What Hyde Park announcement?

Wont be Lady Gaga no way she could fill Croker especially since she only did one Irish show on her recent tour plus her recent album didnt do to well.

Could also be Jay Z and Beyonce co-headline tour

MCD said U2 were playing 2016 and not 2015 a few months ago

ac/dc would be likely choice, touring next year also

It won't be U2 either as there doing arenas on there next tour, have a feeling it will be jay z

It cud be Robbie Williams,take that or even the script or Coldplay

I dream of acts like acdc, the foo fighters playing.

Hope it's a rock act anyway not a hip hop or pop act

Yea can see The Script doing it , Would be worried about the turn out for the Foo's tbh . They are not as big here as they are in the UK , If they were to do a stadium show i could see the Aviva.

I hope its U2.
****e venue, save the good bands for Slane, Marley Park ect..

He who must not be named?;)

Doubt its U2 as they are set on an Arena tour. Mind you they'd need nearly 30 nights in the Point to cover the attendance for 3 nights in Croker.

Mrs Garth Brooks

I was going to guess Bruce Springsteen as he's meant to be touring again 2015. But he's an Aiken act, not MCD.

Foos or AC/DC.. Has to be..

Jay z or Coldplay, in Croke Park?.. Are you high?! 90,000 peole?.not even.together is that possible..

Would have to beyonce with jay z to get near it..

Mrs Garth Brooks

S Club 7 comeback special

But would love to see AC/DC for a bit of fun for the residents. Liven them up a bit.

Or a Q & A skyping session with Garth Brooks himself. He's playing the states on Friday, so it can't be him.

hynesie08

The fact that u2 and mcd both said that it is not them makes me wonder. A 40th anniversary of born to run would be epic.

Eminem?

Coldplay on a Saturday night in the height of Summer would sell extremely well IMO.

Any chance it could be them with Robbie?

In Lonesome Dove

What would the chances be of Garth Brooks jumping from Aiken to MCD, flying into the country tomorrow night to announce some gigs on Friday morning before flying off at around 1pm for his concert in Kentucky Friday night? I know I swore blind after what happened this summer that I would never touch croke park or Dublin ever again but that came from a place of disappointment. I so would buy a ticket or two and sing for all it's worth. I'm fairly fcuked financially too but I'd do it.

Croke park is different though.. They've to be scary big.. Let's not forget that RHCP with noel Gallagher got nowhere near it..

Think it could be foos and qotsa, was rumoured they'd be doing Wembley.

With u2 not touring Bruce would sell it.. Doubt he'd go MCD though..

There'd be next to no trouble at an AC/DC gig.. Residents would be fine.

That's true but Garth Brooks still has a soft spot for Ireland. Some Irish people went to some gigs and held up their Irish flags and Garth Brooks performed his song 'Ireland' and spoke a bit about Croke Park. Croker is allowed three dates after all and the fan base is still here but gone down a little bit but that's no harm. It might be easier to get tickets for the remaining fans.

RolandGoose

AC/DC came to mind straight away. Could also be The Rolling Stones, they were rumoured to be coming here a while back.

Here's hoping its a good rock band, could just as soon be some pop tosh.


U2 are planning an arena tour for this year, followed by their new album "Songs of Experience" which will be accompanied by a Stadium tour.

Bruce only tours with Aiken, he has a long and very strong relationship with them, can't see that changing any time soon!

Wasn't there an rte headline recently about Garth wanting to outdo U2 for the worlds biggest tour? Croker was mentioned again...

It won't be Garth. You can almost guarantee it.

It's one of AC/DC, foos, u2, take that or Coldplay you'd imagine!

We preferably one of the first 3.

Not him, he's playing a concert, two of them on Friday evening. He'd want to be gone out of Croke Park by mid day again.

Was rubbished by Garths own people.

I would love to think it could be Foo's and QOTSA. Would be an absolute dream.

But in all reality, Coldplay will shift more tickets in Ireland than Foo's/QOTSA. Coldplay have a much larger reach in terms of the demographic they attract.

I think Foo's will be heading towards Marlay Park or the Aviva next Summer, possibly after a headline slot at Glastonbury. Similar to Arcade Fire's arrangement this summer.

Will be interesting to see what happens with rumoured 2 Slane dates now that a potential 80,000 headliner is being taken to Croke Park. Not many acts can shift that volume.

Coldplay are multiples bigger than Foo Fighters and QOTSA.

as for Jay-Z being mentioned, did he even sell out the O2 last time he was here? not a hope it's him.

Michael Buble? He kicked off his tour in 2013 or 2012, he'd surely have to wrap his tour up soon.

I've been to Bible a few times and love him very much. He doesn't usually announce gigs in person so I doubt it would be him.

Mrs Garth Brooks

There's still a part of me that wishes it will be him.

Enjoy 2015 guys, no point me guessing. There's only one I want to see and its not gonna happen anytime soon. Ireland shat on him.

Whoever it is, i wish they get 10 nights cause those residents gave nothing but threats to tear down as much people as possible.

In Lonesome Dove

Are there many artists that like to announce gigs in person at the venue itself that can sell out the croker capacity?

In Lonesome Dove

I wonder would it ever be One Direction? They announced some gigs last week for another part of the world but left out the UK and Ireland. I'm not glued in on 1D so I don't know much about them. With last weeks announcement from them, are those gigs part of a new world tour or are they still touring on the same tour?

Thatsfootball

Wouldn't be Bruce Springsteen by any chance? He normally comes to Ireland every couple of years and was here in 2013

Niamh_101

I think Take That want to do Arena's next year because there's only 3 of them now and also won't be announcing a tour for a few weeks. Robbie has announcement tomorrow and somebody from his team accidentally posted the announcement on Facebook but he seems to only be doing arenas in cities he's never been to or hasn't been in a while. So I'm disappointed. I also don't see him flying over from LA a few days after his son was born.
