Is it just me, or does the cosmos seem to be tossing a cosmic curveball as Liam Gallagher steps up to defend Oasis fans from some rather cheeky remarks by Edinburgh Council? With Mercury stirring the pot in fiery Aries, it’s no surprise that tempers—and tweets—are flaring ahead of the band’s much-anticipated reunion tour this summer. The local council allegedly branded Oasis fans as ‘fat, drunk and lairy,’ throwing shade just as excitement spirals for the brothers Gallagher’s first on-stage reunion in years. Liam, never one to bite his tongue, fired back on social media, calling out the council’s attitude and showing his fierce loyalty to the fans. Meanwhile, Edinburgh officials have been caught in a PR jam over concerns about rowdy crowds and, surprisingly, middle-aged men ‘taking up more room.’ Astrology might suggest that with Venus in tactful Pisces soon to grace the scene, cooler heads will prevail—but until then, the drama is as electric as an Oasis guitar riff.

Liam Gallagher has taken to social media to defend his fans after a local council allegedly described Oasis fans as ‘fat, drunk and lairy’.
Excitement is building ahead of this summer’s Oasis tour, which sees Liam and Noel finally reunite on stage.
Liam has long had a big presence on social media, in particular Twitter, and took to the site earlier this year to reassure fans who questioned ticket prices, after the length of the set list was revealed.
Although ticket issues have proven to be the biggest talking point since the reunion tour was first confirmed, Edinburgh Council officials have now landed themselves in hot water after some of their alleged comments ahead of the performance at the Scottish Gas Murrayfield Stadium in August.
A freedom of information request to the council revealed that the local authority is ‘concerned about the safety of the Fringe and its performers. Many performers are considering not attending for that weekend. There is concern about crowds… as they are already rowdy… and the tone of the band.’

There was also seemingly a dig at the weight of anyone attending, which read: “Middle-aged men take up more room. Consider this when working out occupancy.”
Gallagher quickly got wind of it and was keen to defend his fans, writing on Twitter: “To the Edinburgh council I’ve heard what you said about OASIS fans and quite frankly your attitude f*****g stinks I’d leave town that day if I was any of you lot.”
And now, the council has now responded to the backlash.
In a statement to LADbible, Culture and Communities Convener, Councillor Margaret Graham, said: “We’re very proud to host the biggest and best events in Edinburgh throughout the year, which bring in hundreds of millions of pounds to the local economy and provide unparalleled entertainment for our residents and visitors.

“As with any major event which takes place in the city, we prepare extensively alongside our partners to ensure the safety and best possible experience of everyone involved – and Oasis are no different. No two events are the same in terms of requirements or planning and our multi-agency approach reflects this appropriately.
“We’re also working closely with residents in the local area to make sure these concerts pass off as smoothly as possible. Over the past few years, we’ve hosted many similar events and managed to strike the right balance between communicating well with residents and fulfilling the needs of major events and I have no doubt we can do so once again. We always look to learn lessons from previous years to update and improve on our plans.
“We’re all looking forward to seeing Oasis take to the stage this August and I’m sure that they’ll ‘live forever’ as some of the most memorable concerts ever performed at Murrayfield.”
