Oasis three Murrayfield gigs set to draw crowds

Oasis relaunches its Scottish visit with three sold out Murrayfield shows drawing fans and extra train services.

Oasis returns to Scotland for three sold out Murrayfield gigs

Thousands of fans gathered in Edinburgh as Oasis kicked off a three night run at Murrayfield, marking the band’s first return to Scotland in 16 years. The shows are sold out and the exact setlist remains unconfirmed, though past performances have featured crowd favorites such as Wonderwall, Morning Glory and Don’t Look Back in Anger. Fans traveled from across the region, with ScotRail planning extra services to handle the crowds and reduce transport delays.

After Edinburgh, Oasis will move on to Ireland before touring Canada, the United States, South Korea, Japan, Australia and South America. A short message posted on X ahead of the concert — Edinburgh. Are you ready? — drew more than 10,000 likes as fans expressed their anticipation. The city is also amid the Fringe festival, adding to the year’s heavy travel and entertainment schedule.

Touring legends like Oasis show that stadium shows still pull huge crowds, even as fans increasingly crave intimate, smaller venues. The Edinburgh stop boosts local tourism but also tests transport and crowd management during a busy Fringe period. Staging three consecutive nights sharpens the sense of event as spectacle, while raising questions about sustainability and access for casual fans.

This tour also highlights a broader trend of reunions that blend nostalgia with global logistics. Cities hosting these gigs gain international attention, but the footprint—travel, accommodations and transportation costs—can fall hardest on fans and local services. The balance between cultural impact and practical costs will shape how such tours are planned in the future.
