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.
And with talk of Oasis possibly playing Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh next summer as part of a record-breaking reunion tour, we look at their previous Edinburgh shows including two previous stints at the home of Scottish rugby.
We found photos of other Britpop bands appearing here over the years, including Blur, Suede, Ocean Colour Scene and The Charlatans, and our very own Finley Quaye.

10. Dig Out Your Soul
Britpop kings Oasis brought their "Dig Out Your Soul" tour to Murrayfield Stadium in 2009. This, their final tour before splitting up after a fight backstage in Paris the same year, was the Manchester band's second appearance at the home of Scottish rugby after playing the venue in 2000 Photo: Ian Georgeson/ TSPL
