Have Oasis played Murrayfield before as countdown to Edinburgh gig underway
The famous brothers are taking to the stage in Edinburgh in August. The countdown to the much anticipated Edinburgh Oasis shows is officially underway, with the Gallaghers playing three nights at Murrayfield stadium next month. The brothers' highly anticipated reunion tour will see Oasis reunite on the Edinburgh stage for the first time in 15 years. Up to 210,000 eager fans are to descend on Murrayfield Stadium on August 8, 9 and 12 to hear classics like Wonderwall and Live Forever for the first time since the famous brothers' even more famous fallout. Oasis have already played the first couple of legs of their reunion tour, which kicked off at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on July 4. The band are currently in the middle of their Manchester leg of the tour, where the pair are playing five nights at Heaton Park in their hometown. Following their Manchester gigs, the Gallagher brothers are to play five nights at London's Wembley Stadium before heading north for Edinburgh's performances. But as Oasis are soon to make their iconic return to Scotland, many have been led to wonder whether the Gallaghers have played Murrayfield before. Here's everything you need to know about the brothers' past Scottish gigs. Have Oasis played Murrayfield Stadium before? Oasis played Murrayfield Stadium twice, most recently in 2009, just before their infamous argument. They played in June, mere weeks before their last ever gig for 15 years. The band also previously played Murrayfield in the year 2000. Some other notable Scottish gigs that the pair have played include King Tut's in Glasgow in May of 1993 as well as Plaza and Cathouse in December of the same year, also both in Glasgow. Oasis played a series of gigs in Scotland in 1994, including Gleneagles, La Belle Angel in Edinburgh, Tramway in Glasgow, and the iconic long-gone Scots festival T in the Park. Other iconic Scottish venues and festivals that saw Oasis take stage before their break-up included Glasgow's Barrowlands, Glasgow Green Festival and Edinburgh's Usher Hall, according to their 'gigography'. Can you still buy tickets for the Oasis reunion dates in Edinburgh? General admission for the Edinburgh dates sold out almost instantly, like all of the tour dates for Oasis' reunion. However, several other options still exist to try and bag resale tickets, although you'll have to be quick on the ball. Twickets is a reselling site that offers a platform for fans to sell their tickets at face value or less. If you're lucky, you could catch a ticket this way, but be careful- if you blink you could miss it. Ticketmaster also offers a verified ticket resale service, but again, you'll have to be vigilant to catch one before it sells again. After their many UK dates, including the three Edinburgh shows, the Oasis tour then goes worldwide with dates in Brazil, Australia, South Korea, Japan and the US.

Oasis lost tracks uncovered as songs from Be Here Now era are heard for the first time and fan hails one 'Noel's best ever'
Three never-before-heard Oasis tracks recorded during the band's Be Here Now era have been unearthed on a long-lost tape - and one super fan claims one song could be 'one of the best Noel Gallagher has ever written.' The unheard gems, all performed by Noel himself, were discovered on a forgotten DAT tape labelled 'B-sides' from 1998, around the time the band released All Around The World as a single. Kyle Dale, a member of the Oasis collectors group, made the discovery and shared the recordings with original guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs, who now tours with Oasis tribute show Live Forever – Oasis Live 25. Speaking on the Oasis Podcast, Kyle explained how the mystery tape caught his attention: 'It said it was seven minutes long but it was actually 55. I knew straight away this wasn't in the archive. It had been lost for over 20 years.' According to Kyle, the tape features a standout track dubbed I'm Alive, which he believes could still become a hit if released today. Kyle revealed: 'I played them to Bonehead and the story would be that Noel would record them on a tape and send them round the band and they would listen and go back to it.' The super fan continued that as Bonehead listened to the songs, some he remembered and some he'd never heard before. But when he got to I'm Alive, he stopped in his tracks and listened to it.' Kyle added that he said, 'That is one of the best songs I've ever heard Noel write. It's amazing…if they put that out now it would take off.' Another track includes a familiar musical section that was later used in the band's 2000 chart-topper Go Let It Out, giving fans a rare glimpse into the evolution of Oasis' sound during that period. The rare tape also includes a demo of Flashbax, along with covers of The Beatles' Tomorrow Never Knows and The Rolling Stones' Street Fighting Man. Despite being offered £20,000 for the tape, Kyle has refused to sell it and even sent digital copies to Noel himself. But the former Oasis frontman, speaking on the Matt Morgan Podcast, appeared unfazed, saying he'd been sent a USB stick by a fan, but not listened to it. 'It's not something that interests me, if I'm being honest' he'd said. It comes after Noel went unnoticed by commuters on the London Underground earlier this week as he enjoyed some time back in his home city It comes after Noel went unnoticed by commuters on the London Underground as he enjoyed some time back in his home city. The rock superstar, 58, is currently on a world tour with his brother Liam, 52, as the pair managed to put their 16-year feud aside. After they finished up their second night in Manchester, it appeared that Noel return back to his home in North London as he prepared for their next gig up north on Wednesday, July 16. In a TikTok video posted by loisinthenorth on Tuesday, Noel could be seen leaving a nearly empty tube with no one rushing over to him, despite his A-list status. The star opted for a lowkey figure in a navy t-shirt and trousers as he attempted to disguise his identity with a pair of silver frame sunglasses. The owner of the video captioned the clip: 'POV: You're getting the train from Paddington - Baker St and bump into…' It comes after it was reported that Noel and Liam are 'planning to splash £200,000 on a huge party' following their shows in London. After 16 years, Oasis have finally reunited for 41 shows across Europe, including seven gigs in London, with the first on July 25 and the final one on September 28. And the brothers will reportedly throw the ultimate bash in September to celebrate the completion of the first part of their reunion tour with their celebrity pals. A source told The Sun: 'Liam and Noel are staying away from the booze and parties during the tour to protect their voices. 'They are looking forward to catching up with pals in September following the success of the tour. There will be no expense spared and guests with an invitation can expect to be given the VIP treatment.'
