Liam Gallagher branded Edinburgh Council 'f****** slags'
Why have the Gallagher brothers criticised Edinburgh Council?
Oasis' feud with Edinburgh Council began when officials branded the band's fans as "fat, drunk, and rowdy" back in June.
The officials claimed Oasis fans were "middle aged men" who "take up more room", and expressed concern for performers at the Edinburgh Fringe taking place at the same time as the band's August shows.
On his band's first night in Murrayfield, Liam hit back, calling the Council "f****** slags".
He also took a swipe at the Fringe: "People juggling f*****g bollocks and that? Swallowing swords ...one-legged bicycles. What's all that s*t about? S****y card tricks".
The second night included more sweary comments before the band performed 1994 hit Bring It On Down. Liam told the crowd: "Two billion pounds we'll have brought into this city over the next few days - two f*****g billion - and you'll see none of it."
These comments followed superfan David Walker of the Oasis Collectors Group condemning the Council's "jaundiced view" of Oasis' fanbase.
When can I next see Oasis play in the UK and Ireland?
Oasis will play one more sold out show at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium, on August 12.
After that, they'll head to Dublin on 16 and 17 August, before returning to Wembley for two more shows, on 27 and 28 September.
Every UK and Ireland show on the tour is currently sold out on Ticketmaster.
The tour heads to the US and Canada in late August, and finishes with an autum leg Asia, Australia, and Latin America.

Of course, music reviewers will take a view, while classical music fans may politely decline to offer one. It's all subjective. But what if there was a truly objective way to test how well it went? As it happens, there is. Step forward the British Geological Survey. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad While not quite causing an earthquake, fans jumping and dancing in time to the music can create a signal big enough for their seismometers to detect. According to the data, Tuesday's crowd was the most energetic in 20 years, beating Friday and Saturday's performances, and the Oasis gig in 2009. Taylor Swift's concert last year, Kings of Leon in 2011 and the Red Hot Chili Peppers in 2004 were also surpassed. Oasis fans were so energetic that they made the earth move (Picture: Jeff J Mitchell) | Getty Images We even now know which Oasis song 'moved' people the most. 'The peak power reading on each night was registered around 8.40pm whilst the crowd was dancing to Cigarettes And Alcohol,' the BGS said.

Thirsty Mr Bonehead goes to Oxford, but where's Rebus?
Oasis aficionados will be aware that Liam and Noel are not the only members of the band; there's another bloke who goes by the colourful moniker 'Bonehead'. With such a name, you would assume he isn't an especially erudite fellow, though you'd be wrong. For while in Edinburgh, Mr. Bonehead popped into that most literary of saloons, the Oxford Bar, home-from-home of crime scribe Ian Rankin. Alas, Rankin wasn't there to greet him. The Inspector Rebus creator says: 'So by all accounts if I'd spent my free afternoon at the Oxford Bar, rather than the flicks, I'd probably have bumped into a thirsty Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs. Nice that he found my oasis though…' Hard to swallow Oasis may have skipped Glasgow, but Spiderman has been all over the joint, like acne on a teen forehead. It's almost impossible to dodge the New York superhero, who's been filming his next blockbuster in the city. Andy Cornfield was in a newsagents near Central Station and asked the salesperson if Spidey had been in. 'Oh aye,' replied the till jockey. 'He bought a macaroon.' 'You're kidding me on,' said Andy. 'How d'you guess?' asked the newsagent. 'Well,' said Andy, 'Spidey needs to squeeze into his snug spider-suit every morning. That'll never happen if he stuffs his face with macaroon.' Wheely frustrating Because the arachnid fellow has been filming in Glasgow, the traffic was all snarled up. Linda Mumford and her husband attempted to reach the city centre by car, which proved a frustratingly ponderous pursuit. Grimacing behind the steering wheel, Linda's hubby snarled: 'This traffic jam is slower than evolution.' Nappy noise machine Grumpy hubbies, continued. Jenny McLeod was on a bus with her chap when a nearby baby started yawling. 'That's the problem with babies,' winced hubby, 'they're just bagpipes in nappies.' Not awash with dosh Financially flummoxed Don Murphy says: 'I don't understand why the bank is upset I can't repay my loan. Surely they guessed I had no cash when I asked to borrow some…' Pop your clogs A morbid though amusing thought from Steve Munro: 'Before I die I'll eat an entire pack of un-popped popcorn. Should make the cremation a bit more interesting…'

Alex James' Big Feastival set to revive Britpop classics
Thirty years after the famous Oasis-Blur chart battle at the height of the Britpop era, Blur bassist Alex James is preparing to relive the summer of 1995 at his annual Big Feastival, which combines live music with food attractions, is due to take place at James' Cotswolds farm near Kingham, Oxfordshire, from 22 to 24 musician and cheesemaker will lead a Britpop classical set, with a live band alongside a full orchestra, on the Sunday James said staging the festival over the past 14 years has been "exhilarating". This summer marks three decades since 90s music heavyweights Blur and Oasis went head to head for number one with Country House and Roll with It respectively. James is promising the music of Blur, Oasis, Pulp, Supergrass, Travis and other Britpop bands will get the "full orchestra treatment" as a climax to this year's Oasis on their reunion tour, the classical Britpop set, with contributions from members of Reef and Travis, is aptly timed."It's going to be a kind of gang show. Those songs lend themselves really well to orchestration and a lot of them have brass sections and string sections - so that's going to be a hoot."Speaking a week before the farm gates open for this year's event, James has reflected on how going from a festival performer to an organiser during the past 14 years has been a "white-knuckle ride"."But I really have never enjoyed anything so much - its been exhilarating," he added."The whole family, absolutely, working our socks off all year round to bring this kind of crazy thing to life. "So the feeling when everybody's here, arms in the air, singing along, crying their eyes out - it's all worthwhile."It is a busy summer in the Cotswolds. The celebrities arriving for Big Feastival, come after the usually quiet village of Charbury was the holiday destination of US vice president JS chat show host Ellen DeGeneres, also moved to the area - saying she fled to Oxfordshire countryside to escape President Donald Trump."It's like, who's gonna, who's gonna pitch up next? I mean, there's cavalcades and choppers in gridlock over Chipping Norton this week," James reflects. James and his wife Claire bought the 200-acre farm 22 years ago while on their described it as "the last wreck in the neighbourhood" adding "the farm did really needed a lot of investment and love".Along with his neighbour Jeremy Clarkson's Diddly Squat Farm, James has played a part in putting the area's farming community on the map."I think people now are really interested in food and and farming."I don't think there's anywhere as pretty in the world. The minute I arrived here I didn't really want to leave. We've made it our home and I'm very proud to be part of a wonderful community."It's incredible this part of the world is now a kind of global centre of food excellence."Also on the bill for this year's Big Feastival are I'm like a Bird singer Furtado who will headline the event on Friday, with Faithless, known for dance classics Insomnia and God Is A DJ, taking the top slot on The Wombats and Sophie Ellis-Bextor will also feature as special guests.
