Oasis crowds stall exits at Murrayfield

Fans faced lengthy queues and slow exits after Oasis played a sell-out second night at Murrayfield, Edinburgh.

Oasis crowd exit challenges at Murrayfield after sell out show

Oasis delivered a sell-out second night at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh on Saturday, drawing around 70,000 fans. After the show, large queues formed outside as attendees tried to leave, with social media footage showing a slow, dense exit. A video clip shared on TikTok captured fans packed in and the bottleneck near the stadium gates, while some onlookers turned the moment into humor by overlaying audio from The Mummy.

Locals who couldn’t get tickets gathered at Roseburn Park to soak up the atmosphere or listen in from outside the venue. Oasis will play a final Edinburgh gig on Tuesday August 12, closing the band’s two night run in the city. Amid the crowds, a notable moment occurred when Dwayne Yuill proposed to Shell Hodge during her favourite track, Slide Away, adding a personal highlight to a night defined by congestion.

Crowd movement after big gigs is a common test for city logistics and venue planning. This night shows that even a popular act can overwhelm not just a venue but the surrounding streets and transit options if exits aren’t clearly directed or well staffed.

The romance on stage contrasts with the logistical strain off it, underscoring how live events become social moments that linger in memory even when the crowd experience is challenging. For organizers, the takeaway is plain: invest in clear wayfinding, adequate staffing, and reliable post-show transport options to keep the focus on the music rather than the queue.
