The Second Coming - Garth on his way, again, possibly, 2017

    So that flawless bastion of journalism, The Sun, via an unnamed source of course is suggesting that Garth Brooks is looking at Croke Park again.

    His motivation is apparently the success of Bruce Springsteen over the weekend, especially Endas Dancing Taoiseach Routine which has apparently shown that Official Ireland that ruined his 2015 efforts is now cool and hip with music again.

    The fact the Croker is free and licence free for 3 concerts next year, with 240,000 tickets worth approximately €30 million may have some part in the inspiration.

    If he's really interested in copying Bruce he should look at Springsteen's tour of Ireland a few years ago, a few nights in Croker, a few in Kilkenny, a few in Killarney, he might as well settle down in Monaghan/Cavan region given their taste.

    Mods across AH are stocking up on Rennies and ban hammers.

    I was happy that they were cutting down from the five concerts a few years back as it was completely excessive but was surprised when they were all cancelled. So it'll be nice that some of the disappointed folk might get to see him, as godawful as I think he and his music are. That's if they are happening, that is.

    Sorry to say that I doubted you Ray, but that is so ridiculous that I had to Google it.

    Any actual fan that goes to see him now, after he couldn't be bothered his arse playing the 3 concerts a couple of years ago are fools.

    If I was a fan, he wouldn't be getting my money this time after fcuking over his fans!

    He cancelled three concerts in a row with a total audience of 240,000. His American tour played to an average of 20,000 per venue. Twelve nights, probably over the guts of two months to play to the same size audience with probably larger expense and less return per ticket.
    What an idiot!

    Just shows that he was never about the money.

    I don't know if that's the worst thing I've heard in ages or the best thing I've heard in ages, or both.

    It's definitely the funniest thing I've heard in ages! What a moron!

    When he throws a hissy fit the next time, we can all lobby the President of the United States to intervene diplomatically to try and save the day....again.

    I'm a fool so. If he does come next year, I'll be there. I did get tickets last time and subsequently got a refund. These things happen

    I'm a fan and know how enjoyable his concerts are, so I would rather be in Croke Park than protesting at home

    I would love to get free tickets, I'd get a big stetson and go and get hammered - I mean hammered off my tits, and try and ruin it for as much fans as I could - like the Garth crowd were doing at the Boss last weekend.

    If the GAA and promoters don't try and fcuk over the residents and local authority again with extra gigs over the agreed limit, I don't see the problem.

    Thank you! I have to conclude that anyone who is a Garth Brooks fan isn't a country music fan.

    I doubt they'll try that again.

    If Brooks does play Croker, it will just highlight how stupid he was to cancel the three gigs he got the go-ahead for in 2014. Probably thought that if he cancelled the three, they would kowtow to him and allow the five to go ahead.

    Good. I know lots of people who were disappointed last time, hopefully this comes together.
