The legitimate objections of the residents last year were not based on the quality of the artist in question, they were based on the fact that One Direction had already used up the three dates allocated to the Stadium under their planning permission grant for the redevelopment of Croke Park and the imposition of an additional five concerts was deemed to be unacceptable in terms of the development plan for the area.

No, its fine, I wasnt on Mars for the last 12 months, I know exactly what was involved, Im just looking forward to discernment between good and poor music.

still reckon it will be Coldplay. looking very likely to be playing Glastonbury, so almost certainly doing a world tour too, especially as they've a new album coming out and didn't really tour the last one.
Arcade Fire headlined Glastonbury last year and MCD had them over to Marlay Park that same weekend. could see them doing the same thing for Coldplay.

I would love if it was Coldplay but Glastonbury =! Ireland show. Ed Sheeran is heavy favourite for me to the point I threw a few quid on him the second I heard about another Croker show.

I hope those residents sh!t on you because its not about the music with them.

That's from me and 399,999 more people.

Nice.

And I think you'll find it was you and 79,999 people 5 times, or in Aikens terms:

80,000 x 5 = 0.

i know, but if they're doing Glastonbury and have a new album out, they'll almost certainly be doing a world tour of stadiums.
and given that the Glastonbury news has come out the same day that news of someone playing Croker has, it looks a lot more likely to be them than Bruce Springsteen at least.

Surely someone on boards.ie works in Croke Park and has the inside scoop?

Last played here at Oxegen 2011. They headlined the Sunday night!

They have played here 10 times. Oxegen 2011 was the last time and Phoenix Park in 2009 before that.

Do we really need another Bruce Springsteen concert? Surely everyone in the country has see him at least once by now. He'll be doing a tour of peoples front rooms next...

'CAPPER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope it's Coldplay personally, either way I hope they play Ireland this year. Zero interest in Ed Sheeran or Robbie Williams but they'd definitely get the numbers. As would Bruce obviously.

Let's hope whoever it is they don't F it up this time!

I have a friend who works in Croke Park. Not everyone who works there has such inside knowledge, all she knows is that she'll be working at whatever concert takes place.

I don't think theres anyway Ed Sheeran would sell out Croker on his own. Could see him being part of a bill with a few other artists though like The Script and Farrell gig.

He has sold out Wembley for three nights. Although with the o2 gigs his fans may be broke.

MadYaker · 04-02-2015 01:43PM

He has sold out wembley for 3 nights?!?! The mind boggles...

Mushy · 04-02-2015 01:46PM

Coldplay would be logical as it appears they are at Glastonbury, can keep stage up before/after the Script for them.

Nothing to suggest it isn't either Ed or Bruce though. Would prefer Bruce to be playing.

Furious-Red · 04-02-2015 02:21PM

Robbie Williams would not be able to sell out Croker either . Sure didnt he just only sell out the Aviva last time?

Pinkman · 04-02-2015 02:36PM

I would love nothing more than for it to be The Boss but it doesn't make sense seeing as he has no new album and no other dates anywhere else. The only way this makes sense is if Aiken is in series financial difficulties after the whole Garth Brooks fiasco and seeing as Peter Aiken is mates with Bruce - he is doing him the favour so he doesn't go bust.

And he sold out five nights in Wembley Stadium on that tour so selling out Wembley doesn't say much. I doubt it's Robbie either seeing he doesn't even have an album out.

Irish times just tweeted
"Who needs Garth Brooks when you can have Bruce Springsteen? #TheBoss is coming to Croke Park ✌ http://t.co/RxjMFsPfjl"

That's that then

Meh. Ah well, he'll get the crowd.

Pinkman · 04-02-2015 02:50PM

Stuart Clarke from Hotpress has tried to get it confirmed and says it just a rumour at the moment but it hoping it gets confirmed shortly. Surely as a editor of the top music magazine in Ireland he could easily get it confirmed or denied by Aiken? Why not just deny it if it's not true?

RoboAmish · 04-02-2015 02:52PM

I'd be (delightfully) shocked if it was Bruce. My pocket wouldn't thank me though!

polydactyl · 04-02-2015 02:52PM

Thats The Irish News a regional paper in Belfast not the Irish Times.

Edit: beaten to it while I checked it was not just a "foreign" name for the Irish Times

Yep it seems they all do "the Herald" the bastion of investigative journalism. If Stuart Clarke says it is though I will believe it
