We’ve taken a look back in our photo archive to find classic Britpop Edinburgh memories, whether that be bands from the genre born in the 90s such as Blur and Oasis playing the Capital, Britpop stars making surprise appearances, or Edinburgers going crazy for the “drunken guitar pop” as Noel Gallagher once called it.
We found photos of Britpop bands appearing here over the years, including Oasis, Blur, Suede, Ocean Colour Scene and The Charlatans, and our very own Finley Quaye.
