Oasis superfans spend £10k to see heroes in Edinburgh after flying from New York

"As soon as they announced they were coming back, I knew there was no way I was going to miss it." A pair of Oasis superfans have spent around £10,000 to travel across the Atlantic and fulfil a 30-year dream. ‌ Andrew Wadhams, 39, and Alicia Diaz, 41, have flown from New York to see the Gallagher brothers in Edinburgh on Friday, August 8 for their first concert in the capital since 2009. ‌ The couple have poured thousands into making Andrew's dream of seeing the Britpop group live in the UK come true, after first becoming a fan of their music in 1995. ‌ Andrew said: "As soon as they announced they were coming back, I knew there was no way I was going to miss it. I had to get up at two in the morning to get tickets. "Tickets were about £400, the hotel was £2000, flights were around £1500. We're going to make a week of it, so after this we're going to London for the first time. Altogether it's cost around £10,000. "I've loved Oasis since the fifth grade, in about 1995. I spent so many nights at home watching all their videos. To see Oasis in the UK has been a dream of mine. ‌ "I was able to see them on their last US tour, but that was when Liam's voice was just not that great, so the fact that they're back now is amazing."
