ABBA at Wembley is the answer.

When was that? If you mean in 1979, they played the Arena, not the stadium

Wembley Arena not Wembley Stadium. Its capacity is 12500.

So no, not ABBA at Wembley. They didn't play the stadium.

The Stone Roses unlike that badly dressed red neck are one of the coolest bands ever they played the Phoenix Park 2 years ago and could have played more dates but just left it at one.

They couldn't have filled croke park even once at their peak.

But as they would be good for drugs, stabbing and sexual assaults, they would be be shoe in for a licence in Dublin, I'll grant you that.

You could go back to O'Connell's monster rallies as well if you're that stuck, they were banned too apparently.

I'd like that to be true but it's not

Okay.

How many people have done this? Because you suggested the issue was with a mere 5 concerts and I want you to cough up and tell me how many times people have had to handle 5 concerts with 80,000 attendees at each concert in five consecutive nights.

My guess is it hasn't happened.

FWIW, Jean Michel Jarre played 100,000 people on two consecutive nights in Victoria Docks in 1988.

And I take on board Take That as mentioned below

That'll be why I blame Aiken and the Croke Park management then.

Promoters and venues will always try and make money.. that is the business that they are in.

When a system buckles, like ours surely did, and allows a situation where 160,000 people (many of whom are flying into this county from abroad) see the concerts which they are due to attend in three weeks time, cancelled due to lack of licences, then that is a problem which is caused by far more than a "greedy" promoter and a venue that has disdain for it's residents. If you can't see that, you are blind.

Find me a stadium anywhere else in the world which holds 80,000 people running five concerts on five consecutive nights. And I mean 80,000 people per concert.

First thing I Googled was 'Wembley Stadium Gigs'

2011, Take That played to a total of 623,737 people over 8 consecutive nights

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progress_Live#Tour_dates

That was the first stadium I googled. No doubt there are many similar examples

He didn't need a shipload of electronics.

You came in here giving out about Aiken being slandered, yet now you're saying the Stone Roses would cause sexual assaults. (Once again, with 0 proof) Wow.

Very impressive that they did so many, but if you read it, its not consecutive nights, they had a couple of nights off.

8 at the Etihad too, one day break inbetween a couple.

That answers that then.

I think that statement could actually be read two ways, either that they would cause them, or carry them out themselves. Either way, nasty stuff, and defamation.

Are we expected to believe that makes all the difference then? This is pedantic

If they have breaks in between, then they aren't consecutive

Still the 5 in a row will be a broken record (like this thread).

Indeed, which is rather ironic, given the posters condoning of defamation where it suits him.

Sorry, I thought the question was about 5 consecutive nights, so not pedantic at all.

Ask me a question and I'll answer it, but not with an answer for the question you ask - that won't be pedantic at all.

I know that. I would say 7 in the space of 9 days is a lot more disruptive than 5 in a row.

Can you prove that? That stone roses gigs would be good for sexual assaults.

It's still a far cry from the "only 3 concerts in the entire year" which some of the residents demand. This is what I mean about Ireland - often we have the potential to do really epic things, and the only thing standing in the way is that we're more micro managed than other countries, with far more restrictions on what's allowed. See my bodybuilding analogy for an earlier example - Ireland I believe is the only country in Europe which has just banned Animal Pump. Having to travel to NI to pick up a feckin' NO supp is batsh!t insane, and yet often our obsession with nanny statism goes entirely unchallanged.

Iirc, there were zero arrests at their gig in Phoenix Park.

Great, who cares though. If other cities can take 7 and 8 gigs in the space of 10 days why can't Dublin take 5?

Celtic park and Ibrox used to, after that there are numerous other cities in the world, as DCC will find out to their cost.

How are they in a row if there are day breaks between them?
