Performers at the Edinburgh Fringe are facing even higher accommodation costs this year due to the city's hosting of the Oasis reunion tour. Many artists, including comedian Marc Borrows, describe the impact as 'catastrophic', with some seeing their rent increase by thousands of pounds. Newcomers like Amy Albright are resorting to living in their cars to afford participating, while others rely on bursaries and loans to cover expenses. The situation has reignited debate about the long-standing issue of unaffordable housing during the festival, with calls for broader solutions beyond this year's unique challenges.
