More info The Oasis reunion tour will come to Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium in August and while they take in the music that hasn't been heard live for 15 years, there's no doubt that many revellers will have a pint of lager in hand. The Murrayfield gigs will be the first time that Oasis will grace the Edinburgh stage since 2009, just before the Gallagher brothers had their infamous falling out that led to over a decade long break from the band - so it's no wonder Scottish fans will want to celebrate, reports The Daily Record. Data from Alliance Online suggests that each attendee will drink around 2.5 pints on average during the band's 19 shows across the UK and Ireland, equating to over 3.9million pints of beer in total. Using survey data and venue capacities, their study explores the scale of beer consumption at each Oasis gig venue and places the figures into perspective by comparing them to the volume of everyday items. The Murrayfield gigs are taking place on August 8, 9, and 12, with a total capacity of 201,432. During these three gigs alone, fans are expected to drink enough beer to fill 1,589 baths, or 79,454 bucket hats. This is also the equivalent of 63,563 goldfish bowls or 5,201 car fuel tanks. Over the 19 dates of the Oasis reunion tour, roughly 1,543,889 fans are expected to fill five of the UK and Ireland's biggest stadiums, and they're estimated to sink an incredible 3,859,723 pints of beer in the process. In fact, over two million litres of beer are expected to be consumed at Oasis' reunion tour, which is enough to fill 609,000 bucket hats. The total volume of beer expected to be sunk on the tour equates to roughly 20 standard swimming pools, 12,000 bathtubs, or nearly half a million goldfish bowls. Fans are also expected to consume enough beer to fill almost 40,000 car fuel tanks and over 43,000 beer kegs. Wembley Stadium is projected to account for nearly 900,000 litres of beer consumed over the seven-night-run, the highest volume among the venues. With a capacity of 630,000, Wembley will see an estimated 4,970 baths worth of beer consumed - that's roughly 248,500 bucket hats, 198,800 goldfish bowls, or 16,265 car fuel tanks. Principality Stadium in Cardiff has a capacity of 147,862, and an estimated 1,166 baths or 58,323 bucket hats worth of beer will be poured across the two shows - enough to fill 46,659 goldfish bowls or 3,818 car fuel tanks. Over the four dates at Heaton Park, Manchester, with a capacity of 399,995, an impressive 3,156 baths of beer will be consumed. This is the equivalent of 157,776 bucket hats, 126,221 goldfish bowls, or 10,327 car fuel tanks. Croke Park, Dublin, with a 164,600 capacity, will consume 1,299 baths worth of beer across the two gigs, roughly 64,926 bucket hats, 51,940 goldfish bowls, or 4,250 car fuel tanks.

Almost four million pints of beer are expected to be drunk over the entire Oasis reunion tour. The Oasis reunion tour officially kicks off in Cardiff on Friday, July 4. Tens of thousands of fans will gather in the Welsh capital to celebrate the recently reunited Gallagher brothers. And while they take in the music that hasn't been heard live for 15 years, there's no doubt many revellers will have a pint of lager in their hand and a bucket hat on their head.

Britain's most expensive pint revealed and it's NOT in London… where does your town rank?
Read on to find out which town serves budget-busting brews BEER OH DEAR Britain's most expensive pint revealed and it's NOT in London… where does your town rank? A SMALL market town boasts the UK's priciest pints with pub-goers paying an average of £7. A beer in Witney in Oxfordshire — which used to have David Cameron as its MP — is now around 50p more expensive than in London. 1 A beer in Witney in Oxfordshire, pictured, is now around 50p more expensive than in London Credit: Alamy Other places where it costs more than £6 for blowing the froth off a cold one include Brighton and Godalming in Surrey. The Pint Report, by Online Marketing Surgery, said: 'It's clear that prices in certain areas are well beyond the national average. "This suggests a noticeable divide in cost, depending on region, particularly in parts of London and the South East where higher living costs may be influencing prices." An Alliance Online spokeswoman said: 'The Welsh city of Wrexham is crowned the cheapest place in the UK for a beer. 'Famous for Wrexham AFC, headed up by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney, their fans will be happy to know that they have access to bargain beer after a match.' Last month, Deadpool star Ryan, 48, unveiled a special 'bargain' beer to toast his club's promotion. A separate study found Wrexham is the cheapest for beer at £2 a pint, while the UK average now sits at £4.83. The cost of popular brands in the capital has also climbed, with a pint of Guinness reaching £6.45, Birra Moretti £7.17, and Camden Hells £7.05 since February. In contrast, the Midlands boasts the cheapest average pint in Great Britain, priced at £4.68. The priciest and cheapest places in UK to buy a beer Tennent's lager is the most affordable option there at £3.50, followed by Carlsberg at £3.72. Meanwhile, Foster's and Greene King IPA are slightly pricier at £3.80 and £3.85, respectively. However, the survey revealed that pint prices in the Midlands increased by 5.15% between January and April, while London bucked the trend with a 1.22% decrease during the same period.

The 7 foods you MUST move to the fridge during the UK heatwave
With temperatures expected to soar this weekend, many Brits will be planning a BBQ or al fresco lunch. But before you even think about cooking, experts say you should think about reorganising your kitchen cupboards. During heatwaves, some foods that are usually stored in the cupboard may no longer be safe there, and instead should be moved to the fridge. The combination of high temperatures and improper food handling can create an ideal environment for rapid bacteria growth, which poses a serious health risk. Controversially, the experts say that ketchup, which is usually fine to keep at room temperature, should go in the fridge during hot spells. 'Periods of extreme heat increase the risks associated with improper food handling,' Rachael Kiss from Alliance Online, explained. 'Even small lapses in food hygiene can have significant consequences in warm weather.' So, is it time to give your kitchen a summer refresh? Peanut butter – a breakfast staple that many keep in their kitchen cupboard – should be put in the fridge as it can go rancid faster in the heat, experts said. Chocolate, which can melt and develop a while 'bloom' once cooled again, is also better off stored at a colder temperature. Although storing bread in the fridge can make it go stale faster, it may be better than it going mouldy in the cupboard, Ms Kiss explained. Condiments – including ketchup, mustard and jam – 'usually do okay' in the cupboard but last longer in the fridge during warm weather. Certain fruits, such as berries, also spoil faster at higher temperatures and should be placed in the fridge. Stone fruits like peaches and nectarines can also ripen too quickly in the heat. Open sauces and spreads should be moved to the fridge, and even unopened sauces may benefit from a cooler temperature, Ms Kiss said. Finally cakes and pastries with cream or icing – which are much more prone to spoilage – should also be stored in the fridge. Although storing bread in the fridge (as pictured here) can make it go stale faster, it may be better than it going mouldy in the cupboard, Ms Kiss said Other food safety tips during higher temperatures include using insulated bags or cool boxes when shopping for chilled or frozen items, and avoiding leaving groceries in a hot car for long periods. Appliance thermometers should be used to ensure fridges and freezers are at the correct temperature – 5°C and -18°C respectively. 'Don't leave perishable foods at room temperature for more than two hours – or just one hour if the temperature exceeds 32°C,' Ms Kiss added. 'Be cautious with outdoor eating. Whether it's a BBQ or picnic, ensure meats are cooked to the correct temperature and not left out too long in the sun.' Keeping raw and cooked foods separate – as well as using different utensils and boards for preparation – is also important. Earlier today, forecasters announced that Britain will enjoy temperatures of up to 32°C this week as some places will be hotter than parts of southern Europe. An official heatwave is recorded when areas reach a certain temperature for three days in a row, with thresholds varying from 25°C (77F) to 28°C (82F) in different parts. In London - which has a 28°C threshold - the mercury will hit 27°C (81F) today and tomorrow, 29°C (84F) on Thursday, 31°C (88F) on Friday and 32°C (90F) on Saturday. Experts from Which? previously revealed the correct spot for every single item in your fridge (not during a heatwave) including raw meat, leftovers, and condiments The heat will also spread north towards the end of this week, with Manchester and Newcastle enjoying temperatures into the late 20°Cs (low 80Fs) by the weekend. Meanwhile the UK Health Security Agency has issued a heat-health alert for all of England apart from the North, running from 12pm tomorrow until 6pm on Sunday. The heatwave means some parts of the country will surpass temperatures in holiday hotspots such as Lisbon in Portugal and Barcelona in Spain, which are predicted to reach 29°C (84F) on Saturday, and Nice, France, where it will be 30°C (86F). Forecasters have warned some rain is still possible in parts by the end of the week, with localised, heavy showers forecast depending on how humid it gets.

Scotland's cheapest places for beer named as 'drinker's paradise' town tops list
Four Scottish cities are also included on the roundup. The cheapest places for a pint of beer in Scotland have been named. Coming in at number one on the list is an East Ayrshire town which has been hailed as a "drinker's paradise". Ahead of the peak of the summer season, hospitality experts Alliance Online researched the average cost of a beer in cities and towns across Scotland. They then put together a list of the 10 places around the country where a refreshing pint is cheapest. Topping Alliance Online's list at number one is Kilmarnock in East Ayrshire, situated around just 40 minutes out of Glasgow by car. According to the experts, the average cost of a pint in the town is £3.25. Although the town is probably more famous for pies than pints, cost-effective Kilmarnock offers many different pubs and bars. Maggie's Bar and Kitchen serves up both food and drink, while The Tartan Sheep and The Standing Man both show a variety of live sport. Alliance Online stated: "At £3.25 a pint, the town boasts the cheapest beer in the country. The town has over 30 pubs and bars all in close proximity to the centre, so Scots might call this a drinker's paradise." Meanwhile, placing at number two on the experts' list are both Dunfermline and Glenrothes in Fife. The cost of a beer in both the city and the town was found to be £3.40. Dunfermline is Scotland's newest city, and is home to a huge variety of pubs and beers to visit. Popular choices include the East Port Bar, PJ Molloys, and The Seven Kings Pub Restaurant. On the other hand, Glenrothes also offers a wide range of drinking venues to choose from. Top picks include The Fettykil Fox and Pinkertons. Rounding out the top five cheapest places for beer in Scotland are Ayr and Falkirk. When ordering a pint in either destination, punters should expect to pay £3.50 on average. Other locations to feature on the experts' list are Dundee, Cumbernauld, Greenock, and Stirling. The average cost of a pint in Dundee was recorded as £3.67, while it was found to be £4.00 in the other three destinations. Completing Alliance Online's top 10 places with the cheapest beer in Scotland is Inverness. Those ordering a pint in the cultural capital of the Scottish Highlands were found to pay an average of £4.02. Elsewhere, the cheapest location for a pint of beer in the whole of the UK was found to be Wrexham in Wales. The experts found that the average cost of a beer in the city is just £2. Rachael Kiss from Alliance Online commented: "Our study shows that customers can still very much get a bargain beer if they look for one, with the cost of a pint varying depending on where you live in the UK. "It is worth noting that no matter how cheap establishments price their beer, cleanliness of beer lines should remain a top priority. This is because not cleaning beer lines properly could risk a poor food hygiene rating from the Food Standards Agency." See below for the full list of the 10 places with the cheapest beer in Scotland. Further information can be found on the Alliance Online website. The 10 places with the cheapest beer in Scotland 1.
