Scottish Oasis fans say goodbye to Rock 'n' Roll stars after epic Murrayfield gigs
Oasis have finished their three-gig run in Edinburgh's Murrayfield in what some might say were "biblical" and "truly magical" shows. Oasis fans in Scotland have said goodbye to Rock 'n' Roll stars Liam and Noel Gallagher after an epic three-day spectacular at Murrayfield. Tonight's show in Edinburgh marked the end of Oasis' Supersonic run in the capital after last playing in Scotland 16 years ago. More than 200,000 fans attended the sold-out shows across the three nights, with around 67,000 people packing out the venue this evening in what some might say was a "biblical" and "truly magical" gig. Support acts, Britpop act Cast from Liverpool and rocker Richard Ashcroft, dazzled fans with their individual repertoires, which included hits like Walkaway and Bitter Sweet Symphony, before the Mancunian brothers took to the stage like a champagne supernova 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. It was no wonder that fans who had travelled from across the world, including as far as Japan, Mexico, South Korea and Columbia, greeted the band with a Wonderwall of noise, excitement and appreciation that helped blow the roof off the stadium. Excited fans from near and far spoke to the Record earlier today as they queued up for one of Edinburgh's most coveted ever shows. 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.' Closer to home, Pharmaceuticals worker Grant Taylor, 43, from Irvine, arrived with his son Evan, 10. Evan said: 'I'm buzzing. I started listening to Oasis when I was seven and we got tickets last year. It will be mental. I am looking forward to Cigarettes & Alcohol and Live Forever.' Grant added: 'I saw them at Hampden in 2005. We stood on the hills when they played Irvine Beach and tried to hear it but it was lashing down. We got tickets for this in the pre-sale before everybody else was struggling with Ticketmaster's site crashing. I'm looking forward to Cast, Richard Ashcroft and Oasis and will be reliving my youth. This will blow us away.' The gig saw several iconic moments, including the pair blasting Edinburgh council for generalising about their fans, and Noel's influencer daughter sporting a Celtic FC tracksuit in the crowd. Alongside that, two men who scarily resembled the Gallagher brothers turned countless heads outside the venue on Saturday. The Liam and Noel knock-offs, named Glen and Max, were promoting BAFTA award winning provocateur Alison Jackson's Fringe show, Faking Famous: You Can Be a Celebrity Too, where she invites audience members on stage and turns them into uncanny lookalikes of A-list celebs. The reunion show was even more special for one diehard Oasis fan - Shell Hodge - after she was proposed to during her favourite song 'Slide Away' by her partner of six years, Dwayne Yuill. Thrilled Shell, 40, said: 'I was singing along and the next thing Dwayne's on one knee holding out a ring. Dwayne really took me by surprise but his timing couldn't have been better. It was just perfect.' Their last concert in Scotland before reuniting had been in June 2009. Hundreds of locals also gathered to hear the muted strains of the show in nearby parks and residential areas up to a mile away. Despite hugging each other onstage, Noel and Liam chose to stay in separate hotels during their stay in Scotland with Liam bringing his family to the Gleneagles Hotel. Noel was joined by his daughter Anais at the capital's Caledonian hotel. 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.
