Fringe performers are moaning Oasis\u2019 decision t<\/a>o hold their reunion shows in Edinburgh <\/a>at the same time as the festival is causing chaos.<\/p>\n But the Oasis frontman, 52, hit back in front of 70,000 fans at his band\u2019s opening night at Murrayfield Stadium.<\/p>\n He said the annual arts event was for performers \u201cjuggling f***ing b******s\u201d, \u201cswallowing swords\u201d and doing \u201cs***ty card tricks\u201d.<\/p>\n Liam said: \u201cWhat\u2019s happening in Edinburgh then? What\u2019s all that thick s***?<\/p>\n \u201cPeople juggling f***ing b******s and that?<\/p>\n \u201cSwallowing swords… one-legged bicycles \u2013 what\u2019s all that s**t about? S***ty card tricks?\u201d<\/p>\n Among the performers complaining is comic Kate Smurthwaite, who said she had cancelled two performances due to the numbers of festival goers dropping due to the band\u2019s sold out gigs.<\/p>\n She wrote on social media: \u201cOasis should be more considerate,\u201d and claimed some performers had lost accommodation as landlords could make more money by letting rooms to Oasis fans.<\/p>\n Other Fringe performers have branded the impact of the Oasis tour on Edinburgh as \u201cdiabolical\u201d.<\/p>\n They say floods of drunk fans of the band have caused havoc at venues, with transport also grinding to a halt on gig days.<\/p>\n Hotel rooms have also been listed for a massive \u00a34,000 a night while Oasis is in town.<\/p>\n It has driven some performers at the festival to give up trying to get affordable accommodation \u2013 leaving them sleeping in their cars.<\/p>\n Liam\u2019s rant about the festival came seconds after he also blasted bosses at Edinburgh Council for branding the band\u2019s fans drunk, fat and old.<\/p>\n The councillors\u2019 opinions were revealed in a secret file obtained under Freedom of Information.<\/p>\n Moments after walking on stage at Murrayfield on Friday night, Liam said: \u201cOne second, where do I start here with everyone at the city council, the f***ing slags.<\/p>\n \u201cOne billion pounds we\u2019re bringing to this city over the next three days \u2013 \u00a31billion.<\/p>\n \u201cBut you won\u2019t see any of it because the Lord Provost will be splitting it between his posh ugly f***ing mates.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cStill waiting for a f***ing apology.\u201d<\/p>\n He topped it off with another rant at the Saturday night Oasis gig, adding: \u201cTwo billion pounds we\u2019ll have brought into this city over the next few days \u2013 two f***ing billion \u2013 and you\u2019ll see none of it.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd they\u2019ve got the f***ing cheek to slag us lot off.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In a vicious stage rant, Liam Gallagher has made clear he isn\u2019t a fan of the Edinburgh Fringe…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":336672,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8816],"tags":[748,1102,4884,14576,25181,712,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-336671","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-edinburgh","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-edinburgh","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-liam-gallagher","12":"tag-oasis","13":"tag-scotland","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115012157188574305","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/336671","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=336671"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/336671\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/336672"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=336671"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=336671"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=336671"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Liam](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/0_BigBrotherRecordings1.jpg\")
