Liam Gallagher Slams Edinburgh Council Over Oasis Fans Comments
Liam Gallagher Disagrees with Official Assessment Regarding Oasis Fans' Behavior
In a fiery response, British rocker Liam Gallagher has lashed out at Edinburgh Council over their alleged derogatory comments about Oasis fans. According to reports, the authorities labeled Oasis concert-goers as overweight, rowdy, and potentially intoxicated[2][3][4].
Taking to social media, Gallagher didn't mince words, calling out the council directly: "To the Edinburgh council, I’ve heard what you said about OASIS fans and quite frankly your attitude fucking stinks. I'd leave town that day if I was any of you lot," he wrote.
His statement sparked widespread backlash against the council's remarks, as reported in leaked safety briefings. However, Councillor Margaret Graham later responded, emphasizing the city's pride in hosting major events and commitment to ensuring a positive experience for all visitors[2].
The controversy unfolded as the beloved British band, known for hits like "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back In Anger," prepares for three concerts in Edinburgh, coinciding with the city's famous arts and culture festival[1]. Despite concerns about fan behavior, around 210,000 fans are expected to attend the shows.
In an interesting twist, brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, Oasis' founders, ended their 15-year feud in late 2024 and announced a joint world tour for 2025[1]. The band, a pioneer of the Britpop era, formed in Manchester in 1991.
