Oasis are supersonic as Gallagher brothers blow Scotland away for first time since '09
Murrayfield Stadium was electric as the Manchester music legends played their first Scottish show on their reunion tour. It was the reunion many thought would never happen but the Oasis 25 tour was well worth the wait and more. Eleven months after tickets were snapped up, the eagerly awaited Oasis bandwagon rolled into Scotland as the Gallagher brothers kicked off the first of three sell-out shows at Edinburgh's Murrayfield stadium - and the fans went absolutely 'mad for it'. Liam, 52, and Noel, 58, received a rapturous welcome last night as they played their first Scottish date in 16 years. The delighted sell-out crowd let out a supersonic roar as the band took to the stage at the home of Scottish rugby and from there the stage was set. Liam walked onstage, past a cardboard cutout of Pep Guardiola. He hugged his big brother before blasting into the opening song Hello with Noel making happy and sad faces to match the lyrics with Liam singing, "Hello, it's good to be back." They followed with Acquiesce and the crowd went wild then came hit after hit including Morning Glory and Some Might Say. Taking note of the audience's enthusiasm, Liam balanced his half-moon shaped tambourine in his head. The rockers then launched into a hit-packed set opening with Hello before following up with Acquiesce and Morning Glory. And it was favourite upon favourite with the crowd singing along to classics such as Roll With It and Wonderwall. The famous brothers had not performed in Scotland since a public feud that led to the band's break-up in 2009. But despite Noel and Liam hurling a plethora of insults at each other in the intervening years, there appeared to be no animosity as the older and wiser duo smiled and cracked jokes onstage. The aggro was reserved for the city council with an angry Liam hitting out at the city council over called comments made about Oasis fans at a meeting this week. Standing side by side during the show, they delivered old-school Oasis classics such as Bring It On Down, Cigarettes & Alcohol and Fade Away. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

The fans who snapped up their tickets and packed into the stadium had waited almost a year to hear their favourite tunes. Some in attendance paid well over the face value due to a controversial 'dynamic pricing' system employed by Ticketmaster when tickets went on sale that led to criticism of the band. Cynics claim enormous payday that will run into tens of millions of pounds by the time the tour is over and that spurred the brothers on to heal the rift. Whatever the reasons for the pair burying the hatched to play the eagerly anticipated reunion tour fans were happy to see them able to perform together without incident. Earlier the packed stadium heard sets from Cast and Richard Ashcroft but there was no question who they had come to see. Liam wandered off stage for a break, while Noel performed his acoustic version of Talk Tonight and followed that up with Half The World Away. Others were reduced to tears as they watched their idols belt out songs from their impressive back catalogue. So popular are the band's live shows in Scotland that hundreds of fans unable to get tickets for the concert in the capital turned up to listen from outside the stadium. Fans had travelled from all over the world to see their idols. Ayoung Jo, 28, an office worker from South Korea, said: "This is my first time here. I came with friends to see Oasis. I had to try to get a ticket for 11 hours. "It was a long time but I was luckily got three tickets. The Oasis reunion is amazing. My favourite song is Live Forever." Among fans who came from around the world were lucky enough to snap up gold-dust tickets to see their idols delivering a set of classic Oasis tunes spanning two hours was Karen Little, 38, from Boston, USA, who hailed the gig as 'truly epic'. She said: 'I couldn't wait to see the band in America and was stunned when I managed to get tickets online. Oasis are truly epic, and Liam's voice gets better with age. The show is old school rock and roll so I'm in heaven at being here to witness it.' It was only fitting that Oasis included Scotland in their UK and Ireland dates. The band were discovered by Scots label boss Alan McGee back in 1993 when they forced their way onto foot of an indie bill at Glasgow's King Tut's venue. The complete unknowns were spotted by the Glaswegian music mogul who signed the Manchester band to his Creation record label. Many concert-goers immediately took to social media as they watched the show to praise Oasis for their performance in fan Cristina Soto, 41, an HR manager who now lives in Texas, travelled with her husband Carlos to see the show after snapping up a pair of briefs back home. Cristina said: "When they announced the concert I tried to get tickets. It took three and a half hours and I got tickets for this location. We have turned this into a vacation and will be seeing Glasgow too. I have been a fan since my teenage years abs saw the band when they last played in Mexico. "I'm looking forward to hearing the songs and feeling the energy. Oasis are amazing and I'm surprised to see so many young people." Earlier, Oasis fans got a special treat as Oasis performed an early sound check which could be heard blasting well beyond the stadium confines at lunchtime including Some Might Say, Half The World Away and Champagne Supernova. Student Peter Grant, 28, who could hear the band playing Some Might Say, said: "I live on North Frederick Street and I'm getting a free concert. I can hear them sound checking. I'm mad for it." But the experience was nothing compared to seeing and hearing the band's official gig in the flesh. The band kept some of the best for last including Live Forever, The Masterplan, Don't Look Back In Anger and The Masterplan before closing with one of the all-time Oasis greats... Champagne Supernova. Oasis will return to Murrayfield for two more shows on Saturday and Tuesday before the band wrap up their Uk and Ireland tour in Dublin.

Noel Gallagher hits out at Oasis fans after being booed at London gig
Noel Gallagher told off fans at the band's London gig after he dedicated a song 'to all Mancunians' and faced boos from members of the audience Noel Gallagher struggled to hold back his temper after fans at one of Oasis' London gigs started to boo him when he asked the crowd if there was anyone from Manchester. With his acoustic guitar around his shoulders, Noel stood before a sprawling crowd but only had eyes for a few particular people who had upset him. Wearing a black t-shirt and a pair of denim jeans, Noel asked the crowd: "Any Mancunians we got in the house?" And in response, a roar of cheers erupted from the audience - apart from a few people towards the front of the stage. Hearing the boos, Noel hit back at the culprits in the packed audience. This comes after Jeremy Vine reveals what will happen if Joey Barton fails to pay staggering legal bill. Staring directly at the fans, the singer, 58, said: "What you f****g booing for? You're only here because of Mancunians. You're only here because of Manchester aren't you? You want to be us? What you booing for?" Seconds later, he strummed his guitar and turned his back to the audience after dedicating his next song to "all Mancunians". It has been over a decade since the band performed together on stage. And while the brothers, Noel and Liam Gallagher have seemingly been getting along, during last week's performance it showed that the brothers have put their troubled past firmly behind them. Sixteen years ago, following a huge argument while in Paris, the band announced their split and both Liam and Noel went their separate ways and pursued solo careers. During last Wednesday's Wembley gig amid their Oasis 25 tour, Liam dedicated a song to his older brother, leaving many fans overwhelmed with emotion. Just moments before he started to sing he addressed the crowd saying: "Now I've gotta dedicate this next tune to our kid - Stand By Me." The special moment was caught on video by a fan who posted it to X. And it only took minutes before the world of social media rushed to the comment section. One person said: "Stop I'll cry'; 'Oh my heart." Another wrote: "I love this! Wish I could be at one of these biblical gigs!!!I love Oasis. xxxx."
