The skies above Edinburgh were lit up with an impressive drone show on Thursday night ahead of Manchester music legends Oasis taking over Murrayfield Stadium . Liam and Noel Gallaghe r are set to play three nights at the venue and drones were used to make the band's famous logo in anticipation of their return to Scotland. The drones shone purple over the rugby stadium, in a slick display of the lower case letter bordered stamp, which could be seen across the city . The newly-reunited band played their last show at the stadium in 2009. And 16 years on they will get back on stage as part of their only Scottish dates in their reunion tour. The shows follow a number of dates in Cardiff, Manchester and London, with one fan tragically dying at Wembley Stadium after following from the top tier of a stand. After their three nights in the Scottish capital, the D'You Know What I Mean? rockers embark on the foreign leg of their world tour, which takes them to America, South Korea, Japan, and Australia. The display comes after the city's council officials were blasted as "snobby" after suggesting Oasis fans descending on the city for the shows are old, raucous and overweight. Scottish Secretary Ian Murray blasted comments about the band’s sold-out reunion tour as "classist" and said it was part of a wider issue in Scottish society. He made reference to the fact that drinking alcohol is allowed at rugby matches but not football games. He said: "I think it’s snobby. I mean, Murrayfield is a great example. "You can go and see Scotland versus the All Blacks on a Saturday at three o’clock and get as ratted as you want sitting watching the rugby, and people do, they spend most of their time at the bar." “And I remember my team, Hearts, played Celtic there the following day on the Sunday, when Hampden was out of use for the Commonwealth Games, and there was a complete ban on drinking in the stands for the football fans. "That’s just classist and snobbery.” Asked if he wanted to bring back drinking at football stadiums, the Scottish Secretary joked it was either that “or not have rugby drinking”. In June, Edinburgh council came under fire from Oasis fans, and the band itself, after safety briefings showed officials’ concerns about the crowds descending on the city for the group’s performance at Murrayfield, which clashes with the Fringe. One note from the documents showed council officials warning that “middle-aged men take up more room, consider this when working out occupancy”. Another detailed “concern about crowds of Oasis on weekends as they are already rowdy and the tone of the band”. It added: “Concerned about the safety of the Fringe and its performers. Many performers are considering not attending for that weekend.” One document suggested there would be “medium to high intoxication” at the concert, and to expect a “substantial amount of older fans”, but added there had been “minimal arrests” at recent events involving either of the Gallagher brothers . Responding on social media at the time, Liam Gallagher said: “To the Edinburgh council I’ve heard what you said about Oasis fans and quite frankly your attitude f****** stinks I’d leave town that day if I was any of you lot.” In a second post , he added: “I’d love to see a picture of all the people on the Edinburgh council bet there’s some real stunning individuals.” City of Edinburgh Council was approached for comments.
