Who will play Croker?

Easterly Beasterly

So now that Guns n Roses have confirmed Slane and Coldplay are only doing 1 night in Croke Park, who is now going to play in Croke Park next year? Adele has got to be favourite and you would think she would fill 2 nights. I also wouldn't rule out Garth however.. That story has more to come I think!

I don't believe the rumour that Justin Bieber will play there. They will sell tickets before the Christmas if anything and not wait till all the kids has got their xmas presents and parents can't afford it.

So I think it will be Garth Brooks. At a guess, it will be late July.

The Raptor

I reckon Garth Brooks will be announced sometime in the first 3 weeks in January. He's back touring at the end of January.

U2 or Adele?

Bon Jovi will probably be in the Aviva if they play and outdoor show

Coldplay may be the only act to play CP in 2017 and then in 2018 we may get acts like U2, Garth Brooks ,Ed Sheeran etc

Surely Coldplay would have added a second show if that was the case though? The demand was certainly there.

time will tell

i heard Coldplay could not fit in a second Croke Park date into there schedule ???

The Raptor

You would have to wonder how people seemed so sure that guns n roses were to play Croke Park. That and it was meant to go on sale a month ago. What was the hold up? Do promoters change venues at the last minute?

That was not true.
They have 3 nights free before the Dublin gig and 2 free after.
Loads of time to play an extra gig .

Some bands like at least a day off between gigs. But looking at other dates this is not the case.

seems odd there are no "double date" gigs in venues in europe.

EDIT: I see now those there are several back to back gigs in europe, there is a wiki page on them. I was also no copping on that the US gigs were this year, some long tour!

25 June 2017 Gothenburg Sweden Ullevi
26 June 2017
30 June 2017 Frankfurt Germany Commerzbank-Arena
1 July 2017
3 July 2017 Milan Italy San Siro
4 July 2017
8 July 2017 Dublin Ireland Croke Park
11 July 2017 Cardiff Wales Millennium Stadium
12 July 2017
15 July 2017 Paris France Stade de France
16 July 2017
18 July 2017

So now it seems really odd there is just 1 Irish date, esp. as it sold out fast.

Yep.. it means there is almost certainly something else planned for Croke Park that is more lucrative than Coldplay!

Please tell me Garth Brooks moved to MCD.

The Raptor

I have a feeling its Adele. I'm beginning to think it will be a Croke Park concert.

Robbie Williams is playing the Aviva on the 17th of June. Would they really have another concert a week later?

That and they often have concerts in Croke Park around the 20th of June. So i reckon it'll be the 24th of June in Croke Park.

That's what i saw as well. But then they didn't fly in anyone.

I take it that the above rumour isn't true. There would be more in the news about it.

There was some suggestion that Justin Bieber might be announcing a Croke Park show next summer, that looks unlikely now as he announced a 2017 stadium tour of North America on Ellen yesterday.

So they could have had a second gig with Coldplay. The demand was there. You do have to wonder why they didn't. Unless the other two are reserved for somebody else. My guess is Garth Brooks. He likes to announce things at the last minute. Anyone else would have their announcement made by now and tickets sold. Surely they don't all announce them late.

Didn't Adele play here this year already like? What's the point her playing here again next summer?

Whats laughable is that they they are promoting her stadia tour as being specially configured "intimate" in the round concerts.

Most of the places she is playing are huge cricket grounds ,some intimacy there,you could be over 120m from the stage.

poundhound

Her London shows are billed as "The Finale".
I don't think there'll be other European dates announced other than the 4 Wembley shows.

Fools and their money are easily parted.

I was hoping it might be MCD and give him the Aviva but he's with Aiken, so it's gonna be Croke Park.

There goes Garth.

The Raptor

It was on the radio during the week that Garth Brooks was to play Dublin next summer.

It was a rumour quite obviously but where are these rumours coming from? Cork rumour and Dublin rumour?
