Boozy Oasis fans smash Wembley Stadium record with staggering amount of pints
According to new figures released by Delaware North, the company behind Wembley Stadium's catering operations, Oasis fans have set a new stadium record by guzzling more than a quarter of a million pints of beer per night during the band's current run of shows.
That's not a typo, that's 250,000 pints being poured every evening the Gallagher brothers take the stage in London and put on a show many called 'a spiritual experience.'
With three out of seven scheduled Wembley gigs completed, and two more lined up this weekend (Saturday, August 2, and Sunday, August 3), the numbers are already staggering, and the final two dates in September are poised to push the total even higher.
To put it in perspective: Coldplay fans bought an average of 120,000 pints per show during their 2024 run at the stadium and Taylor Swift's Eras Tour dates sold a comparatively modest 40,000 pints per night.
Oasis fans? They've doubled Coldplay's numbers and outpaced Swifties by more than sixfold.
With pint prices at Wembley clocking in at £8.20, that translates to £2.05 million in beer sales every night. With approximately 80,000 attendees per gig, the average is just over three pints per person.
But with many fans opting for wine, soft drinks, or abstaining altogether, the actual beer drinkers are likely knocking back far more.
The logistics behind the scenes are no less intense. Each Oasis show reportedly requires around 4,500 kegs to be moved in and out of the stadium, prompting what The Caterer described as a 'turf war' behind the scenes.
With cold storage space running low, catering staff have reportedly resorted to stashing beer kegs in cupboards, under escalators, and in any available nook, a frustrating factor for the cleaning and maintenance teams. More Trending
Even the pubs surrounding Wembley have seen a surge in sales as fans flock to them before and after the shows.
While some might raise concerns about excessive drinking at concerts, for others, the numbers are a testament to the unique social energy that Oasis continues to command, with old friends reuniting and reliving their rowdy youth.
After all, this is a band whose lyrics famously toast Cigarettes & Alcohol — and whose fans now seem determined to toast right back.

Jason Kelce opens up on music career... and the chances of a collaboration with Taylor Swift
Jason Kelce opens up on music career... and the chances of a collaboration with Taylor Swift Jason Kelce is no stranger to the music business. Considering the pop star that his brother is dating, questions about a potential collaboration with Taylor Swift were addressed in a recent interview. The former Philadelphia Eagles center has previously been involved in two Christmas albums with some of his teammates - branding the group 'The Philly Specials'. Kelce, the 37-year-old father of four and co-host of the popular 'New Heights' podcast, revealed that he also took a keen interest in music when he was in high school. He spoke about the Christmas albums and his younger days as a musician on the 'Exciting Mics' podcast with current Eagles defensive stars Cooper DeJean and Reed Blankenship. 'We've done three Christmas albums - Me, Jordan [Mailata], and Lane [Johnson] - as well as a bunch of other Philly artists: the drummer for The War on Drugs, Charlie Hall, very connected in the Philly music scene and just music scene in general,' Kelce said. 'We've had a bunch of people who are actual musicians help us make that. And then Mailata... he can carry a tune.' Jason Kelce opened up about his musical career and the albums he made for Christmas Kelce also revealed to the 'Exciting Mics' podcast - hosted by Cooper DeJean (L) and Reed Blankenship (R) - that he played saxophone in his high school's jazz band DeJean asked if Jason would join Taylor Swift on stage if asked, which Jason shot down Kelce also opened up about being in a school band in his teenage years: 'I played saxophone in high school, that was a great time. I was in the jazz band. 'We would tour every spring - other cities to compete against other jazz bands. [We] went to Chicago, New York, Boston, and then - for some reason - Carolina.' 'I played bari[tone] sax, to be specific. And I now have a bari sax, but I also have four kids and a lot of other things happening so don't play it. I want to though, I want to get back into it.' After that revelation, DeJean asked Kelce if he'd ever play on-stage with pop icon Taylor Swift if she ever asked him to. 'Oh my gosh, I was about to say would I do it? I don't even know if I would do it, I'd be so nervous. I got nervous playing in front of my parents,' Kelce joked. Jason then praised the 'Cruel Summer' songstress, who has been dating his brother - Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce - for nearly two years. 'Listen, the music is... I don't think it was made for my demographic in mind, right? But when you go, you'll realize you know all these songs. Like even though you might not know you do, you've heard them,' Jason told the pair after they both said they'd never been to a Swift concert. 'The first show I went to over in London, my brother was telling me "Dude, this thing... you're gonna have so much fun". And I'm going there and I'm like "Dude, this is a blast". Like everybody is so into it and you realize you know all of them. 'Maybe not to the point where you know every single word, but you've heard so many of her songs - there's no way living in America that you haven't. It's outrageous, and the fans are so rabid about it.'

Oasis drone show lights up Edinburgh sky above Murrayfield as fans flock to reunion gigs
It was a Champagne Superdroner in the sky. The skies above Edinburgh were lit up with an impressive drone show tonight - ahead of Manchester music legends Oasis taking over Murrayfield Stadium. Liam and Noel Gallaghe r are set to play three nights at the venue from tomorrow. And ahead of the performances, drones were used to make the band's famous logo. The drones shone purple over the rugby stadium, in a slick display of the lower case letter bordered stamp, which could be seen across the city. The newly-reunited band played their last show at the stadium in 2009. And sixteen years on they will get back on stage as part of their only Scottish dates in their reunion tour. The shows follow a number of dates in Cardiff, Manchester and London, with one fan tragically dying at Wembley Stadium after following from the top tier of a stand. After their three nights in the Scottish capital, the D'You Know What I Mean? rockers embark on the foreign leg of their world tour, which takes them to America, South Korea, Japan, and Australia.

It comes as the city's council officials were blasted as "snobby" after suggesting Oasis fans descending on the city for the shows are old, raucous and overweight. Scottish Secretary Ian Murray blasted comments aboutt the band's sold-out reunion tour as "classist" and said it was part of a wider issue in Scottish society. He made reference to the fact that drinking alcohol is allowed at rugby matches but not football games. He said: "I think it's snobby. I mean, Murrayfield is a great example. "You can go and see Scotland versus the All Blacks on a Saturday at three o'clock and get as ratted as you want sitting watching the rugby, and people do, they spend most of their time at the bar." 'And I remember my team, Hearts, played Celtic there the following day on the Sunday, when Hampden was out of use for the Commonwealth Games, and there was a complete ban on drinking in the stands for the football fans. "That's just classist and snobbery.' Asked if he wanted to bring back drinking at football stadiums, the Scottish Secretary joked it was either that 'or not have rugby drinking'. In June, Edinburgh council came under fire from Oasis fans, and the band itself, after safety briefings showed officials' concerns about the crowds descending on the city for the group's performance at Murrayfield, which clashes with the Fringe. One note from the documents showed council officials warning that 'middle-aged men take up more room, consider this when working out occupancy'. Another detailed 'concern about crowds of Oasis on weekends as they are already rowdy and the tone of the band'. It added: 'Concerned about the safety of the Fringe and its performers. Many performers are considering not attending for that weekend.' One document suggested there would be 'medium to high intoxication' at the concert, and to expect a 'substantial amount of older fans', but added there had been 'minimal arrests' at recent events involving either of the Gallagher brothers. Responding on social media at the time, Liam Gallagher said: 'To the Edinburgh council I've heard what you said about Oasis fans and quite frankly your attitude f****** stinks I'd leave town that day if I was any of you lot.' In a second post, he added: 'I'd love to see a picture of all the people on the Edinburgh council bet there's some real stunning individuals.' City of Edinburgh Council was approached for comments.
