The returning Britpop kicked off the Scottish leg of their Oasis Live ‘25 tour last night (August 8), and will play two more shows on August 9 and 12.
As with their previous gigs in Cardiff, Manchester and London, they’re joined at all dates by opening acts Cast and Richard Ashcroft. You can see the stage times here.
Kicking off the show with ‘Hello’, as they’ve done at previous gigs, Liam Gallagher said to the estimated 70,000 fans: “Oasis vibes in the area. Edinburgh vibes in the area.” You can see the full setlist further below.
Fans in the Scottish capital have since reacted to the gig, with one calling it a “religious experience” and another adding that it was “fucking magnificent”.

Just saw Oasis in Edinburgh. A religious experience. They do concerts so much better than in the US. 80,000 people walked to the show then waked home together. Cheers pic.twitter.com/t4YmwxLUkh

The night also saw Liam describe City of Edinburgh council as “a bunch of snakes”, saying the group were “still waiting for our apology” from the local authority over a report which suggested the band’s fans would be “rowdy” and “intoxicated”.
Gallagher said the band was “bringing £1bn to this city” before saying none of the crowd would see any of it thanks to the council.
He also commented on the Edinburgh festivals running across the month of August, describing them as a place for “people who swallow swords” and perform “poor magic tricks”.

LIAM GALLAGHER BLASTS CITY COUNCIL AT TONIGHT’S GIG: “What about Edinburgh council, the fucking slags. The amount of money we’re going to bring in, they’ll split with their posh, ugly mates. Still waiting for a fucking apology”

The gigs come after the Scottish Sun reported that it had seen safety briefing documents ahead of the shows in which the council describe Oasis fans as “rowdy”, “middle-aged men” who are likely to drink to “medium to high intoxication”.
Liam did not take kindly to the report, taking to X in June to write: “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 added.
In a subsequent post, he continued: “I’d love to see a picture of all the people on the Edinburgh council, bet there’s some real STUNING [sic] individuals.”

The report stated that there was concern from authorities that the gigs would pose a risk to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, which runs in the city from August 1 to 25 and is expected to attract three million fans.
The briefing is also said to state: “Middle-aged men take up more room. Consider this when working out capacity.”

After they wrap up the Scottish gigs, Oasis will then head for a pair of performances in Dublin’s Croke Park on August 16 and 17, before heading across the Atlantic for the North American tour. Dates in Toronto, Chicago, East Rutherford, Pasadena and Mexico City will take them to the middle of September, when they head back for two final nights at Wembley.
Later in the year, they play in South Korea, Japan, Australia, Argentina, Chile and Brazil.
NME gave Oasis’ first concert at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium a glowing five-star review, writing: “After a ‘90s heyday and an often maligned post-millennium era, this is Oasis redesigned for the 21st Century.”
“Playing before a pop-art-meets-psychedelia visual spectacular that never distracts but will look sick on a phone, they seem the quintessential stadium band playing the greatest hits of greatest hits,” it added.
At the fourth of the Wembley shows last week, a man tragically fell to his death at the end of the gig. A 45-year-old landscape gardener from Bournemouth named Lee Claydon, his father has described him as a “hard-working family man” and “a lovely bloke”. A GoFundMe set up by the family has raised over £20,000 – see the page here.
