Murrayfield capacity, seating plan, and food & drink options ahead of Oasis gigs
Up to 200,000 fans will descend on Murrayfield Stadium on August 8, 9, and 12 to hear classics like 'Wonderwall' and 'Live Forever'. The Oasis reunion tour is officially underway and it will not be long until they hitch up in the Scottish capital. Up to 200,000 fans will be entertained by the Britpop icons across three nights, which are sure to be jam-packed with classics and much-loved hits. Liam and Noel Gallagher have put their differences aside to reunite after 16 years and the first few legs of the tour have already been played, including two nights at Wembley Stadium, which the Record reviewed here. On August 8, 9, and 12, hundreds of thousands of music fans will descend on Murrayfield Stadium to hear tunes like 'Wonderwall' and 'Live Forever'. But what food and drink options are in store? And how many people does Murrayfield hold? Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium has a seated capacity of 67,144 which is the largest in Scotland. This means that across Oasis' three sold-out shows in Edinburgh, more than a whopping 200,000 people will be in attendance. The venue is the home of Scottish rugby but when major artists are in town, it transforms into a major musical spectacle. Kendrick Lamar and SZA are the most recent talents to have lit up the Murrayfield stage. Wondering where you can grab a bite to eat and get a few drinks in before the night kicks off? Murrayfield has an extensive list of food and beverage options dotted throughout the grounds. If you're a spirit lover, head to the Edinburgh Gin Bar and take your pick from a range of flavoured and standard gins. If a good old fashioned pint is more up your street, there are various bars, and a Guinness Bar for your enjoyment. If prosecco is your tipple, there is also a bar to accommodate that. Food-wise, there are so many cuisines to choose from, from Japanese to Greek and from Italian to Indian. There is no doubt about it - you'll be fed and watered. The venue even caters to specific dietary requirements and allergens, with meat-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, halal and vegan options. There is also gluten-free lager and non-alcoholic lager available from all bar locations. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

‘I couldn't risk coming clean and telling her': IRA bomber shares how he told partner the truth of his guilty in new book
Psychologists say the BBC reality show Traitors is compelling to audiences worldwide because it taps into universal themes of trust, deception and the human psyche. But during the Troubles, these themes were a reality for many couples, family members and friends turned against each other in a backdrop that had none of the opulence of a luxurious Scottish castle, nor the promise of a sizeable cash prize if the deception paid off.

BBC weather star Carol Kirkwood's heartache over dream she can't fulfil
EXCLUSIVE: BBC Breakfast's Carol Kirkwood, 62, has opened up about the heartbreaking reason she was forced to give up her dream as she admits it was a 'source of heartbreak' BBC Breakfast favourite Carol Kirkwood has long been a familiar face on our screens, brightening up our mornings with her warm smile and reliable forecasts. But behind the sunshine exterior, the 62-year-old weather presenter has quietly weathered storms of her own – including the heartbreak of a dream she's had to let go. In an exclusive interview with OK!, Carol opened up about the emotional pain of not having children – something she once deeply hoped for. 'I always wanted to have children. That was my dream,' she admits. It comes after Sharon Osbourne breaks down in tears at Ozzy's funeral in heartbreaking scenes. The star, known for her chirpy demeanour and professional poise, reveals that she even looked into fertility treatment before the costs became overwhelming. "It was a source of heartbreak, but we tried and failed.' The Scottish-born presenter, who grew up in a big family as one of eight siblings, has channelled her love into being an incredibly devoted auntie. 'I love them all incredibly,' she beams, referring to her 15 nieces and nephews, as well as several godchildren. Despite that particular chapter never being written, Carol has found happiness in other areas of her life – both personally and professionally. After her 2008 divorce from ex-husband Jimmy Kirkwood, a former field hockey player, Carol focused on her career and rebuilt her life with grace. She spent years quietly keeping her love life under wraps, but in 2022 delighted fans when she announced her engagement to long-term partner Steve Randall, a former police officer turned businessman. The pair now live in the Buckinghamshire countryside and recently tied the knot in a private ceremony, with Carol sharing glimpses of the joy on social media. Professionally, Carol has enjoyed an impressive run at the BBC, having joined the broadcaster in the late 1990s. She became a regular on BBC Breakfast and quickly established herself as the nation's go-to weather expert. Her warmth, expertise, and genuine connection with viewers made her a beloved household name. In addition to her work, Carol wowed audiences with her appearance on Strictly Come Dancing in 2015, partnering with professional dancer Pasha Kovalev and charming viewers with her grace and humour. More recently, she's turned her hand to writing, publishing several romance novels that have earned glowing reviews and flown off shelves. Surviving heartbreak, she says, has made her a better writer – and person. "You know how it feels when somebody doesn't love you any more and moves on, in the same way that you've probably done to somebody else, when you've been honest and said, 'I think you're great, but romantically, it's not going anywhere,'' she says. 'When you're heartbroken, you cry a lot, you feel sorry for yourself and you think, perhaps, you're going to spend the rest of your life on your own, and then you don't. You come out of that. You grow.' Now, she hopes that her own happy ending is giving hope to other women who find themselves suddenly navigating midlife solo. 'When I got divorced, I did date other people, then somebody said to me, 'You need to find yourself' and I was thinking, 'What? I know myself. I know who I am.' But I went for a period without dating people, because I was just happy going out with my friends. Yet for all her achievements, it's clear that the absence of children remains a tender spot in an otherwise full life. Ever dignified, Carol has made peace with it.
