It comes after council officials were accused of suggesting the band’s fans are “drunk, middle-aged and fat”, after documents were leaked which showed bosses raising concerns that the band’s comeback tour would clash with the Edinburgh Fringe festival.
One note from the documents show officials warning that “middle aged men take up more room, consider this when working out occupancy”.

And one document suggests there will be “medium to high intoxication” at the concert, and to expect a “substantial amount of older fans”, but adds there have been “minimal arrests” at recent Gallagher events.

At the band’s first of three gigs in Murrayfield on Friday, Liam Gallagher paused the show to hit back at council bosses, the Daily Record reports.
He said: “One second, where do I start here with everyone at the city council, the fucking slags.
“£1 billion we’re bringing to this city over the next three days. £1bn.
“But you won’t see any of it because the Lord Provost will be splitting it between [his] posh ugly fucking mates.”
Liam previously responded to the leaked documents on social media, where he said: “To the Edinburgh council I’ve heard what you said about Oasis fans and quite frankly your attitude fucking stinks I’d leave town that day if I was any of you lot.”
He added in a second post: “I’d love to see a picture of all the people on the Edinburgh council bet there’s some real STUNING individuals.”

During Friday’s gig, Noel Gallagher also made his feelings clear on the Edinburgh Fringe, which sees thousands of people flock to the city for the month of August.

“What the fuck’s going on in Edinburgh. All this jugglers and sword swallowing swords and all that shit. Load of fucking bollocks,” he told fans.
Oasis are set to perform their second gig at Murrayfield on Saturday, with the third taking place on Tuesday.
Their Saturday gig also coincides with a major Orange Walk through the city centre, as well as the launch of the Edinburgh International Book Festival.
