Oasis Murrayfield gigs set major new record as experts reveal which night topped the lot
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) OASIS set an incredible new record with ground-shaking performances during their comeback shows at Murrayfield. Brothers Noel and Liam Gallagher attracted more than 200,000 fans to the Edinburgh stadium over three nights this month. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Oasis set an incredible new record during their three Murrayfield gigs Credit: Big Brother Recording 4 Over 200,000 fans descended on the capital over three nights this month Credit: Michael Schofield 4 The duo topped the list for the most powerful seismic concert at Murrayfield Last night, they brought the curtain down on their Scottish comeback gigs. And it has since been revealed that the Britpop icons managed to set a new record - which they already held from during their last performance in Scotland. We previously told how the gig at Murrayfield 16 years ago had topped the chart for the most powerful seismic concert at the venue in the last 20 years with 215.06KW. The June 2009 Oasis gig beat the Red Hot Chili Peppers in June 2004, Kings of Leon in June 2011 and Taylor Swift in June last year. But the Gallagher brothers managed to top the list again and registered a peak power of 261KW during their three-concert run in Edinburgh. The peak power reading on each night was registered at around 8.40pm as the crowd danced to Cigarettes and Alcohol. The final concert on Tuesday generated the highest peak power reading followed by Friday at 206 KW and Saturday at 160 KW. BSG said: "Oasis registered a peak power of 261KW during their three-concert run in Edinburgh, beating their 2009 concert in the same venue. "The peak power reading on each night was registered around 8.40pm whilst the crowd was dancing to Cigarettes And Alcohol. "The energy detected by the seismic monitoring stations is driven by the movement of the crowd jumping and dancing in time to the music, rather than the volume of the concert, with bigger, more energetic crowds generating larger signal." Oasis fans gear up for final Scots gig as band take to Murrayfield stage The BGS keeps an archive of continuous ground motion recordings from seismic sensors around the country, dating back several decades. The organisation is the national body responsible for recording earthquakes, operating a network of monitoring stations around the country. During the last gig, Liam Gallagher took a THIRD brutal swipe at Edinburgh Council officials. The legendary rocker, 52, was left furious at council chiefs after they branded Oasis fans 'drunk', 'lairy', 'fat' and 'old' in secret safety briefings. Officials claimed that the concert-goers would be mainly 'rowdy' 'middle-aged men' who 'take up more room' and will drink to 'medium to high intoxication'. Liam has called out snooty Edinburgh council officials over their remarks on several occasions.

Plans to relaunch Rosyth-Europe ferry sail a little closer
However, as previously reported by the Dunfermline Press, one of the sticking points has been the use of a Border Control Post (BCP). It is hoped the one at Grangemouth can be used as a new one at Rosyth is considered to be prohibitively costly and unnecessary. Dunfermline MP Graeme Downie has this week said that a solution appears to have been found which could allow things to progress. He said the recent agreement between the UK Government and the EU will mean no BCP will be required at all in the future, however an interim solution is required that would allow the temporary use of BCP Grangemouth if the Rosyth-Dunkirk schedule is to start in Spring 2026. READ MORE: The use of remote BCPs has been authorised in England with sanitary and phytosanitary goods arriving at the Port of Dover for checks being directed to the Sevington BCP, over 20 miles away. The Secretary of State for Scotland, Ian Murray, has now written to the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs along with the First Ministers of Scotland and Wales outlining how a ferry service between Rosyth and Dunkirk could proceed without a specific Border Control Point at Rosyth. In his letter to Steve Reed, Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, he said: 'I would like to propose that we urgently seek to agree that an amendment to the BTOM is made, as a transitional measure to allow the use of remote BCPs, within a short radius of the port of arrival." While it is the Scottish Government who must amend the regulation to allow the use of a remote BCP at Grangemouth, this can only be exercised with a cross-GB consensus which Mr Downie is now working with the Scotland Office to secure. 'A regular passenger and freight ferry service from Rosyth to Dunkirk would be an incredible boon for the Dunfermline and Scottish economy, making trade easier as well as making it simpler for people from Europe to visit the Kingdom of Fife," he said. 'These matters can be complex but we have taken a huge stride towards making this ferry service a reality. 'I want to thank the Secretary of State for Scotland and his officials for their work and assistance in finding a way to ensure a BCP is not required at Rosyth. Their efforts make it more likely a passenger and freight ferry to Dunkirk could begin as soon as next year. 'We are not quite there yet and, in particular, a small amount of infrastructure is needed at the Port of Rosyth. "However, as the ferry is one of the projects in the strategy of the Forth Green Freeport I am hopeful we can overcome this problem as well. 'I have spoken to both Forth Ports and the Green Freeport about this issue in the past and hope to meet with them very soon to discuss how speedy progress could be made in time for the ferry to begin next year.' Superfast Ferries first launched a ferry service from Rosyth in 2002 and it was later taken over by Norfolkline. It stopped carrying passengers in 2010, when it became freight-only, and DFDS became the third operator of the route. They reached the end of the line shortly after a fire on board the Finlandia Seaways ship in April 2018. In January last year, the proposals to re-start the service – it had been hoped they could have started in May this year – were put on hold after ferry operator DFDS stated that date was "no longer feasible" and "no further progress can be made" due to a lack of financial support.

Oasis Murrayfield gig more ground-shaking than 2009 show
The Gallagher brothers's last Scottish gig 16 years ago had topped the chart for the most powerful seismic concert at the venue in the last 20 years, the British Geological Survey (BGS) said. But their shows at the stadium on August 8, 9 and 12 proved even more ground-shaking, particularly while the crowd danced to the song Cigarettes And Alcohol. The crowd on Tuesday generated the highest peak power reading of 261KW, followed by Friday (206KW) and Saturday (160KW). READ MORE: Calls for White House to pay policing bill for JD Vance's Scotland holiday BSG said: 'The peak power reading on each night was registered around 8.40pm whilst the crowd was dancing to Cigarettes And Alcohol. 'The energy detected by the seismic monitoring stations is driven by the movement of the crowd jumping and dancing in time to the music, rather than the volume of the concert, with bigger, more energetic crowds generating larger signal.' (Image: Jordan Pettitt / PA) The band played three sold-out shows at Murrayfield, with an estimated 70,000 people packed in to hear them each night. The peak power recorded at the Oasis gig in June 2009 was 215.06KW, beating the Red Hot Chili Peppers in June 2004, Kings of Leon in June 2011 and Taylor Swift in June last year. The BGS keeps an archive of continuous ground motion recordings from seismic sensors around the country, dating back several decades.
