Key Dates and Schedule
Oasis will play three massive nights in Edinburgh. Unlike previous tours where dates were scattered, this residency-style approach allows for a massive influx of fans.
Confirmed Show Dates
- Friday, August 8, 2025
- Saturday, August 9, 2025
- Tuesday, August 12, 2025
Event Timings (Estimated)
While final timings are subject to change closer to the event, the following schedule is based on the tour’s standard operating procedure for stadium shows:
- 15:00: Fan Zones/External Merch Stands open (approx.)
- 17:00: Stadium Doors Open
- 18:00: Cast (First Support Act)
- 19:00: Richard Ashcroft (Main Support Act)
- 20:15: Oasis
- 22:30: Curfew/Show Ends
Note on Curfew: Murrayfield sits in a residential area, so the 10:30 PM curfew is strictly enforced. Don’t expect the band to play past this time.
Venue: Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium
Murrayfield is the home of Scottish Rugby and the largest stadium in Scotland. For the Oasis gigs, it will host approximately 67,000 fans per night.
Seating vs. Standing
- The Pitch (Standing): This is the “General Admission” area. It is massive and uncovered. If you have a standing ticket, arrive early if you want to be near the front, as there is no “Golden Circle” separation for standard ticket holders.
- The Stands (Seated): Divided into North, East, South, and West stands.
- West Stand: The main stand, offering the best direct views.
- South Stand: Often where the temporary stage is located (or behind it), but for concerts, the stage is usually at the North end, making the South Stand the furthest away but offering a head-on view.
Accessibility
Murrayfield is well-equipped for accessible needs, but the sheer scale of the event means you must plan ahead.
- Wheelchair Platforms: Located in various stands.
- Blue Badge Parking: Extremely limited and must be pre-booked via the Scottish Rugby website.
- Sensory Rooms: Available but limited; contact the venue access team in advance.
Support Acts: A Britpop Revival
The Gallaghers have curated a lineup that pays homage to their 90s roots. You aren’t just seeing Oasis; you are seeing a celebration of the era.
Richard Ashcroft
The former frontman of The Verve is a close friend of Noel Gallagher. Expect a set filled with anthems like “Bitter Sweet Symphony,” “The Drugs Don’t Work,” and “Sonnet.” His solo track “C’mon People (We’re Making It Now)”—which Liam famously recorded with him—is likely to feature.
Cast
Liverpool legends Cast, fronted by John Power (formerly of The La’s), will open the show. Known for hits like “Fine Time” and “Walkaway,” they are the perfect energy-builders to get the crowd singing early.
Ticket Prices and Resale Rules
By now, primary tickets are sold out. However, the secondary market is active but strictly regulated.
Official Prices (Face Value)
- Pitch Standing: ~£151 (includes booking fees)
- Seated Tickets: £74 to £206 (depending on view and tier)
- Premium/Hospitality: £268 – £450+
The Resale Warning
Oasis management has implemented a strict “Anti-Tout” policy.
- Where to Buy: You should ONLY buy resale tickets via Ticketmaster Fan-to-Fan Resale or Twickets.
- Invalid Tickets: Tickets bought on Viagogo, StubHub, or vividseats may be cancelled. The barcode on your ticket is dynamic and tied to the purchaser’s account.
- ID Checks: Lead booker ID checks may be in operation. If you bought a ticket from a friend, ensure you have the official transfer via the ticket app.
Getting There: Transport and Logistics
Edinburgh is a compact city, but 67,000 people descending on one venue causes gridlock. Do not drive to the stadium.
By Tram (The Best Option)
The Edinburgh Tram system is the most efficient way to get to the gig.
- Stop: “Murrayfield Stadium” (right outside the turnstiles).
- Route: Runs from Edinburgh Airport to Newhaven, passing through the City Centre (Princes Street).
- Tip: Buy a “Day Ticket” on the app beforehand. Machines at the stops will have massive queues.
By Train
- Haymarket Station: This is the closest major station (a 20-minute walk or 5-minute tram ride). It is a major hub for trains from Glasgow, Fife, and England.
- Waverley Station: The main city station. It is a 45-minute walk to the stadium, but you can catch a tram or bus from outside.
By Bus
Lothian Buses run extensive services. Look for:
- Services: 12, 22, 26, 30, 31 (stop on Corstorphine Road).
- Airlink 100: Stops near the stadium on its way to/from the airport.
On Foot
If you are staying in the City Centre (West End), walking is often faster than waiting for a bus in traffic.
- Walk Time: Approx. 20–30 minutes from Haymarket.
- Atmosphere: The walk from Haymarket to Murrayfield is legendary, with thousands of fans singing in the streets.
Accommodation: Where to Stay
Hotel prices in Edinburgh skyrocket during August because the Oasis dates coincide with the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the world’s largest arts festival.
Strategic Locations
- Glasgow: It is only 45 minutes by train to Haymarket. Hotels in Glasgow will be significantly cheaper and more available.
- Fife (Dunfermline/Inverkeithing): Stay across the Forth Bridge and take the train or Park & Ride into the city.
- University Halls: Look for “Destiny Student” or university accommodation which rents out rooms in summer.
Setlist Predictions
Based on the tour rehearsals and legacy, expect a setlist that leans heavily on the first two albums (Definitely Maybe and (What’s the Story) Morning Glory?).
Likely Tracks:
- Rock ‘n’ Roll Star
- Columbia
- Supersonic
- Acquiesce
- Cigarettes & Alcohol
- The Masterplan
- Slide Away
- Don’t Look Back in Anger (Sung by Noel)
- Live Forever
- Encore: Champagne Supernova, I Am the Walrus.
