    What a let down this is. Honestly I don't think there's a more overhyped singer out there at the moment. For croke park I was really hoping for a world famous band maybe someone like Coldplay, not bloody ed sheeran and his depressing music

    Ed Sheeran depressing.. But Coldplay aren't?

    He's certainly a better live act that coldplay.. He'll alsosell out Croke Park in a heartbeat.. Coldplay would struggle big time for that many.. Throw them.in the Aviva.. Or a volcano..

    And Ed Sheeran should stick to his indoor arenas with all his little fan girls.

    Maybe not Coldplay but I was certainly hoping for someone better than ed sheeran

    Ed Sheeran is a solo artist like Garth, hes a very goodlive performer..

    Coldplay would most certainly sell croker and are pretty cracking live. Not everyone's cup of tea for sure though.

    Bit surprised at the date considering Wembley was supposed to be the epic finale to this tour, but fair dues to the lad, he's clearly a hard worker and he does have some good songs. Even if he's not everyone's cup of tea he's earned this shot.

    I'd be tempted to go just to see how he translates some of his stuff to a large stadium.

    Love the "he's awful, bring back real music like Chuck Berry, it was better in my day" responses to every gig announcement on boards.

    No world famous band has ever been told to "**** off" by cp.

    Garth Brooks is neither of those things.

    That's one chunk of change for a man and his guitar! :pac:

    But he is the nations darling after The Toy Show, so it's not a big surprise.

    It was always gonna be that price though, one of the downsides of stadium gigs.

    This announcement is the most leaked and underwhelming in a long time.
    The thing that shocks me is that people are questioning if he can sell out Croke Park? Are peoples memories so short that they forgot the script have sold out Croke Park?
    For me it also poses a lot of questions about his real reasons for choosing Whelan's for the storytellers session.
    Damian Rice me hole.

    He has always said that the gig in in Whelans when he seen Damien Rice made him pick up the guitar. Plus he has been know to pop up in dublin every so often (eg the Ruby Sessions last year), He seems to always have a good relationship with Ireland

    Such as creating mass hysteria by doing a gig in a 400 capacity venue which lead to phenomenal free media coverage which made even the least clued in people of the country to come to the conclusion that "this Ed Sheeran fella must be handy if everyone wants to see him" .
    Don't get me wrong it's genius from Ed but how other people haven't noticed is beyond me.

    Called it :D.

    Its not that I don't like Ed Sheeran but I don't think stadiums are suited to the folky singer-songwriter genre. Granted his last album was moving towards a more Justin Timberlake-type sound but overall I'd fit Ed in the same category as someone like Damien Rice.

    No doubt he'll sell it, the guy's massive at the moment, hard to listen to a mainstream station without a tune of his coming up at least once.

    I noticed it too but no one believed me, just like no one believed me when I said Ed Sheeran came up with the idea to fake the moon landing and he was indeed the one on the grassy knoll when JFK got shot.

    Jaysus. I have nothing against Ed, he's a talented lad and has a few good tunes along with some really annoying ones. But one small ginger man and his small guitar playing to ~82,000 people in a massive stadium? He doesn't seem like he'd be a good stadium act to me. I wouldn't pay to see him but if I did id much rather it was in 02 or somewhere small and indoor. Well fair play to him anyway.

    Why do people think that just because he's a solo act with a guitar that he couldn't possibly perform well in a stadium?

    I went to Michael Buble (again, I know not everyone's cup of tea) in the Aviva a few years back and he was bloody brilliant, and people were saying the same thing about him at the time also - he'd be much better in a more intimate venue etc etc.

    Give the guy a chance! I'd say he'll put on a great show!

    i'm sure one of the most popular acts in the world who recently did 4 nights in the O2 and another in the Odyssey to 70k+ people really needed that publicity...
