Have Oasis played Murrayfield before as countdown to Edinburgh gig underway

Daily Record2 days ago
The famous brothers are taking to the stage in Edinburgh in August.
The countdown to the much anticipated Edinburgh Oasis shows is officially underway, with the Gallaghers playing three nights at Murrayfield stadium next month. The brothers' highly anticipated reunion tour will see Oasis reunite on the Edinburgh stage for the first time in 15 years.
Up to 210,000 eager fans are to descend on Murrayfield Stadium on August 8, 9 and 12 to hear classics like Wonderwall and Live Forever for the first time since the famous brothers' even more famous fallout.
Oasis have already played the first couple of legs of their reunion tour, which kicked off at Cardiff's Principality Stadium on July 4. The band are currently in the middle of their Manchester leg of the tour, where the pair are playing five nights at Heaton Park in their hometown.
Following their Manchester gigs, the Gallagher brothers are to play five nights at London's Wembley Stadium before heading north for Edinburgh's performances.
But as Oasis are soon to make their iconic return to Scotland, many have been led to wonder whether the Gallaghers have played Murrayfield before. Here's everything you need to know about the brothers' past Scottish gigs.
Have Oasis played Murrayfield Stadium before?
Oasis played Murrayfield Stadium twice, most recently in 2009, just before their infamous argument.
They played in June, mere weeks before their last ever gig for 15 years.
The band also previously played Murrayfield in the year 2000.
Some other notable Scottish gigs that the pair have played include King Tut's in Glasgow in May of 1993 as well as Plaza and Cathouse in December of the same year, also both in Glasgow.
Oasis played a series of gigs in Scotland in 1994, including Gleneagles, La Belle Angel in Edinburgh, Tramway in Glasgow, and the iconic long-gone Scots festival T in the Park.
Other iconic Scottish venues and festivals that saw Oasis take stage before their break-up included Glasgow's Barrowlands, Glasgow Green Festival and Edinburgh's Usher Hall, according to their 'gigography'.
Can you still buy tickets for the Oasis reunion dates in Edinburgh?
General admission for the Edinburgh dates sold out almost instantly, like all of the tour dates for Oasis' reunion.
However, several other options still exist to try and bag resale tickets, although you'll have to be quick on the ball.
Twickets is a reselling site that offers a platform for fans to sell their tickets at face value or less. If you're lucky, you could catch a ticket this way, but be careful- if you blink you could miss it.
Ticketmaster also offers a verified ticket resale service, but again, you'll have to be vigilant to catch one before it sells again.
After their many UK dates, including the three Edinburgh shows, the Oasis tour then goes worldwide with dates in Brazil, Australia, South Korea, Japan and the US.

Watch: The Bill star helps real-life police arrest shoplifter

An actor who starred as a policeman in TV show The Bill helped real-life officers apprehend a runaway thief on Wednesday, footage shows. Jeff Stewart, who played PC Reg Hollis in over 900 episodes of the show from 1984 to 2008, sprinted after a shoplifter and sat on his legs as officers arrested him. Praising the actor, Hampshire Constabulary said he was 'long since retired from Sun Hill station – but he's still got it'. The footage shows that, as Stewart comes to the police's aid, he tells them: 'Well, I was in The Bill for 24 years.' The 69-year-old Scottish actor helped the officers make an arrest in Southampton, Hants, on Wednesday. A force spokesman said: 'In policing, you should always expect the unexpected, but this really wasn't on The Bill for this week. Officers making an arrest in Southampton were aided by none other than TV's PC Reg Hollis during an incident on Wednesday July 23. 'The officers were in the city in the afternoon when they were alerted by staff at Co-op in Ocean Way to a suspected shoplifter, who attempted to make good his escape on a bicycle. The thief – 29-year-old Mohamed Diallo – fell off the bike during his attempts to flee, before officers pounced to make their arrest. 'To their surprise, local TV legend Jeff Stewart, who played PC Hollis for 24 years,came to their aid by sitting on the suspect's legs while officers put him in cuffs.' Witness Sam Holton was working from his home when he heard the commotion outside. He said: 'I hear lots of screaming and commotion. I see this guy cycling away, and he is being chased by a member of the public and two police. 'By the time I had whipped out my phone, the first police officer tackled the guy to the floor on his bike, and the other chap caught up. There was an older guy chasing behind the police. He helped the police hold the guy.' Diallo, from Southampton, admitted five counts of theft totalling £284 at Southampton magistrates' court. He will be sentenced next week.
