Singer says attitude of officials ‘stinks’ after documents show concern about crowds and intoxication
Liam Gallagher has criticised Edinburgh council bosses after Oasis fans attending three sellout concerts at Murrayfield Stadium were described as mainly “rowdy” “middle-aged men” who “take up more room” and would drink to “medium to high intoxication”.
The Scottish Sun said it had obtained safety briefing documents through freedom of information requests, before the reunion gigs on 8, 9 and 12 August.
In them, officials expressed concern that the 210,000 fans posed a risk to the Edinburgh festival fringe, which is expected to attract more than 3 million visitors to Scotland’s capital between 1 and 25 August, the paper said.
Gallagher responded on social media, posting on X: 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.
