He will get huge publicity from the Late Late Show ,just like Buble did last week. Its so cynical the way these albums and tours are released/announced so close to Christmas . As you said if the Script can sell out Croke Park then Robbie Williams will have no problem but as there are only 2 more spots left for Croke Park next year he will most likely play the Aviva. I suspect Guns and Roses might play 2 nights in Croke Park.

hynesie08 wrote: » I'm not underestimating, haven't heard his new single, but one belter and he's right back up there, I think he's guaranteed to shift 35-40,000 tickets, so the aviva is probably a safer bet. He could 75% sell it easily, croker could be a bit more of a slog.

I think Michale Bubles tour goes on sale next week,Robbie Williams the week after so Guns and Roses will probably be the week after that . It would be nice if they actually gave people some warning about the gigs instead of just announcing it a few days before the tickets go onsale.

If the rumour is correct about guns n roses, and garth brooks doing a tour of the country including Dublin. That leaves 1 night for Garth Brooks in Croke Park. But when can he possibly play. August is out because they're always full up with matches in Croke Park. Would they really go for 3 acts in Croke Park in July and stress out the residents that much. 3 times with the building of the stage and 44hours of no sleep, all in the one month. So it's going to be May or June. Wish they would tell us and hurry up.

Getting more unlikely he will be back next year I think unless the Cork rumours from the Summer materialise - they say the stadium will be open for July but it could be tight. Looks like guns n roses for at least one night in Croke Park and Buble must be short odds for the other Aviva gigs. Then there is Slane to come.....
PTH2009 wrote: » Can't see Brooks doing 1 Croke Park show. If he intends to tour Ireland in 2017 than he could surprise us all and do a lengthy run (5-7 nights) in the 3arena, SSE arena Belfast (2-3 nights) and The Marquee Cork (3-4 nights, although he might not fit his stage setup there). He could come here in 2018 and do 3 Croke Park dates
Hoping for GNR in Croker but u2 will be touring Stadiums next summer and they could fill the remaing Croke Park dates (the rumour of coldplay bring denied extra dates is BS, they simply could not accomadate it in there schedule).
