Here in SPIN 1038, we've just gotten word of a MASSIVE gig announcement tomorrow morning. This is news you will not want to miss. Who do you think it could be?

Yeah, probably,
Will Leahy doesn't have anything yet, and if its Garth Brooks, he'll be all over it. I'll set my alarm, just in case and cry afterwards when its not him.

Please, just stop.

Furious-Red · 18-02-2015 8:53pm

FM 104 are saying its a stadium gig anyways

davywalsh7 · 18-02-2015 9:03pm

Ed sheeran at croker I'd say

hynesie08 · 18-02-2015 9:10pm

I don't think it's sheeran unless it's the aviva, he's booked up through may-july in the us and canada. Coldplay in the aviva?

It's probably Garth Brooks though.

davywalsh7 · 18-02-2015 9:16pm

Just hope if it is croker its not someone I like. Hate that venue

Dr. Bre · 18-02-2015 10:12pm

You have serious serious serious problems

MisterAnarchy · 18-02-2015 11:30pm

I wouldnt be surprised if its U2 .

The last of the indoor European gigs ,Barcelona,goes on sale tomorrow morning and with that out of the way and the money in the bank they are free to announce an outdoor gig.
They were supposed to be playing the 3Arena in November but I dont think they ever actually truly considered that due to demand and logistics.

Easterly Beasterly · 18-02-2015 11:43pm

I'd love it to be Garth Brooks or Bruce (no hope of either!)

Alas, it's Ed Sheeran in Croke Park. Not my cup of tea but will do very well for Aiken after a tough few months.

ShakerMaker91 · 18-02-2015 11:51pm

what is most Irish people's fascination with Garth Brooks he's nothing but a fat ****

If it's sheeran (and i think it is if tubridys announcing it) i don't think it'll be croker, the only weekend between may and july he's free is the week before Wembley, and that's the leinster hurling finals.

Wild guess, ed sheeran, the aviva, july 4th.

In Croke Park?! Deluded much.. Wouldn't even come close to it..

It's probably Ed Sheeran.

TheChosenOne_ · 19-02-2015 8:51am

What a let down this is. Honestly I don't think there's a more overhyped singer out there at the moment. For croke park I was really hoping for a world famous band maybe someone like Coldplay, not bloody ed sheeran and his depressing music

bennyl10 · 19-02-2015 8:51am

World famous band ? They'd be told to fcuk off.

Can't say I'm not surprised.

Ed Sheeran depressing.. But Coldplay aren't?

He's certainly a better live act that coldplay.. He'll alsosell out Croke Park in a heartbeat.. Coldplay would struggle big time for that many.. Throw them.in the Aviva.. Or a volcano..

And Ed Sheeran should stick to his indoor arenas with all his little fan girls.

Maybe not Coldplay but I was certainly hoping for someone better than ed sheeran

Okay, seriously?!.please, please get over the Garth thing.. Its his own fault, he pushed it too far and was, rightly,.told To feck himself and you just look sad/pathetic now..

Ed Sheeran is a solo artist like Garth, hes a very goodlive performer..

zl1whqvjs75cdy · 19-02-2015 8:56am

Coldplay would most certainly sell croker and are pretty cracking live. Not everyone's cup of tea for sure though.

Sold out 3 nights in wembley(or 4).. Certainly out grown arenas anyway!

Yeah, in that country with a population of over 50 million

hynesie08 · 19-02-2015 9:02am

Bit surprised at the date considering Wembley was supposed to be the epic finale to this tour, but fair dues to the lad, he's clearly a hard worker and he does have some good songs. Even if he's not everyone's cup of tea he's earned this shot.

I'd be tempted to go just to see how he translates some of his stuff to a large stadium.

Shedite27 · 19-02-2015 9:03am

Love the "he's awful, bring back real music like Chuck Berry, it was better in my day" responses to every gig announcement on boards.

No world famous band has ever been told to "**** off" by cp.

Garth Brooks is neither of those things.

Well he's gonna sell out croker (and maybe a second night) in a country of 5 million.

Because sure everyone who Plays there sells that many dates out.. Its not an achievement in the slightest.. Sure any old fool could do it..

If don't hate Ed Sheerin, but that is an outrageous price for him.

Zwillinge · 19-02-2015 9:25am

That's one chunk of change for a man and his guitar! :pac:

But he is the nations darling after The Toy Show, so it's not a big surprise.

It was always gonna be that price though, one of the downsides of stadium gigs.

Level 5 Vegan · 19-02-2015 9:30am

Yeah crap price but stadium ticket price has gone through the roof last few years.

laros · 19-02-2015 10:05am

Tickets are priced between â‚¬69.45 and â‚¬80.00 plus the usual fees

flangemeistro · 19-02-2015 10:39am

This announcement is the most leaked and underwhelming in a long time.
The thing that shocks me is that people are questioning if he can sell out Croke Park? Are peoples memories so short that they forgot the script have sold out Croke Park?
For me it also poses a lot of questions about his real reasons for choosing Whelan's for the storytellers session.
Damian Rice me hole.
