This thread really isn't about licences my original point was that more than 3 can happen.

Not according to peter aiken. Sure hasn't he been complaining the last 2 years that he could put on more gigs if it wasn't for those meddling residents (usually accompanied by a sensationalist headline and one person saying they might complain if they tried 5 in a row again)

It was mentioned once last year when Ed Sheeran tickets went on sale that they can sell more.

The residents bitter dispute has come to an end. It was in the news a few weeks ago.

My original point was that more than 3 can happen. It has been done before and it will happen again.

I'm sure they could put on 4 concerts next year in Croke Park if they wanted, they did in 2009. The problem was Garth was doing 5 in a row and that was on top of 3 by One Direction in the same year. Garth got permission to play 3 so that would've been 6 in 2014 at Croke Park.

This makes no sense to the thread. What is your point? 4 concerts in 2009, 6 in 2014. Are you trying to make out that there was a problem with 5 extra concerts? The only people who had a problem was the residents. The residents who used concerts as an excuse to beat the Croke Park management with. Their bitter dispute has ended now.

Edit: my original reply was to scruffy monkey's post who said that 3 concerts were allowed. I just said that more can happen.

I was only showing that 4 concerts were played there before in 2009 and 6 were allowed in 2014.

No I was saying the residents had a problem because there was 8 concerts that year with 5 in a row.

except it wasn't only the residents who had a problem.

the Planning Dept at Dublin City Council obviously had a problem, as they only granted a licence for 3 of the proposed 5 GB concerts.

DCC can refuse licence applications for any gigs (including the single Coldplay one announced which so far doesn't have a licence), and there could be no gigs at Croke Park if they so choose.

LCD Soundsystem said at EP that they would be back in Ireland in 2017 and have a new album coming out.

Any rumors about Radiohead?

Radiohead seem nailed on for the Saturday at Glastonbury (if all the rumours and e-festivals sources are to be believed).

I could see them playing at Kilmainham sometime around the end of June.

It was not all you "just" said. Seemed to me to be a really snide initial comment, and then incorrect info along with it, so am not surprised it caused people to respond.

I really don't know how people don't know this yet. This is old news. Three concerts a year are allowed without a licence. If they want to go over that they can apply for a licence.

In 2014 there were 3 gigs and another "non gaa" "non sporting" event, some monster car show thing. And GB could have got more.

Saw that Michael Buble is doing from Late Late show thing in a few weeks. So I imagine he will tour next summer and maybe do a Croke Park or Aviva show

Yes,Michael Buble and Robbie Williams will be announcing upcoming UK tours in the next few weeks but they will almost certainly play in Ireland too.

There will be lots of gigs announced between now and Christmas as artists try to cash in on the Christmas market.

Doubt he will play Ireland in 2017

It's a shame he won't be playing the drums anymore due to hand issues (his 15 year old son will play them on the tour)

Would they do 1 or 2 nights? Plus id say the price will be just as pricey as Coldplay(if not more)

1 night I'd say with the 3rd Croke Park show going to Michael Buble or someone like that

I would pay Coldplay prices for gnr as it's something I always wanted to see (slash, Duff and Axl sharing the stage)

yeah i knw Croke park is not used for matches that weekend and some times concerts take place there at that time

2015- Ed Sheeran CP 24th/25th July- Hurling QFs 26th July Thurles
2014- The cancelled Garth Brooks were due to played the same weekend as the Hurling QFs
2009- U2 CP 24/25/27 July- Hurling 26th Thurles

so imagine GNR or another act might play Croke Park the weekend of 21/22/23 July or 28/29/30 July, of course coldplay will play there the 8th July

Could it be Garth Brooks?

I know the aviva is MCD events but if the space is there to be used. Especially if Guns n Roses play Croke Park, I can CP being off the cards for Garth Brooks.

I definitely heard about a European tour next year for him but Ireland is his biggest market in Europe, so I can't imagine being left out.

Hope it's marketed as a solo show and not an ESB show.

Will be amazing though if true and tickets will be hard to get. 3/4 nights is a must. Expecting it to be Autumn 2017
