Oasis coming to Edinburgh: All you need to know about Murrayfield concerts in August
@Source: scotsman.com
The much anticipated live return has been welcomed by thrilled Oasis fans across the world, with the ‘will they won’t they’ rumours of a return, widespread since the Gallagher brothers acrimonious split in 2009, finally put to bed when the band revealed in August last year that would return in 2025. Oasis said in a statement at the time: “The guns have fallen silent. The stars have aligned. The great wait is over. Come see. It will not be televised” The Live 25 tour will see Oasis perform to millions of adoring fans across the world, with huge outdoor shows across the UK, North and South America, and Australia selling out in minutes. Around 14 million people are said to have joined the scramble for 1.4 million tickets for only 17 shows announced at the time across the UK and Ireland, with fans left furious with Ticketmaster due to long queues and controversial dynamic pricing. The Manchester band, who kick of the reunion tour on Friday, July 4 in Cardiff, will play Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh on Friday, August 8, Saturday, August 9 and Tuesday, August 12. Doors are currently expected to open at 5pm each day. With Oasis going through many line-up changes over the years, particularly drummers, and the Gallagher brothers the only remaining members from their formation in 1990 until their split in 2009, fans were eager to see which line-up would return, with speculation widespread since the band announced they would be getting back together. The Oasis reunion lineup for the Live '25 tour is expected to include Liam and Noel Gallagher, along with former band members Andy Bell on bass, Gem Archer and Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs on guitars, and new member Joey Waronker on drums, according to Radio X and NME. As with all UK and Ireland tour dates for Oasis Live 25, the band will be supported in Edinburgh by Britpop heroes Cast and former Verve frontman Richard Ashcroft, adding to the 90s nostalgia of the Britpop legends’ much-anticipated return. Murrayfield Ice Arena will host six-hour parties ahead of each Oasis show in August at Murrayfield Stadium next door, featuring tribute bands and a popular local indie DJ. Fans will be able to watch sets by Definitely Oasis, The Complete Stone Roses and DJ Fools Gold, with fully licensed bars, food vendors and toilet facilities, in the shadows of the home of Scottish rugby, and sheltered from any possible Scottish summer rain.
