Yesterday’s concert was the first time in 16 years that Oasis have played in Scotland, and they are set to follow it up with two more performances at Murrayfield on Saturday and Tuesday evenings.

The band, which includes brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher, is then set to head to Ireland, Canada, the US, South Korea, Japan, Australia, and South America.
