Fans head to Murrayfield as Oasis play in Scotland for first time in 16 years
The Mancunian rockers will return to Scotland for the first time in 16 years for three sold-out shows - held on Friday, Saturday and Tuesday.
While their exact set-list has not been revealed as yet, on previous dates the band, who play two nights in Croke Park next weekend, has performed classics such as Wonderwall, which propelled the rockers into stardom, as well as Morning Glory, Talk Tonight, and Don't Look Back in Anger.
ScotRail has announced a number of extra services operating to and from Edinburgh to cater for the vast number of fans travelling to the concert.
The railway operator also says it is increasing capacity on its services, ensuring no-one is stuck for transportation before and after the show.
In a short message posted on X ahead of the concert, the band, led by Gallagher brothers Liam and Noel, said: "Edinburgh. Are you ready?"
The post gained more than 10,000 likes and legions of fans responded in turn, stating they cannot wait see them perform at the stadium.
The band has recently performed in a number of cities including Cardiff and London.
The group will next head to Ireland, before moving on to Canada, the US, South Korea, Japan, Australia, and South America.

Noel Gallagher's daughter shows her footballing loyalty at Oasis gig
Oasis have officially arrived in Scotland, delivering their first of three completely sold-out shows in Edinburgh on Friday night as part of their eagerly awaited Live '25 reunion tour. But as the Gallagher brothers took to the stage at Murrayfield Stadium, Noel Gallagher's daughter was spotted in the crowd displaying her loyalty to one Scottish football club – Glasgow's Celtic FC. Anais Gallagher, 25, has been spotted at several of her father's gigs throughout the tour, including the opening shows in Cardiff and the previous week's remarkable five-night run at London's legendary Wembley Stadium. However, Friday night's show in Edinburgh marks the first time Anais has been seen sporting Celtic's iconic colours, as she shared a snap to her Instagram story showing herself wearing a green Adidas tracksuit top bearing the football club's crest. Several Oasis fans shared the photograph across social media afterwards, with numerous people praising her for publicly showing her support for the club. Noel and Liam Gallagher's mother, Peggy Gallagher, is a passionate Celtic supporter, and it seems that passion has been passed down to her grandchildren as well, reports the Daily Record. One fan who shared the image of Anais on X wrote: "Oasis star @NoelGallagher's daughter Anais representing the @CelticFC colours at Murrayfield last night. "Noel and Liam's mum Peggy is famously a massive Celtic fan, with both brothers regularly showing their support for the Hoops throughout the years." Another fan chimed in: "Anais rocking the Celtic trackie at the Oasis gig." And a third ecstatic supporter exclaimed: "ANAIS WEARING CELTIC YESSS." Meanwhile, Anais recently expressed her frustration with Oasis fans inundating her with requests for help in securing tickets for the eagerly anticipated reunion gigs. Every single date of the UK and Ireland tour was snapped up within minutes back in August last year, leading the band to announce two additional Wembley Stadium dates - which also disappeared in record time. However, the scarcity of available tickets hasn't stopped some desperate fans from trying every possible avenue to get one, including badgering Anais for help. She disclosed in a TikTok video: "What is it about some Oasis fans? DM-ing me like I am f***ing Ticketmaster or Shopify or something. "People are messaging me like, 'I'm having trouble transferring my ticket to somebody - this is my Ticketmaster code'. What the f*** do I know about Ticketmaster?" Anais has even been approached by people seeking advice on Oasis merchandise, including queries about t-shirts that are unavailable in certain sizes and where she would recommend buying one instead. She added: "How am I meant to know what shops are stocking your size?". "I don't know, I wish I could help you but I am kind of baffled that when people have an issue they think, 'Do you know what, let me DM Anais, she's going to know how I can transfer my ticket'. Guys ... I can't!".

Wembley Stadium investigating alleged ticket scam at Oasis gig
Wembley Stadium authorities said they are investigating allegations that hundreds of Oasis fans were able to sneak into a gig at the venue without a ticket. The Mancunian rockers recently played a series of dates at the London venue as part of their Live 25 tour. According to The Sun newspaper, up to 200 people were asked for £350 (€404) each to be sneaked into one of the gigs via a disabled entrance. Two concertgoers told the paper a large group was able to use a copy of the same ticket to get into the stadium, where they were then handed wristbands giving them access to the VIP area at the front of the stage. They said two women who allegedly orchestrated the scam told them they had "ten groups of 20" waiting. One of the concertgoers told The Sun: "We were given our tickets, which were all the same, and a woman drew a shape on our hands. "We were told to go to the disabled door at entrance M, even though our tickets said entrance F. "We showed our stamped hands to the person on the door, they scanned the tickets, even though we all had the same one, and let us in. "Another member of staff then handed us a golden circle wristband and that was it. There were zero security searches. We just walked straight in." A spokesperson for Wembley Stadium said in a statement: "Entering Wembley Stadium without a ticket is a serious offence and we are investigating these allegations. "If they are substantiated, we will refer our evidence to the police." Oasis' run of concerts at Wembley between 25 July and 3 August was the first time Liam and Noel Gallagher appeared together onstage at the London venue since 12 July 2009, when they performed during the Dig Out Your Soul tour. The band are playing at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium this weekend, followed by Dublin's Croke Park on 16 and 17 August. The group will head to Japan, South Korea, South America, Australia and North America later in the year. Oasis announced their reunion tour in August last year, 16 years after their dramatic split in 2009, which saw Noel quit following a backstage brawl at the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.

Shamrock supernova: Oasis' five best Irish gigs
Oasis roll into Dublin next weekend for two gigs at Croke Park. The band have a long relationship with Ireland and have played here many times - we look back in languor at the band's key Irish gigs 14 gigs down and 28 to go: the Oasis reunion tour is continuing to make its way all around the world, before it culminates in Sao Paola next November - and with ticket sales like that, there may well be more dates to come next year. However, the biggie for Irish fans and (shucks!) even the band themselves is nigh. Oasis play Dublin's Croke Park over two nights next weekend, their first Irish live show since they rocked the ramparts at Slane in June 2009 - just two months before they finally imploded in Paris after a barney between Noel and Liam Galagher involving a flying plum and a "guitar being wielded like an axe". All, it seems, is forgiven and the warring brothers are back singing from the same spread sheet again. And these Croke Park shows will be a sort of homecoming for this band of second generation Irish brothers. Along with their boozed-up anthems and knack for teary ballads, a large part of Oasis' appeal to the Irish masses has also been their Hibernophilia. Noel and Liam have always known the importance of being Irish. As they evolved from cheeky young Beatlebums to meandering dad rockers, Irish audiences never seemed to get enough of the Oasis live experience. Even as the hits dwindled and the music became increasingly stodgy and workmanlike, the fans always turned up because at their core, Oasis have a set of classic songs that move massive audiences. Will anyone at Croker be there to hear, say, Love Like a Bomb or (Get Off Your) High Horse Lady? The band made their Irish live debut in September 1994 at the Tivoli Theatre in Dublin and over the next 15 years, they played a diverse range of venues, including Belfast's Limelight, Slane Castle in 1995, two nights at The Point in 1996, Páirc Uí Chaoimh in 1996, Lansdowne Road in 2000, Fairyhouse, the SECC in Belfast and Marley Park before bowing out in style by headlining Slane in 2009. The Tivoli Theatre, Dublin, 3 September 1994 Sons of the old sod, Oasis made their Irish debut on a balmy Saturday night in 1994 in the Tivoli Theatre, a great venue in the heart of the Liberties, which had also played host to the immortal Jeff Buckley, Blur, Rage Against The Machine, Limerick dream weavers The Cranberries and English shoegaze princelings Ride. The Oasis show was a terrific punk rock racket and it was notable for being the first time Noel performed a solo acoustic song: the band's soon to be sacked drummer Tony McCarroll had burst his snare skin during a particularly energetic Bring it on Down so Gallagher Snr sang D'ya wanna be a Spaceman on acoustic guitar while repairs were made. "We're here for the Tayto" - Oasis hit Dublin in 1994 Fun fact: Evan Dando of The Lemonheads was standing side of the stage, nodding along in appreciation. Tickets were - read it and weep - £6.75 and the reviews were effusive, with one hack remarking that it was "even worth missing Match of the Day for." Here's the 12-song set list: Columbia, Fade Away, D igsy's Dinner, Shakermaker, Live Forever, Bring It On Down, D'Yer Wanna Be a Spaceman?, Up in the Sky, Slide Away, Cigarettes & Alcohol, Supersonic, I Am the Walrus. Oasis played The Limelight in Belfast the following night and heard the news that their debut album, Definitely Maybe, had hit No 1 in the UK. Slane Castle, 22 August, 1995 The next time Oasis darkened our shores was the following year supporting R.E.M., a band whose own commercial trajectory was heading downwards just as Oasis' was heading in the other direction. Any notion that the Mancunian upstarts blew the American band off the stage that day are of course nonsense but they put in a rowdy, ragged and loud set in their "home county" of Meath just ten days after they had lost the Battle of Britpop to Blur. (Side bar: Doesn't the central riff of (What's The Story) Morning Glory bare an uncanny resemblance to R.E.M.'s 1987 hit The One I Love?). However, Liam was greeted with some unwelcome local hospitality when a sod of turf came hurtling out of the crowd and hit him full in the face before he even began singing the first song of the band's set. Years later, Noel later told me it was the funniest thing he had ever seen. Oasis would be back in Slane 14 years later - this time as headliners. Páirc Uí Chaoimh, Cork, 14/15 August, 1996 Just three days after they'd played to 250,000 people at Knebworth in the UK, a very busy and buzzing Oasis rocked into Cork for two shows at Páirc Uí Chaoimh. They were at the height of their pomp. Arriving as Britpop's It couple, Liam alighted from the plane at Cork Airport hand in hand (it's the only way to land) with Patsy Kensit, while Noel had the insouciant look of a man who knew that his band had arrived at the toppermost of the poppermost. At the Cork shows, they were supported by The Bootleg Beatles and The Prodigy and all for a ticket price of (again, read it and weep) £22.50. Among the audience was Robbie Williams, Lenny Henry and Formula One driver Eddie Irvine but also present were members of the band's extended Irish families from Meath and Mayo. On the second night, Noel played an acoustic version of Cast No Shadow on a guitar which had once belonged to Rory Gallagher, who'd passed away the previous year. During their Cork sojourn, the Gallagher brothers even found time to pop into a Dunnes in Bishopstown to buy fresh socks - very important for a hard-touring band. Speaking to the Irish Examiner back in 1996, the shop's manager Declan Flanagan said, "Noel and Liam and their entourage walked into the shop. They went straight over to the men's clothing section and started to admire our range of autumn shorts. When they came into the shop there was pandemonium among the staff." The band stayed in the very swanky Liss Ard Estate outside Skibbereen in West Cork and downed a few pints in the Skibbereen Eagle pub. Lansdowne Road, Dublin on 6 July 2000 As part of their Standing on the Shoulder of Giants tour, Oasis played what was then the concrete crater of Lansdowne Road stadium (now the glittering Aviva) in the summer of 2000. More than 40,000 fans were there to witness the band just as they going through another set of convulsions. As well as a reshuffle that saw Gem Archer of Heavy Stereo and Ride axe man Andy Bell join the line-up, Noel had walked out on Oasis two months previously and there was much speculation about the future of Liam's marriage to Patsy Kensit. In fact, the singer announced from the stage at Lansdowne, "We're not f***ing splitting up, baby!" but nobody knew if he was talking about Oasis or Patsy. For his part, Noel shared a tentative handshake with Liam at the end of a performance of Acquiesce. This was the setlist on the night: Go Let It Out, Who Feels Love?, Supersonic, Shakermaker, Acquiesce, Gas Panic!, Roll With It, Stand by Me, Wonderwall, Cigarettes & Alcohol, Don't Look Back in Anger, Live Forever. Encore: Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black), (Neil Young & Crazy Horse cover), Champagne Supernova, Rock 'n' Roll Star. Slane Castle, 20 June, 2009 Just two before the wheels flew off the out of control pram that Oasis had become, the band took to the stage at Slane for a second time in June 2009. By then perhaps the People's Band had entered into the obsolescent afterlife of the legacy act. Their later albums had become a slow trudge of dwindling returns; signs of fatigue were evident. and they had calcified into a self-congratulatory mess of dad rock acrimony and jaded tabloid infamy. By 2009, they had become a very good caricature of a burnt-out classic rock band at the fag-end of the seventies. Of course, that was never going to deter the 80,000 people who thronged the Boyne-side venue. Speaking to RTÉ ahead of the gig, Noel said: "When we played Slane in 1995 with R.E.M., I guess we got a sense of what was possible after playing in front of so many people. It was the first big outdoor show we'd ever done." Oasis kicked off their set with Rock 'N' Roll Star and over a 22-song show, they also played Lyla, The Shock of the Lightning, Cigarettes & Alcohol, The Masterplan, Wonderwall, Supersonic, Live Forever, Don't Look Back in Anger, and Champagne Supernova. Liam dedicated his composition Songbird"to my missus, who's probably in the bar". On the day, support came from techno punks The Prodigy, the then inexplicably popular Kasabian, The Blizzards, and Glasvegas. With talk of Slane taking place again following the sad passing of Lord Henry Mountcharles and Oasis in a position to sell out another world tour at the drop of a bucket hat, maybe they could be back in Slane next summer . . .
