    Apparently Aiken Promotions are making a big announcement in Croke Park on Monday at 11.45am on 2FM regarding a concert this Summer. Rumours are it will be Garth Brooks - question is what venue/venues will it be in if it is him and if it will include a concert in Nowlan Park????

    Sue nunn announced Garth brooks for nowlan park was all but officially confirmed. Today it seems to be not the case at all and just two dates for croke park instead. Dunno how she could get it so wrong!
    Will there be a concert at all in nowlan park this year I wonder?

    The Croke park concerts are not part of his world tour, the rest of his tour has not been announced.

    It was mentioned this morning at the press release/announcement that more announcements were to come and they were adamant that the two Croker gigs were special events and not part of the world tour.

    He's on Ireland am tomorrow apparently, so maybe he will reveal more

    I hope it'll be a older act, it'll attract a better likely more mature crowd

    So Garth Brooks has sold out 3 dates in Croke Park?
    What of the rumours of Kilkenny? I'd imagine demand is well covered now by these 3 dates. Sue Nunn and her reliable sources.....

    Going from the Brooks thread in Music there are an awful lot of unhappy fans that did not get tickets, international fans would have bought up some of these tickets too, so demand could be there - especially with some fans wanting to go to all three Croker gigs.

    If my Facebook feed is anything to go by he could sell out a weeks worth of concerts.
    Seems like nobody in KK got a ticket.

    Fingers crossed there may still be some slim hope as Aiken has ruled out a fourth Croke Park concert - lots of disappointed fans so demand is surely there for a few more concerts around the country

    They are not on Aikens list so it wont be them.

    I didn't realise there was such a latent interest in that style of country. I remember him being huge the first time but the whole thing seemed to die off quickly after he'd done those Croke Park gigs.

    I was living near Croke Park at the time and while I wasn't a fan his shows certainly were rambunctiously rowdy fun.

    I think it may have been for the sunday night that he was referring to. Another night was announced in croker after so that rules that one out. I think kilkenny is unlikely now for brooks, but hopefully some other artist will come.

    would love if it was Fleetwood Mac

    Just mere speculation but Springsteen is announcing tour dates for a spring U.S tour very soon, with a rumoured summer European tour. Its just possible we could see his return!

    So. Nothing announced for next summer. Are the chances very slim now?

    With a two day concert announced for Shankill Castle in Paulstown in early July, I'd reckon so. But it would be nice to see something come up.
