    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?

    The fact its spin makes me believe its more pop oriented so i could see Ed Sheeran being announced?

    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.

    FM 104 are saying its a stadium gig anyways


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,460 ✭✭✭davywalsh7


    Ed sheeran at croker I'd say


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,909 ✭✭✭hynesie08


    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. ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,460 ✭✭✭davywalsh7


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,751 ✭✭✭Dr. Bre

    You have serious serious serious problems


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,666 ✭✭✭✭MisterAnarchy


    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 209 ✭✭Easterly Beasterly


    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.


  • Registered Users Posts: 280 ✭✭ShakerMaker91


    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.

    CONFIRMED

    I hope its Nathan Carter.

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

    It's probably Ed Sheeran.

    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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,581 ✭✭✭bennyl10


    Ed gonna sell out Croker?? Seriously?

    In a heartbeat

    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..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,042 ✭✭✭zl1whqvjs75cdy


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

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,909 ✭✭✭hynesie08


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,456 ✭✭✭Shedite27


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,909 ✭✭✭hynesie08

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

    Garth Brooks is neither of those things.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,909 ✭✭✭hynesie08


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

    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..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,553 ✭✭✭✭Copper_pipe


    any prices for tickets yet?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 201 ✭✭Level 5 Vegan


    any prices for tickets yet?

    €69.45 on sale 26th apparently.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,558 ✭✭✭✭Mushy

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


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,677 ✭✭✭Zwillinge


    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 201 ✭✭Level 5 Vegan


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 902 ✭✭✭laros


    Tickets are priced between €69.45 and €80.00 plus the usual fees


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,695 ✭✭✭flangemeistro


    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.
