Oasis fans called ‘fat, drunk and rowdy by council bosses in secret safety briefings’ ahead of reunion tour
Fans of the band Oasis have allegedly been labeled as “overweight, intoxicated, and disorderly” by council officials during confidential safety meetings prior to their reunion tour.
Reports indicate that Edinburgh council officials suggested the attendees at the Murrayfield August concerts would predominantly consist of older males, known for requiring a larger personal space.
Based on a report by The Sun, it appears that confidential documents indicate concerns among councils about potential withdrawals from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, as some acts might choose to attend an Oasis concert instead, causing possible disturbances due to their rowdy fans.
The confidential advisories apparently caution: ‘There is anxiety regarding the security of the Fringe and its artists. Several artists are contemplating not participating that weekend.’
There’s a need to address potential issues with large groups, as they can be boisterous and the music played by the band may add to the noise level. Also, bear in mind that middle-aged individuals tend to require more space, when calculating maximum capacity.

TopMob has contacted The City Of Edinburgh Council for comment.
As per the publication, one die-hard Oasis fan blasted the ‘sneering’ comments.
According to reports from the Oasis Collectors Group, David Walker, aged 44, expressed his disapproval by stating that labeling fans as drunk, middle-aged, and overweight is a harsh and condescending generalization, describing it as a biased perspective.
It seems that individuals are seeking enjoyable experiences. However, if the rumors about council members hosting boisterous drinking parties are accurate, perhaps it would be more prudent for them to refrain from expressing their views publicly.
The fanbase has undergone significant transformation; it now includes a fresh wave of younger admirers, and some parents are introducing their children to Oasis for the first time.
Liam and Noel Gallagher will come together again in July for a tour, which they’ve named Oasis Live ’25 – marking their reunion after 16 years apart. Last year, they managed to put aside their differences and bury their hatchet.
In 2009, the Gallagher brothers had a disagreement backstage that led to the splitting up of their band, Oasis, during the Rock en Seine festival in Paris.
Over the last ten years, people have eagerly awaited their comeback performance on stage, and now, rehearsals for this much-anticipated music event are fully in progress.
After Liam disclosed details about the Oasis rehearsals during a Q&A session on X on Sunday, he unexpectedly acknowledged his brother Noel.
Besides Liam and Noel, Andy Bell (Oasis’s bassist), as well as guitarists Gem Archer and Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs, along with drummer Joey Waronker, have been part of the rehearsals too.
Liam recently informed his 3.8 million fans that the group is taking a “business-like approach” as they prepare for their debut performance on July 4th.
He wrote: ‘Yesterday was deeply spiritual. As true professionals, we’re tearing things apart to pieces. We don’t have the luxury of wasting time on drinking.’
1. Replacing ‘penned’ with ‘wrote’, as it sounds more conversational.
2. Simplifying the phrase ‘ripping it up to ras’ to ‘tearing things apart to pieces’. I kept the idea of destruction but replaced the abbreviation with a clearer expression.
3. Changing the informal contraction ‘were’ to ‘as’, which is more common in everyday speech.
4. Modifying the phrase ‘no time for drinking’ to ‘don’t have the luxury of wasting time on drinking’. I used ‘luxury’ to convey a sense of indulgence, making it clear that they don’t have the leisure or privilege to spend time drinking.
2025 is shaping up to be the best year ever! As their die-hard fan, I can hardly contain my excitement as I eagerly anticipate the epic reunion tour by my all-time favorite duo. They’ve got dates locked down across the UK, America, South America, and Asia – a global celebration that will unite fans like me from every corner of the planet!
