    Didnt sell out Slane, and the reviews werent exactly glowing..

    More than likely U2 or the script(with Ed Sheeran)

    Clinging to.small hope.of AC/DC but seriously doubt it..

    He easily sold 70,000+ though. Don't think it'll be him though.

    U2 ARE touring next year, possibly starting in May. So it could be them. They will do arenas but they did arenas in 01 and did Slane here, and in 05 in the States but did stadiums in Europe.

    From what I'm reading I reckon it will be those pesky little devil worshippers 1D though.

    Doubt 1D would play it twice in 2 years and severly doubt theyd launch a tour in Dublin over we'll say Wembley..

    They have a new album, they are milking this for all they can, and they might well launch in Dublin after making such a big deal of the Croke Park gigs last time around. They announced stadiums in the US yesterday I think so it wouldn't surprise me.

    It's U2, weren't they on the late late show last week, just in time for promoting themselves for upcoming tours.

    I reckon it will be u2 announcing their world tour and kicking it off in croke park.

    Highly unlikely it will be U2.

    They are starting their tour in May ,most likely in the US and indoors.
    They may play stadia in Europe but indoor arenas are more likely initially.

    Their tour details aren't due out for at least 2-3 weeks and U2 dont need to announce gigs so far in advance ,they could sell Croke Park out multiple times over at short notice.

    Definitely not one direction

    "The boys of one direction will have a busy 2015 after releasing the full list of all their world tour dates next year".... Doesn't include UK or Ireland.

    http://www.ecumenicalnews.com/article/one-direction-releases-2015-on-the-road-again-world-tour-dates-26975

    Looks as if that's it and they're not adding more. Full list released of all their world tour dates.

    I'd go mental if they allowed those crowd in for a second year in a row but they kicked up a fuss over Garth Brooks.

    It's the UFC announcing Jose Aldo's next Featherweight World Title defence, against a certain Conor McGregor at Croke Park in September 2015 ....;)

    it's an MCD announcement, MCD have nothing at all to do with UFC

    They wouldn't make any Conor announcement until his next fight against Siver is outta the way

    Please let it be AC/DC or Fleetwood Mac!! AC/DC at the o2 in 2010 was a gig in a million.

    Failing that my predictions are U2 or Arcade Fire.

    What I'm dreading - Coldplay(zzzzz), ID, Ed Sheeran.

    Post Random Access Memory Daft Punk would probably fill Croker! I saw them in Marley Park, one of the best gigs ever.

    He said it was 150% NOT U2.

    He then went on to say as far as he knows it is The Script. Ewwww.

    If its an Irish band and U2 aren't doing stadiums until 2016 The Script are the only other act I can think of, though I'm not sure even they could fill Croker unless Hozier, Kodaline and the Coronas are all on the support bill.

    Even then they wouldn't fill it

    won't be arcade fire they barely sold 30,000 tickets in marley last summer and they had the pixies as support that sold proably 30-40% of the tickets

    I reckon the fact that they've announced this gig now has all the hallmarks of The Script / Coronas...
    Tickets will go on sale just before Christmas, and they'll be a universal Christmas present from aunts and uncle the country over.
    Smart move.

    The Summer gigs in croker usually go on sale around Feb/March I thought

    It could be the script if the criteria isn't "sell out croke Park" but "sell more tickets than the aviva" still underwhelming though.

    My moneys firmly on The Script.

    I'll go one further and say my money on The Script with support from either the Coronas or Kodaline and either Ed Sheeran or One Republic.


    Script tickets are always reasonable too €35-€50 which helps sales

    (I haven't a clue what I'm talking about)

    An irish band who aren't u2? Has to be the Script..

    They'll need an absolutely massive support (like Ed Sheeran) level to get remotely near selling it though..

    Certainly not the worst choice in the world though.. Better than Coldplay anyway if it ends up being true!
