Stadium shows Ireland 2025

U2 have to be a possibility, now that their Sphere residency is done

There's rumours of Beyonce touring, I assume she'd still be big enough for Croker...?

Foo Fighters may well be touring again, if we haven't had enough of them!

Linkin Park reforming with a new singer. No idea how big they'd be, but they're already into nostalgia territory. Probably depends on the profile of the singer

According to Reuters, Mick Jagger has said that the Rolling Stones are eyeing up a world tour for 2025. "We'll consider those offers, where we're going to go and where it will be fun, you know?" he said. "It could be Europe, could be South America, could be anywhere."

Dua Lipa is doing Wembley...

Linkin Park is rumoured to be Deryck from Sum 41.

RDS gig not Croke Park I'd think.

RDS out of action for 2025

Marlay Park or Malahide maybe

Forgot that. Simmonscourt anyone :pac:

Yeah, park gig most likely then. I probably won't go if its a park gig; I would if it was RDS (and I'd hope nobody goes to Simmonscourt for a gig, ever again)

Foo Fighters I'd say. Even though it seems like they are always here I think the last time they played was 2019? 6 years ago by next year. So possibly them. If Beyonce is touring, probably her too (Although is she as big as she was? Would she be more Aviva? I genuinely don't know).

They might give it a rest a little for a year. Do one or two fewer. Either intentionally or not. Maybe hanging on for extra Oasis dates that don't manifest. I'm sure locals would appreciate the reduction for a year. But of course it's about the money.

Must be due to have Slane too in 2025? Wonder would the fans of any of the above trek down there?

December this year, 2 UK arenas and 2/3 European cities.

He should be the first act at Everton's new stadium, so I'd have to Imagine an Aviva/croker show is on the cards if so.

I can't see them not riding the Noah Kahan wave and giving him Marlay at least.

Stereophonics are due their go round, could see them in RHK again.

Wouldn't complain if Kacey Musgrave got a Trinity/Iveagh gardens slot.

Ed Sheeran is touring Europe from May to September next year. Could well be two Croker dates or a Slane date.

My guess on this would be:

Aviva Stadium - Foo Fighters, Dua Lipa or Billie Eilish as the big pop act

Croke Park - possibly Ed Sheeran or Rolling Stones or Metallica???

Marley Park - Eminem, Linkin Park, Lady Gaga or Rihanna. Would love to see System of a Down.

Honourable mention - U2 for Shane.

There are a few "???" when people are suggesting Metallica for Croker. They could 100% do it. I was amazed just how hugely successful their Slane Castle show was.

AC/DC have a bigger legacy but it would be fair to say they have an identical fanbase.

Suprised if Springsteen tours again and doesnt show up here for at least one show.

Dermot Kennedy definitely due a few shows next summer

Would a lot of the U2 crowd be too old for Slane these days, though? 🙈

Not irish related but didn't expect that stat. Really thought they would of played in South America before this

No, I really can't think who'd do Slane now. But then I'd never have predicted Harry Styles doing it, so I'm sure there's someone I'm not thinking of!
