Prove your Oasis ability at Wonderwall World Championships in Edinburgh and win a wall of beer
Courtesy of Innis & Gunn, you could win a 6ft wall of beer if you win the first ever Wonderwall World Championships. Oasis fans will have the chance to step into the spotlight and belt out one of Britpop's most iconic anthems as the first-ever Wonderwall World Championships lands in Edinburgh. The one-day singing competition will take place tomorrow, Saturday, August 9, at Stockbridge Social, a new outdoor food and drink market in the city, powered by Innis & Gunn. The event is timed perfectly for the afternoon before Oasis take the stage for their second night at Murrayfield. The inaugural event gives gig-goers a chance to warm up their vocals ahead of the Murrayfield concert with a live rendition of Wonderwall. With over 2.4billion streams on Spotify and a permanent spot on karaoke charts worldwide, Wonderwall remains one of the most recognisable tracks in British music. Now, fans will be able to test their vocal chops in front of a live audience, with the chance to win a fittingly boozy prize. Hosted by broadcaster Craig Telfer, known for fronting Scottish football show A View from the Terrace, the competition will be judged by a panel of self-declared Wonderwall experts. The winning performance will be awarded a 'Wonderwall' of Innis & Gunn beer, a six-foot display of the brewery's award-winning Scottish lager. Every brave performer will also receive a pint of Innis & Gunn lager just for getting up and giving it a go. The event is being staged in honour of Oasis' long-awaited return to the capital. The Gallagher brothers are reuniting for three sold-out shows at Murrayfield Stadium on August 8, 9, and 12, their first performances in Scotland since 2009. Innis & Gunn are encouraging fans to come along and give their best version of the song that has been a staple of pub singalongs, student flats and festival fields since it first hit the charts in 1995. Entry is free and open to anyone on the day. 'Like Oasis, we have never been afraid to do things our own way,' said Dougal Sharp, Founder and Master Brewer at Innis & Gunn. "Wonderwall has cemented itself into British culture and everybody knows it. And after all, as soon as those opening chords ring out, you know it's going to be a good time. 'With the Gallaghers coming to Edinburgh, we thought it was the perfect time to let people have their own moment in the spotlight. Grab a pint, grab the mic and show us your Wonderwall .' The contest will be held at Stockbridge Social, a new venture from Innis & Gunn located at the Edinburgh Academicals sports ground. The market offers an eclectic mix of food and drink, including Cromars, previously voted East Scotland's best fish and chips, steak frites from Flame to Fork, and cult pizza favourites Wanderers Kneaded. Alongside Innis & Gunn's full beer range, drinks on offer will include locally produced Edinburgh Gin and Lost Orchards cider, made from apples grown in Scottish orchards that are being brought back to life. Stockbridge Social adds to Innis & Gunn's growing presence in the capital, joining their existing location on the Mound. The Wonderwall World Championships kicks off from 1pm on Saturday, August 9, with free entry for all Oasis fans and brave karaoke hopefuls alike.
