Tens of thousands of Edinburgh Oasis fans have queued up at Murrayfield ahead of the Gallagher brothers final gig in the capital.
Oasis' Supersonic run of shows at the home of Scottish rugby will come to a close tonight with their third show in the capital after the Mancunian rockers played their first show together in Scotland in 16 years on Friday and Saturday, reports The Record.
Over 200,000 fans will have attended the sold-out shows once tonight's performance ends and eager oasis-lovers have already began queuing to get the best spot possible before the doors open at 5pm. Around 67,000 more Oasis fans are set to pack the venue tonight.
Those queuing have been pictured decked out in Oasis merchandise from bucket hats, which are being sold from vendors outside the stadium, to football shirts branded with the band's logo.
Excited fans who have travelled from across the world, including as far as South Korea, spoke to the Record earlier as they waited in line for the "biblical" gig.
Civil servant Meeho Lee, 33, and data analyst Ra Young, 31, came from Seoul to witness their favourite band play in Edinburgh.
Meeho said: 'I was a huge fan of Oasis since I was a high school student. After I heard they were reuniting, my friend and I got tickets to come here.
'It was a lot of preparation with plane tickets and hotels. It was expensive but it's been worth it.
'Edinburgh is a very attractive city and the beer is delicious.'
Support act Richard Ashcroft is set to take the stage at 7pm followed by the main event at 8.15pm. A curfew for fans exiting Murrayfield has been set at 10.30pm.
ScotRail is advising fans to make their way promptly to Haymarket station after the show, where a designated holding area is in place on Haymarket Terrace to manage crowds safely and efficiently.
They said: "We're encouraging everyone to plan their journey in advance, make the most of the extra services, and soak up the atmosphere of a great night in the capital."
