Price of a pint of beer for Oasis at Croke Park confirmed
More than 80,000 'mad fer it' fans will attend each concert on Saturday and Sunday (August 16 and 17), which have been marked by the band's now traditional drone show above the venue ahead of this weekend's festivities.
A pint of Guinness at Croke Park for the shows will cost punters €7.35, while a Rockshore pint will set you back €8. Cider is the same at €8 a pop, while a 187ml of red, white or rose wine costs €9. Drink prices at Croke Park
So far, the reunion tour has broken an array of records, with its Wembley Stadium leg notching a particularly important gong. Oasis fans set a new record for England's national stadium by drinking an average of 250,000 pints across each of their five nights there.
To do so, attendees parted with some serious cash, with a pint of Stella Artois at the venue bars setting customers back £7.85 (approximately €9.10) while a Magners Cider was priced at £7.75 (approximately €9).
Elsewhere, at the more recent Murrayfield Stadium concerts, a pint of Heineken amounted to £7.85(approximately €9.10), with a half pint of the lager costing £4.30 (approximately €5).
Amstel was a little cheaper, at £7.50 (approximately €8.70), and a full pint of Inch's cider cost the same.
Heineken 0% was available, and at a slightly cheaper price of £6 (approximately €6.95), with a gluten-free lager option valued at £7 (approximately €8.10).
Back in the brothers' home city of Manchester, during their Heaton Park gigs, pints of both Brooklyn Pilsner and Brothers Apple Cider set fans back £6.50 apiece (approximately €7.50), considerably cheaper than the first two comeback performances at Cardiff's Principality Stadium.
There, a pint of Heineken cost £8.20 (approximately €9.50), as did a Dark Fruits, Strongbow or Murphy's.

WATCH: Hundreds of Oasis fans sing Don't Look Back in Anger outside Croke Park
Hundreds of Oasis fans who were unable to secure the highly coveted tickets to the band's two Croke Park reunion shows gathered outside the stadium in a mass sing-along on Saturday night. Several videos have been uploaded to social media documenting the crowds in Dublin 3, standing within earshot of the rapturous atmosphere within the venue. One such clip, posted by Robbie Kane of Dublin Live on X, formerly known as Twitter, shows a crowd bursting into the chorus of Don't Look Back in Anger, a song which writer Noel Gallagher has admitted has transcended the band itself. "It's a song that's still growing," Oasis' elder Gallagher brother said during an interview with Virgin Radio, adding: "it's insane." In another interview with the BBC, Noel spoke about how the song had become a rally cry for the victims of the Manchester Arena bombing, which killed 22 people during an Ariana Grande concert in 2017. Oasis fans at Croke Park In the subsequent vigils held after the attack, hundreds began to sing Don't Look Back in Anger as an ode to the victims and the city of Manchester, where Liam and Noel were born. "I was watching it happen on the news," Noel admitted. "I was speechless. It's such a tragic event, it really brought it home to me that, in times like took a song to bring people together. "I can't even think of the words to express what it is; it's just the power of music. It's a thing that brings people together." In the near-minute-long video Robbie uploaded, dozens can be seen smiling and looking around as even more sing along to Noel from outside the ground. Oasis will perform the second of their two Croke Park gigs on Sunday (August 17) before moving on to the North American leg of their world tour. So far, they have played to around 1.5million fans across Cardiff, Manchester, London, Edinburgh and now Dublin, with shows in Toronto, Chicago, East Rutherford, Pasadena and Mexico City lined up. After this stretch of the historic reunion, the brothers will return to London's Wembley Stadium for two more concerts before setting off once more for South Korea.

What to expect if you're going to Oasis Sunday after one of the best gigs ever
I was lucky enough to get tickets for the first sold-out Oasis spectacular at Croke Park and it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. The show marked Noel and Liam Gallagher's first live performance together in more than 16 years, following their bitter break up in 2009. I thought the Croke Park gig was 'everything Irish fans could have wished for, with a little bit extra sprinkled on top'. You can read my review here. If you are heading along today, here are some pointers that should help you get even more out of what could well be one of the best nights out of your life. Get to the city centre early and soak up the atmosphere The excitement on the streets of Dublin on Saturday was palpable. The good weather and the feverish anticipation about the concert seemed to have everyone in good form. Oasis Fans Mike and Julie from Manchester in Temple Bar ahead of the Croke Park show on Sunday (Image: SAM BOAL/Collins Photos) Bars in the city centre were packed out from early afternoon. Houses were flying Oasis flags, Dublin City council signs were in the band's branding and shops and hotels all seemed to be blasting out Oasis' greatest hits. The sense of '90s nostalgia was in the air and I don't recall ever going to a Croke Park concert with such pre-show excitement. And the Oasis merch shop must have done a brisk trade as everyone seemed to be kitted out in the band's t-shirts. Bucket hats and Adidas sportswear were the uniform of choice for the supporters who gathered in the streets and bars close to the stadium, which did not open until 5pm. Use public transport Public transport was the easiest way to get close to the stadium. Dublin Bus, DART and commuter train services are running additional capacity, with Drumcondra and Connolly stations a short walk from the venue. Road closures and parking restrictions will be in place around Croke Park. Oasis fans at Croke Park Check out the list of items banned from the stadium Don't bring any large bags or backpacks to the stadium as they are not allowed and there is nowhere to store personal items until after the show. Reflective jackets, Chinese lanterns and iPads are on the list of what can't be brought into Croke Park, which is long and as strict as you expect for large public gatherings in 2025. Air horns, flagpoles, selfie sticks, prams, cameras with detachable lenses and fold-up chairs are all stopped. Check out the full list of banned items here. Expect lengthy queues at Croke Park bars and food stalls It's best to enjoy your few beers and have some food before you get to the stadium as the queues inside Croke Park were lengthy until Oasis took to the stage. In the Hogan Stand yesterday, it took more than 30 minutes to get a drink from the bar. However, after Oasis went onstage, the queues disappeared so if you do get thirsty you will have options. The stage times advertised are real Having been to hundreds of shows as a reviewer over the past 22 years, I generally never expect bands to come on stage when the published set times say they will. Liam and Noel arrived on stage bang on time (Image: Philip Fitzpatrick) However, this Oasis tour is an exception. Cast were onstage at exactly 6pm on Saturday and Richard Ashcroft walked out at 7pm. Liam and Noel entered the stage at bang on 8.15 as advertised. So get in early and get your seats (or your space on the pitch if you are standing). Dress sensibly You can expect a few pints of beer and other drinks to be spilled, so it's probably wise not to wear your fanciest clothes. You'll need comfortable walking shoes for after the concert as the traffic management plan means you'll be on your feet for a while before you reach an area where you can hail a taxi or get a bus. Wear earplugs Noise levels were regularly between 100dB and 110dB throughout the first concert. It wasn't always the music, as the screams from the excited crowd were also deafening. It is no harm to wear protective earplugs and you will still enjoy the music. Headphone brand Sennheiser's parent company Phonak manufactures Serenity Choice Music earplugs specifically for gigs and they will reduce noise levels by between 10dB and 17dB. Enjoy the set At the first Croke Park concert, Liam, Noel, Bonehead, Gem, Andy and Joey played the same two-hour setlist that they have performed on every night of the Oasis Live 25 tour so far. They opened with Hello before playing Acquiesce, Morning Glory, Some Might Say, Bring It On Down, Cigarettes & Alcohol, Fade Away, Supersonic and Roll With It. Liam then left the stage and Noel took over vocal duties for Talk Tonight, Half the World Away and Little By Little before Liam rejoined the action for D'You Know What I Mean, Stand By Me, Cast No Shadow, Slide Away, Whatever, Live Forever and Rock and Roll Star. The encore started with Noel singing The Masterplan and Don't Look Back in Anger before Liam took over on the microphone for Wonderwall and Champagne Supernova.

Oasis Dublin LIVE updates Day 2 as Gallagher bros look to repeat Croke Park epic
They came, they saw and they absolutely conquered. Expectations for a concert staged in Ireland have rarely, if ever, been as high as they were for Oasis' first show here since 2008 on Saturday night. And it's safe to say from the reaction of the vast majority of the 80,000 people inside GAA HQ last night, those expectations were not just matched but blown out of the water by the Gallagher brothers and their able bandmates. While the sense of FOMO is very much real amongst the hundreds of thousands of punters who would love to see it for themselves, the good news for another 80,000 or so lucky souls set to pack into Croke Park is they're set to do it all over again this evening. And if you're not going yourself, why not do the next best thing and follow our live blog for updates, reaction, pictures, videos and more throughout the day, right up until the very last note of what is set to be another unforgettable night. Follow live updates in our blog below. 11:55 Conor Heneghan Writing for the Irish Mirror, Mark Kavanagh described Saturday night's show as 'a magnificent event, everything Irish fans could have wished for, with a little bit extra sprinkled on top'...
