her nails digging into the other hand. Chantal said: 'The one [man] to my left was quite big, he's kind of over me, he's got his hand over my hand and he's squeezing. The other one he's literally trying to prise my fingers off.' She claimed she told him he could snap her fingers in the 'really painful' and 'horrible' interaction but the man would not let go. 'The strength they used was unreal, I've never experienced anything like it,' the injured fan continued. 'I don't even know where the bruise on my leg came from. 'I think the guy to my left must have been kneeling on me. It would have been a lovely memento, but the behaviour. It's not even about being a girl. Why behave like that?' On Facebook, she added: 'Just a little reminder to not behave like animals please.' Chantal wasn't the only one criticising Oasis fans' behaviour as Liam used the final show in Scotland to encourage Edinburgh Council bosses to apologise for comments about the gigs. It was revealed that they had referred to Oasis' fans as 'fat, drunk, and rowdy' with the Supersonic hitmaker hitting back at the executives. He branded them 'f*****g s**gs' and claimed the group would bring billions to the economy of Scotland. Despite Liam's repeated pleas, Edinburgh Council has refused to bow down. The Oasis tour moves across the water next to a two-day extravaganza at Croke Park in Dublin, the fifth stop on the Gallagher brothers' reunion tour. Such is the demand for tickets to these sought-after gigs, fans are hoping for even more gigs next year with many citing a return to Knebworth as high on their list. The band played two nights at the iconic music venue in 1996, where 2-and-a-half million people applied for tickets to watch Oasis perform alongside some of the UK's best-loved acts like The Charlatans, The Prodigy and more. Fast forward to 2025, and it has been reported that the Oasis effect still reigns supreme, with over 14 million people attempting to apply for 1.4 million tickets across the Oasis Live '25 tour. More Trending However, it's not just the band who are breaking records; Oasis fans have set a new stadium record by guzzling more than a quarter of a million pints of beer per night during the band's current run of shows. To put this into perspective, the fans have doubled Coldplay's numbers and surpassed Swifties by more than six times! There's no doubt that the sold-out crowd are in for a treat (with or without a pint or three!), but for fans hoping to get their hands on Liam's tambourine and maracas will have to settle for watching the Shaker Maker star play his instruments on stage instead.
