Edinburgh Fringe luvvies have been left furious by the so-called 'Oasis effect', which has driven up accommodation fees in the Scottish capital to 'catastrophic' levels.
Performers at the showpiece spectacle, which draws millions of people each year, say the impact of the band's tour has been 'diabolical'.
'Drunk' fans of the Britpop legends have led to 'problems' at some venues, while hordes of Oasis lovers have ground the city's transport network to a halt.
The surge of some 200,000 music die-hards has triggered a brutal city-wide scramble for beds, with prices skyrocketing to eye-watering levels as gig-goers and Fringe lovers compete for rooms.
In some cases, hotel rooms have been listed for a staggering £4,000 a night while Oasis is in town - with the group's last gig in Edinburgh set to kick off on Tuesday. Some performers at the festival have even given up and opted to sleep in their cars.
