Liam Gallagher explodes as Oasis fans branded 'fat, drunk and lairy' ahead of reunion tour
@Source: mirror.co.uk
Liam Gallagher has hit back at a local council after they reportedly branded Oasis fans 'fat, drunk, lairy and old' ahead of the band's much-anticipated comeback reunion tour, which kicks off later this year. The indie frontman took to X, formerly known as Twitter , to have his say on what some Edinburgh Council officials had allegedly said in safety briefings, as Oasis are set to play three sell-out gigs at the 67,000 capacity Murrayfield Stadium in Scotland's capital city in August. According to reports, leaked council papers said some punters at the shows will mainly be "middle-aged men" who "take up more room:" They were also said to be concerned acts could pull out of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which also takes place in August, due to possible clashes with 'rowdy' Oasis fans heading to gigs nearby. In an outburst on social media, a fuming Liam ranted: "To the Edinburgh council, I've heard what you said about OASIS fans and quite frankly your attitude f***ing stinks. I'd leave town that day if I was any of you lot." He then added: "I'd love to see a picture of all the people on the Edinburgh council, bet there's some real STUNNING individuals." Outraged Oasis fans were quick to comment underneath with one writing: "Good on you for calling this out Liam." Another said: "Thanks for standing up to this lot!" A third commented: "Well said." A fourth joked: "Little do they know oasis fans are actually sexy, sober and well-behaved." Stating there will be lots of younger fans too, a fourth said: "Just trying to get gossip spreading and s**t stirring for the Oasis reunion. They have nothing better to do than to try and be hateful. So many youngsters will be attending." While a fifth pointed out: "Absolutely ridiculous comments from @Edinburgh_CC. When Liam did Knebworth solo, it was a brilliant, relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere with parents bringing their kids along. Rugby fans at Murrayfield cause more drunken trouble than a music-loving Oasis crowd ever could." Other said the band should move their gigs to Glasgow instead in retaliation if they aren't welcome in Edinburgh. One fan posted: "Move it to Glasgow, its a 2nd home for you @liamgallagher." Another wrote: "You should have played Glasgow Liam. I saw Oasis twice in 4 weeks in 2000, Murrayfield and Glasgow Green – and the Glasgow Green Crowd were well and truly mad for it." The Sun reported secret planning briefings from Edinburgh Council warned: "Concerned about the safety of the Fringe and its performers. Many performers are considering not attending for that weekend. There is concern about crowds... as they are already rowdy... and the tone of the band.' In an apparent dig at the weight of punters set to descend on Edinburgh for the iconic gigs, it added: "Middle-aged men take up more room. Consider this when working out occupancy." Officials are also said to expect "medium to high intoxication" from fans attending the gigs on the 8, 9 and 12 of August. The Mirror has contacted Edinburgh Council for further comment on this story. The legendary Manchester-based band will be on stage together for the first time in 16 years next month for their mammoth Oasis Live '25 tour. It comes as previously warring brothers Liam, 52, and Noel, 58, patched up their differences to get the band back together last year. After almost two decades of arguing, the brothers left fans in a state of disbelief when they announced their sensational return – almost 15 years to the day of their split in August 2009. In just a matter of weeks, they will take to the stage at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on July 4 for their first comeback show. This will be followed by a string of homecoming gigs in their native Manchester at Heaton Park and London's Wembley Stadium. They then play Edinburgh and Dublin before turning it into a world tour with dates in Chicago, Mexico, Tokyo, Melbourne, Sydney and Sao Paulo. Though things appear to be fine between the brothers now, Liam recently opened up to reveal what his one major regret about the band was. A fan asked him on social media: "How does it feel singing songs with ur brother again? Like old times?" Liam responded: "You know what it's spiritual, but I can't help think about all those wasted years, what a waste of PRECIOUS time." But could fans see the once-warring brothers again after their upcoming tour? Replying to a fan, Liam teased: "Let's see how this tour goes and if we still love each other after it."
