Sorry bad wording. No idea re:plan for it, when it is, if its true who and when things are booked etc. Just someone in the know who has correctly told me about other gigs and when i seen the posters i asked them was it croker. I would have assumed gareth brooks too, who the hell would organise bieber for Croke Park. I do hope they were wrong or just winding me up. Was only sharing the tidbits i get fed :P

Wait till you get concrete info IMO

According to this thread, it's going to be some sort of festival type gig?

It is pretty much a given that a Metallica 2017 Europe tour announcement is a matter of when and not if?

There doing a American stadium summer tour next summer

Maybe a small arena tour in autum 2017 and then a few festivals and outdoor gig's in the summer of 2018

Love to see them in the 3arena but depends on the stage layout of the tour

Email I got said it was the last dates for 2017.

Bieber is announcing a stadium tour soon in the US, so maybe it's true about him. Would think the Aviva would be better for him.

GNR are playing Croke Park not Slane unless things have changed in last week!

Wish that was the case but strong sources are saying its Slane

If it was Croke Park the press conference Monday morning would be there not bruxelles

Hope ur right though

Might go to London or Glasgow If they play stadiums there or give in to Slane

What strong sources have mentioned Slane? One on twitter said Slane and Aiken, but Slane is MCD and GNR last visits have been MCD too.

I think we all know a date is confirmed, just need to announce. Not much can be done on the venue.

I'd be inclined to stick with Croke Park as my feeling, nothing has indicated Slane will happen, Coldplay could've done more shows but there's a reason they haven't.

Using bruxelles cos it's the rock bar of town.

Still, least it doesn't confirm Slane anyway.

almost confirms it as the Aviva and Croke Park have top class conference facilities and if the gig was on in one of them venues than the annoucement would be there ??

Not necessarily. While it would make a lot of sense to do it that way, they may not book out the facilities as the band won't be there. I'm seeing Bruxelles as a symbol for rock music and GNR being one of the biggest bands in the genre, tis why they chose there. Could be way off the mark too, who knows.

And dates/venues will be leaked beforehand (I hope).

Justin Bieber just played the 3arena at the beginning of November. Would he really come back so soon.

He sold 25,000 tickets in 8 minutes, of course he'd come back.

Thats not how PR works though.

Bruxelles = a bit of novelty and a different location for a press call so gives more coverage. Sometimes the venue can stipulate the press announcement must be in-house as part of the package, but not always.

Could be wrong of course! I have zero interest in GNR so didn't pursue but we heard that GNR where about to close on croke park, never heard anything about Slane or aviva, was always Croker.

But keep in mind that the promoters will have alternative venue options lined up too, so I guess Slane or Aivva isn't out of the question (although Aviva would be an odd one)

Bonus hint: look at the various different hotel prices in the Croker area for the rumoured dates.

It's obviously Slane.. They posted on their Facebook page that Slane 2017 will be announced on Monday.

It's not the real Facebook page for Slane. Real one has nearly 30k followers, this one has under 3k.

Independent has it down as Croker.

Dave fanning said the same apparently

Hope it's true

If its the weekend of 26/27 May than Dublin will be manic as the Pro 12 final is on in the Aviva

It was mentioned in the Irish Times yesterday that Trinity might he used to host 5,000 capacity gigs during the summer. Not sure if it meant outdoors or in a marquee.

Alt-J, James Vincent McMorrow and Lord mentioned as possible acts.

It looks like this guy might be someone to follow for future gig announcements. He seems to be in the know.
