One in four Brits leave a gig early and miss encore for surprising reason
A quarter of concert attendees tend to give the encore a miss and make an early exit, with a third prioritising their wellbeing for the following day. A poll of 2,000 music enthusiasts revealed that one in four prefer the idea of unwinding post-gig rather than sticking around for the final tune. Interestingly, it's the Gen Z demographic who are most likely to make a swift exit. Tiredness also factors in, with 36 per cent of adults admitting concern about how they'll feel the next morning. Furthermore, 37 per cent indulge in self-care post-concert to ensure they wake up refreshed the next day. However, this post-gig routine may not be as effective as hoped, with over half of all adults typically waking up from their post-concert slumber feeling tired and worn out. The study was commissioned by Holiday Inn Express, which has teamed up with Will Best and AJ Odudu to introduce limited edition 'Fresh or Fried' packages - available online and at participating hotels. These packages include items such as hydration sachets, earplugs, caffeine gum, sleep-enhancing essential oils and under-eye cool masks - all designed to aid concertgoers in their post-gig recovery. Guests can choose between the two options based on how they typically feel the morning after a gig. Almost half of those surveyed said they prefer to wake up at their usual time after a gig, while 38 per cent enjoy sleeping in and having a 'lazy day '. Will Best said: "I go to lots of gigs, but I still have to get up early for breakfast radio, so while I have fun and definitely indulge in some questionable dad dancing, I still like to wind down properly afterwards. "A great sleep, strong coffee and a decent breakfast is what I need when I get up so I'm ready to tackle the day," he added. AJ Odudu, on the other hand is the opposite: "I am a night owl and I always get a second wind, especially when in a concert environment - I definitely get that from my mum!" The research revealed that for many, it's just as much about the pre-gig preparation as it is afterward, with 16 per cent taking a pre-show nap and eight per cent even meditating beforehand. These practices are particularly popular among Gen Z (21 per cent and 17 per cent) and Millennials (29 per cent and 17 per cent). The survey found that Ed Sheeran topped the list of this summer's most anticipated performances, with Oasis claiming second position. Beyoncé secured third spot, whilst Billie Eilish ranked fourth and Olivia Rodrigo completed the top five. Holiday Inn Express spokesperson, John Wright, said: "As the research shows gig goers have different approaches - some are night owls who stay up until dawn, while some are self-care enthusiasts who prefer a more relaxed concert experience. "It's important that everyone can enjoy iconic summer concerts, and the morning after, in a way that suits them best. Our Fresh or Fried care packages were designed with these distinct personas and gig routines and behaviours in mind."

Remembering when Oasis welcomed 80,000 people to Loch Lomond for epic gigs
Oasis have begun their reunion tour and will play three shows at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium on August 8, 9 and 12, their first in Scotland since 2009 Oasis have officially kicked off their long-awaited reunion tour, thrilling fans with their performances down south. The Britpop legends, fronted by Liam and Noel Gallagher, head to Scotland soon to perform three nights at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium on August 8, 9, and 12. The shows will mark the band's first appearance in Scotland since 2009, when they last played Murrayfield as part of their Dig Out Your Soul tour. That performance came just months before the group's dramatic and widely publicised split. Now reunited, the Gallaghers are bringing Oasis back to Scottish soil, and expectations are already sky-high among fans. The band's return to Murrayfield holds special significance, not only because of the long hiatus, but because it was also the venue of their final Scottish show before disbanding. While the 2009 gig was a standout moment for many, it's the band's 1996 shows at Loch Lomond that remain etched in the country's musical history. At the height of their fame, Oasis performed two massive concerts at Balloch Country Park on the shores of Loch Lomond on August 3 and 4, 1996, drawing an estimated 80,000 fans across the two nights. Those shows were part of their What's the Story (Morning Glory)? tour and are still considered by many to be some of the most iconic live performances in UK music history. With ticketless fans scaling fences and sneaking past security, the real crowd numbers may have exceeded official figures. Here are some pictures that show the craze of Oasis in 1996.
