Liam Gallagher 'waiting for Edinburgh Council apology' in second Oasis mid-gig rant
Oasis have now wrapped up two of their three-night stint in Edinburgh as part of their world-famous reunion tour, with Liam Gallagher continuing his verbal tirade against Edinburgh City Council last night, August 9, echoing his previous Friday's outburst.
The row erupted following a leak in June that revealed Edinburgh Council had labelled Oasis fans as 'fat drunks'.
On Friday, August 8, Liam lashed out at the council, branding them 'f*****g s****', and he didn't hold back on repeating similar insults last night.
On Friday, the frontman ranted: "One second, where do I start here with everyone at the city council, the f*****g s***s. £1 billion pounds we're bringing to this city over the next three days. £1billion. But you won't see any of it."
Last night's performance saw Liam unleash another fiery diatribe, claiming they were contributing even more financially to Edinburgh.

Liam proclaimed: "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. And they've got the f*****g cheek to slag us lot off.", reports the Daily Record.
As the band kicked off their hit 'Bring It On Down', Liam added: "Still waiting for our apology... bring it on down!".
Back in June, council briefing notes highlighted concerns about space, noting that "middle-aged men take up more room, consider this when working out occupancy".
Another point raised was the worry about the boisterous nature of Oasis fans during weekends, exacerbated by the band's own reputation.
A document hinted at the likelihood of "medium to high intoxication" among concertgoers, with a significant turnout of older fans expected, though it noted that recent gigs featuring either Gallagher brother had seen "minimal arrests".
Oasis, known for their forthright attitude, didn't shy away from responding to these assumptions, with Liam famously retorting: "To the Edinburgh council I've heard what you said about Oasis fans and quite frankly your attitude f****** stinks. I'd leave town that day if I was any of you lot."

Ex-Celtic star spotted going wild as he does the huddle at Oasis Murrayfield gig with 70,000 fans
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) OASIS have partied with around 200,000 Scots over the past few days. And as they rounded off the Edinburgh leg of their tour with a third gig at Murrayfield Stadium, a former Celtic star was in the thick of the action as the crowd did their own version of 'the huddle'.

Credit: Instagram 3 He filmed the Oasis crowd's version of the huddle Credit: Instagram 3 He was among the near-70,000 who packed out the stadium Credit: Instagram The Manchester rockers enjoyed a Scots heatwave for their final concert in the capital, as fans basked in 26C temperatures. Frontman Liam Gallagher took another pop at the local council in the process, as those in the audience lapped it up. Ex-Celtic captain and manager Neil Lennon was one of the lucky ones to snap up a ticket for the last of the Scottish comeback gigs. He was pictured in sunglasses and a band t-shirt on his way to Murrayfield. And from inside the stadium itself, ex-Celt Simon Donnelly shared some footage of the crowd doing 'the huddle'. Made popular by another Celt in Tony Mowbray, the ritual is now a famous part of Hoops folklore, where the players gather on the pitch just before kick-off to listen to a passionate speech led by the captain at the time. At Murrayfield things looked a little different but Donnelly had his camera out for the moment fans linked arms and began to jump in time with the music, as the band kicked into one of their biggest crowd-pleasers, Cigarettes & Alcohol. Donnelly, wearing a bucket hat and large glasses that he joked made him look like snooker legend Dennis Taylor, filmed the dancing antics from his spot in the stands, with the standing section below him. He posted the video on his Instagram account and captioned it: "It's no easy filming the huddle, Dennis Taylor sorted it". Around 70,000 fans packed out Murrayfield for the iconic group's third and final gig at the venue. FOUR new Celtic signings could be on the way but 'waiting game' could risk it all Lead singer Liam took umbrage with city councillors for labelling Oasis fans 'drunk', 'lairy', 'fat' and 'old' in secret safety briefings. At their opening gig on Friday he branded officials "f****** slags." He called them out again last night, saying: "£3billion we've brought into this city over the past five days. And that's between you and us. Three billion f****** quid. "You won't see f*** all, because they'll rob it and spread it among their posh ugly mates. "Still waiting for our apology, bring it on down, you c****". Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
