Oasis shared a heartfelt tribute to Edinburgh through social media "postcards" just hours before their final Murrayfield performance on Tuesday. The Gallagher brothers posted an Instagram slideshow capturing their favourite moments from the weekend's sold-out concerts.
The tribute featured thirteen video clips set to their track "The Masterplan", showcasing quintessentially Scottish moments from the shows. Among the highlights was a young lad playing the bagpipes and fans excitedly jumping up and down after walking through the Murrayfield stadium gates.
Other memorable clips showed a fan helping himself to a traditional roll and square sausage on an outside table before the gig. The countless empty crates of Tennent's piling up for recycling also made the tribute, along with footage of the incredible Red Arrows flypast across the stadium on Saturday evening.
Viral moments captured
The viral scenes of the "hero" Murrayfield Steward, named by fans as Polly, enthusiastically bopping along to Oasis tracks featured prominently. Additional heartwarming footage showed a young fan rocking out on the crowd whilst on top of someone's shoulders.
Another touching moment captured a couple embracing and sharing a kiss as they held their drinks up towards the stage. The final clip, from the end of the show, showed a couple outside the stadium slow dancing to "Champagne Supernova" as a dazzling firework display erupted over Murrayfield to conclude the gig.
Over 400 fans commented on the slideshow of "postcards". One person wrote: "Memories to last a lifetime." A second wrote: "Went on Saturday. It was unbelievable! Best night of my life. BIBLICAL."
Historic Scottish return
The Tuesday concert marked the end of Oasis's first Scottish performances in 16 years. Over 136,000 fans attended the weekend shows across Friday and Saturday nights, making it a significant milestone in the band's reunion tour.
A passionate fan went viral during the "Slide Away" performance, with Liam Gallagher sharing the footage on TikTok and calling it "biblical". Anais Gallagher attended the weekend shows and posted her own tribute to Scotland on Instagram.
Their last shows in Scotland were in 2009, before the Gallagher brothers' well-documented feud led to the band's split. The three Edinburgh concerts represented a triumphant return to Scottish soil after more than a decade away.
