Garth Brooks Comeback Special *ALL 5 SHOWS CANCELLED* READ FIRST POST

I reckon all 5 could be cancelled. Garth will insist on being paid for all 5. Promoter will pull plug.

Maybe in an indoor venue but not in a stadium that holds 80k .

Would imagine Wembley hosting similar not to mention venues across the States, Germany, Australia etc.

It will be interesting to see how the contract was structured. It was MCD who were screwed over by Prince, cannot imagine Aiken would fall into the same trap.

The GAA have apparently confirmed that the Monday and Tuesday concerts will be cancelled.

It's on Her.ie

There's still some tickets left on ticketmaster for the Sunday, just got 2 there as I have 2 tickets for the Tuesday. Figured I'd get the Sunday ones just in case!

Thanks for the heads up, just scored four tickets for the Sunday for my wife and family, they're delighted.

But most of these were built with decent transport links, Tube/train lines etc. Dublin doesn't have that unfortunately.

they would have better transport links definitely but I dont think transport links are what has held this up. I think its the disruption to the local residents of having people walking past their houses and the noise that would entail along with the general disruption

Will they still have to give brooks his cut for the cancelled shows ????? That won't be cheap.

Kinda my point, If you go to wembley, The meadowlands in new jersey or any other well built stadium, the locals wouldn't even know a concert was on. Between Car parks, Bus drop offs, Stations under the stadium etc the community is barely affected? croker, Not so much.

It was mentioned on the news a planning application needs to be in at minimum 10 weeks in advance of a show, that came from one of the residents so not sure how accurate that is , sounds reasonable though.

Feel sorry for those with tickets to the cancelled shows, but anger should be leveled where it belongs.

I feel even more sorry for those who have flights booked and were travelling from overseas to the shows, though maybe they can still come and enjoy the city anyway.

Garth Brooks Outdoor Event Licence

Today 3rd July 2014 Dublin City Council (DCC) as the licensing authority granted permission for three of the five proposed Garth Brooks Concerts in Croke Park. In making its decision DCC acknowledged that both Croke Park Stadium and Aiken Promotions (Ireland) promote and operate well organised and safe events and that these events make a significant contribution to the economy of Dublin.

The City Council considered all the information submitted by the applicants together with the information outlined at a series of event related meetings convened as part of the statutory process associated with the consideration of this licence application. The submissions/observations from members of the public and businesses were also considered carefully as part of this decision process. A total of 373 submissions were received from members of the public on this licence application.

In assessing the application and having regard to the submissions/observations received, Dublin City Council considered that it would not be appropriate to grant five consecutive nights of concerts as applied for, for the reasons set out below.

Reasons:

The scale, magnitude and number of the concerts with an expected attendance of in excess of 80,000 people per night over five consecutive nights, three of them being week nights is unprecedented for Croke Park Stadium.
Three consecutive concerts have already taken place in Croke Park from the 23rd to 25th of May 2014. Given that Croke Park is situated in a heavily populated residential area, five shows in a row following on from the three concerts already held there this year is considered an over intensification of use of the stadium for the holding of special events/concerts. It would be in effect permitting an increase of 100% in terms of the maximum number of concerts that had previously been held in Croke Park in any given year since the redevelopment of the stadium.
The cumulative effect on residents and on some businesses in the Croke Park and surrounding neighbourhoods, of licencing five shows in a row, three of them on weekdays, would lead to an unacceptable level of disruption to their lives/livelihoods over an unprecedented and prolonged period caused by, concert related noise, access restrictions, traffic disruption, illegal parking and potential antisocial behaviour. The City Council would also be concerned with the precedent that would be created if five consecutive concerts in a row of this scale were licenced.
Having regard to the submissions/observations received and given the number of mitigation measures proposed by the applicant it is considered reasonable and appropriate that three of the events should take place and these have been licensed for the nights of Friday 25th July 2014, Saturday 26th July 2014 and Sunday the 27th of July 2014 subject to conditions. As in all cases licence applications for outdoor events under the Planning and Development Act 2000(as amended) are considered on their individual merits.

That link was just posted about 5 minutes ago - it's from about an hour before the official confirmation came about which shows were cancelled - so they're not all cancelled.

Article is saying Garth Brooks might pull out since he cannot play all 5 nights. Stupid stuff, won't happen.

Residents are planning on taking an injunction against the remaining 3 gigs it would seem.

well that's rather mean. 160,000 upset people not good enough for them, they have to kill the dreams of the other 240,000 people?
