The Rolling Stones - 17th May 2018 - Croke Park - *Discussion Only / No Ticket Sales*

cant seeing it being u2, GNR , The pope
or Bruce Springsteen (rumours of a 2019 tour happening though)
Westlife and Fleetwood Mac are possible with Westlife a guaranteed sell out. Very good chance it could be Eminem (and the residents thought the GB crowd would be bad !!!) or Rolling Stones
Foos and Pearl Jam are good gueses but prob too big for them and Nathan Carter ??? could sell well with a solid support lineup
Knowing Irish promoters it will be a modern in the limelight pop act
Surely he wouldn't come close to Croke Park territory? I mean, he has a gig at Live at the Marquee this summer that hasn't sold out yet (by comparison, Coronas, Picture This x2, Jenny Greene, A-Ha and others have sold out the venue already) and frequently plays Cork Opera House, INEC, etc. I know he's popular but even with a strong support bill, he wouldn't come close to 80k!
Also can probably rule out Springsteen. Members of the E Street Band have stated that they're not touring this year. He's expected to bring his Broadway show on the road a little but I don't think it'll go outside of the US, with the possible exception of the West End. Either way, even if it does go on the road, it's an indoor, intimate show, not a stadium one.
Springsteen 2019 seems far more likely.
Are Fleetwood Mac touring this year? Hadn't seen any shows anywhere but that'd be great. Though, as others noted, they'd surely need a very strong support bill to sell out Croke Park.
U2 also makes no sense with their Dublin shows later in the year.
Is it definitely a May gig? 'Cos that would count against Eminem, if so. He's free then but all his European gigs are from the end of June onwards. Seems unlikely that he'd rock up for one show (with a presumably big production set-up that would be expensive to transport) and then disappear again for two months.
I'd say the Stones seems the most likely.0 -

Stones are defo looking around at UK/Irish stadiums
yeah the rumoured venues (according to the stones fourms) are
Croke Park as we all knw

No, if you were around this forum more you would see it was been spouted by a well known complete & utter sad cnutroll.Its going to be Bruce isn't it...
I reckon they would sell it out (not sure if they are touring though), even though they only played recently, so would be a wise choice by any promoter. If you do not like them just say so, be clear about it, there is enough unnecessary confusion in this thread with sad arseholes making unobvious sarcastic comments. Many would have missed GnR in slane due to the long trek and horrible ordeal that it is. As would many who did not bother with the stones in slane last time.GnR would be a terrible choice. It won't be them.
The stones would attract older fans who were not willing for the trek to slane 10 years ago, and also younger fans -and of course those in between.0 -

I would go, depending on price. I could have got a slane ticket cheap, but then there is the ordeal to get there, and cost of transport, no way I was on for that -and I know others in the same boat. I know several who went to slane and would go if it was in croke park, said the performance was great, not the venue and hardship.
A huge amount of people would have said "SLANE, never again", that I heard a lot, and I always do after the ordeal that is slane, have said it myself at least twice. But I would have to go look at the thread at the time and media reports because I did not really recall many syaing "GNR, never again".
First I find on google
https://www.independent.ie/entertainment/music/music-news/heres-what-guns-n-roses-slash-duff-mckagan-and-fans-had-to-say-about-slane-35766039.html
Back to my other post, I was not saying I think GNR are very likely to play, just asking the poster to make clear why it is a "terrible choice". Your post, like so many others here are leaving me confused and I expect others too.
What the hell is your point/s ?
Apart from setting a new record for mentioning Slane ..... even though you wouldn't go to a gig there???
"Bright lights and Thunder .................... " #NoPopcorn

they just have to make other plans or take the day off work :pac::pac::pac:
residents could stop this gig though but what might go in CP favour is it will be the only event held there in May (no games etc)
