The operator, which runs the East Coast Mainline trains between Edinburgh Waverley and London King’s Cross, has promised “a number of surprises on board” for fans travelling from Edinburgh to the capital for the July 25 show.
The ‘She’s Electric’ service will leave from Edinburgh Waverley at 9am and arrive at King’s Cross by lunchtime. The service stops in Newcastle, Durham, Darlington, Northallerton, York, Doncaster, Newark Northgate and Peterborough.
King’s Cross has particular significance for Oasis given that their first ever London gig was at a nearby pub, while the video for ‘Supersonic’, was shot on the roof of a nearby building and uses the station as a backdrop.
“There are plenty of Oasis fans at LNER and we couldn’t let the first London gig go off without marking the occasion. There will be a few surprises on board that will hopefully make our customers feel like a Rock N Roll Star, and while our trains might not be supersonic, they’ll whizz Oasis fans to London faster than a cannonball.”
Oasis’ tour will see Liam and Noel Gallagher perform on stage together for the first time in 16 years. It is currently made up of multiple gigs at Manchester’s Heaton Park, London’s Wembley Stadium, Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, Dublin’s Croke Park, and Edinburgh’s Murrayfield Stadium.
In anticipation of the tour, which kicks off on July 4 in Cardiff, sources close to the band told NME that the band’s line-up will include Andy Bell, Gem Archer, Paul “Bonehead” Arthurs and Joey Waronker, alongside Noel and Liam Gallagher.
Meanwhile, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has warned that Ticketmaster may have “breached the law” and “misled fans” during the Oasis ticket sale last summer.
The consultation follows the controversy surrounding the Oasis Live ‘25 ticket sale last summer, which left thousands of fans infuriated as the cost of tickets appeared to surge due to demand without warning. Both the CMA and the European Commission are investigating the issue.
Oasis have said that they “at no time had any awareness that dynamic pricing was going to be used” in the sale, claiming that “prior meetings between promoters, Ticketmaster and the band’s management resulted in a positive ticket sale strategy, which would be a fair experience for fans, including dynamic ticketing to help keep general ticket prices down as well as reduce touting, the execution of the plan failed to meet expectations.”
