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.
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.
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.
The Murrayfield gigs will mark the first time Oasis will grace the Edinburgh stage since 2009, just before the Gallagher brothers had their infamous falling out that led to a 15-year break from the band - so it's no wonder Scottish fans will want to celebrate with a pint or two.
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.
