Liam Gallagher Hits Back at Remarks That Oasis Fans are ‘Rowdy, Intoxicated, Middle-Aged Men’

Liam Gallagher has responded to remarks made by Edinburgh Council that Oasis fans are 'rowdy, intoxicated, middle-aged men.'

The briefing involved the council, promoters DF Concerts, security firm G4S, Police Scotland, the Scottish Ambulance Service and local transport providers including Lothian Buses, Edinburgh Trams, and ScotRail. A number of concerns were raised by officials, including about fans of Oasis “on weekends as they are already rowdy”, as well as “the tone of the band.” The paper also said that the council, meanwhile, suggested that the 210,000 gig-goers posed a risk to the Edinburgh Fringe and its performers, which is expected to attract more than three million visitors between Aug. 1-25. It also noted that the crowd at Murrayfield Stadium, which can hold 70,000 fans a night, may feature a number of “middle-aged men,” stating they “take up more room” and that promoters should “consider” these factors when “working out occupancy.” DF Concerts added that the audience would be “energetic and high-spirited” with a “medium to high intoxication.”
