Liam Gallagher Slams Edinburgh City Council Over Oasis Fans Criticism
Liam Gallagher finds the evaluation of Oasis supporters by authorities unsatisfactory.
Step aside, Edinburgh City Council! Liam Gallagher, lead singer of the legendary British band Oasis, isn't keeping quiet about your less-than-impressive remarks regarding his fans. In a recent social media post, he fired back at the council, slamming them for labeling Oasis fans as rowdy and taking up too much space, yikes!
According to reports, the council's safety briefing documents described the band's fans as "older" and "taking up more room." Liam Gallagher, never one to mince words, took to Twitter to express his rage, saying, "I’d love to see a picture of all the people on the Edinburgh council - bet there’s some real STUNNING individuals." [2][3]
The jabs were just the tip of the iceberg. As the council expressed concern about the upcoming Oasis concerts potentially endangering the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and participatory artists, Liam urged his fans not to hang around the city. "If I were one of you, I’d leave the city that day," the singer said [1].
Meanwhile, the brothers Gallagher, Liam and Noel, ended their decade-long feud in 2024 and announced a joint world tour for 2025 [1][3]. With Oasis's iconic hits like "Wonderwall" and "Don't Look Back In Anger," the band was a pioneer of the Britpop era [1]. Unsurprisingly, the three sold-out shows in Edinburgh are expected to attract an estimated 210,000 fans [3].
Despite the controversy, the tour has generated massive excitement, proving that even criticism can't slow down the power of Oasis! Stay tuned to see if more drama unfolds before the show!
