Really really hope not

My money's on him playing the RDS.

jesus, i hope it's not slane. I've long since given up on the place - it served a purpose 20 years ago when there weren't really big stadium gigs going on elsewhere, but why anybody would go there now is a mystery to me. I won't be going anyway, not even for the boss:mad:

The point's been made in another thread that Springsteen has a personal connection with Aiken and that's who promotes his gigs everytime he's here so he's most likely going to continue using them meaning it wouldn't be Slane as that's an MCD event.

Having said that, you never know!

and im pretty sure he said he'd never play slane again after 85 due to it being to packed, and due to the heat of the day people were passing out etc.

Unless Mountcharles is letting Aiken and MCD do one Slane each? But i doubt it and id agree that cant see Bruce moving from Aiken

Apparently thats a ticket broker site

HE is the undisputed king of cross country racing but for County Limerick horse trainer, Enda Bolger, no race tested his nerve as much as his 15 minutes on stage with ‘The Boss’, Bruce Springsteen.

In front of 37,000 fans at the RDS in Dublin, the champion trainer joined his musical hero and good friend, Bruce Springsteen, for a send-up of the Hyde Park concert which saw the UK authorities pull the plug on the musical legend after he broke the curfew.

“After all the races I have ridden and all the fences I have jumped, I was never as scared as I was for those 15 minutes,” Enda told the Limerick Leader this week.

During the sell-out gig in the RDS last week, Springsteen and his guitarist, Steve Van Zandt, could be seen wrestling with two men dressed as a politician and a London policeman, over the on/off switch on a big power generator.

Springsteen and the E Street Band were performing ‘Twist and Shout’ with Paul McCartney in Hyde Park only 70 hours previously, when the concert was curtailed much to the disappointment of the 70,000 strong crowd. Footage, pictures and reports of the ‘plug-pulling moment’ went global.

Enda, who had been out bowling with Springsteen in Stillorgan the night before the Dublin gig, said never in his “wildest dreams” did he suspect that Springsteen planned on re-enacting the moment as a wind-up.

“When we went to the show on Tuesday, Patti’s [Bruce’s wife] PA rang my wife, Shanny, and said he wanted to see me. It was about five o’clock in the afternoon. We normally would meet up before shows but this time he had a surprise for me!” the Bruree-based handler explained.

“I didn’t know what was going to happen, so when I walked into his dressing room he said: ‘You are coming on stage with me, tonight!”

Luckily, Enda had support on stage in the form of world-renowned show jumping rider Nick Skelton and young Bobby Kraut. Bobby is the son of Laura Kraut, who is Nick Skelton’s partner. Laura is training Bruce and Patti’s daughter, Jessie, show jumping at international level.

Enda was to play the part of the city councillor while Nick was to be the policeman.

“We had to wrestle with Bruce and Steve over the generator switch and then Bruce told us; ‘When that’s done, I want you to stay on stage for the song as well!” said Enda.

The song in question was the foot stomping ‘American Land’.

Nick Skelton, who holds the British equestrian high jump record from when he jumped over 7ft 7in on Lastic in London back in 1978, and competed in numerous Aga Khans at the RDS, admitted that it was also his “scariest moment”.

In an effort to put the trio at ease, Springsteen went through the routine beforehand in the dressing room and told them: ‘I just want ye guys to do this and we are going to have some fun, relax and enjoy yourselves’.

Despite the nerves, the moment is something Enda will never forget.

“I’m on a high ever since. It was a privilege to have been asked. To be there, having been a fan all my life, was just something else.”

Following the gig, Springsteen joined his Irish friends in the nearby Four Seasons Hotel for a catch-up.

According to the champion trainer, Springsteen “absolutely loves Dublin” and stayed on until Saturday morning taking in The Waterboys concert in the capital before jetting out to Oslo for his next gig.

And before he had even left the country thoughts had already turned to his next Irish concert and maybe even a gig in Thomond Park.

“We’d love to get him to play Thomond Park. It’s been discussed with him but it’s really up to the promoters,” said Enda who returned to the RDS on the Wednesday night for another three and a half hours of Springsteen magic.

“I had known at six o’clock on the Tuesday that I was going on stage, so the butterflies had set in, but for Wednesday night’s concert I could relax and take it all in. I really, really enjoyed it.”

Tuesday, July 17, 2012, however, the day he sang on stage with The Boss in Dublin, will forever be etched in his memory.

“It is something that I will never, ever forget,” he said.

First time I'll ever put a gig ahead of gaa

O'Moore Park has a capacity of 27,000. Attendance at last years Leinster Final was 22,171. Given the increased interest in Galway-Kilkenny matches it's quite possible that more than 27,000 will attend next years final.

And that's not even counting that Dublin might make the final etc..
