Really don't get the hate for The Script..

They're a decent pop rock band, probably a lot better than Coldplay(now they're bland!) both live and on record.. Put on a damn good show too!

Really?? A lot better than coldplay?? I wouldnt be a massive coldplay fan - nor the script for that matter but i do think that there is a huge difference of class between coldplay and the script - hence why coldplay headline glastonbury etc.... cant imagine the script being asked to do that!

Our 'big music gig' for Ireland in 2015 is The Script with Pharrell supporting. FFS.

suits me, Croker is awful for concerts.

there'll be plenty of far better gigs elsewhere.

AC/DC will be in Slane and the Foos will be in Ireland over the summer..

Theres plenty more 'big gigs' to come.

Croke Park has always had the safe act. Don't see why people are surprised..

I know what you mean there, and also the Phoneix Park/Marlay Park gigs but in terms of the big venue, big act... they could have gone a lot better IMO.

Although to be fair, what big act would try get a gig here, in Croker, after this year's debacle.

Is this what it's come to? Expecting everyone to shell out for bland, anemic, formless crap that wouldn't be out of place on the Grays Anatomy soundtrack?

You're not going to fill Croke Park with anything other than that though are ya?

There are maybe half a dozen acts who could sell out croker, realistically who were you expecting? Ramstein didn't suddenly cancel plans to play cp. Can't blame the residents.

Thanks lads for the date. I like the Script but I couldn't see them the last time they were in Dublin. Due to other demands I won't be able to make this one either. If Hozier were the support act, I'd push the boat out.

Coldplay almost make sleep..

Saw them both at oxegen couple of years ago and the Script really impressed me..

It's Pharrell.. You'd be fine missing him!

Wow, what a let down of an announcement that was.

Everybody together now " EVERY MINUTE EVERY HOUR, TURN YOUR PAIN INTO POWER "

I strangely got a shiver running down my spine writing that......

The pyro would be great cause they'd have about 80% of the pitch free.

JamieHP

Who else, do yous think will support?

Doris300

Pharrell sure does get around and get gigs where people won't appreciate his great talent.

Aw I dunno. I'm not a huge fan of either U2 or AC/DC but I could see those guys drawing big crowds.

I just find the Script so unbelievably and offensively formulaic and sterile... But hey, each to their own.

Well put.

Bono would have his detractors, but yer lad Danny makes me want to consume my own head with cringyness.

MCD are doing a good job hyping these piss poor concerts.

This one surely should have been in Marlay Park or a venue of that equivalent.

Seems quite ridiculous to have this caliber of artists play such a grand venue.

Alas good job with the hype machine MCD. The announcement itself is dire!

not really, they sold out the Aviva which holds 55,000.
Marlay Park is at least 10k less than that.

Funny thing is, i went to one of the U2 gigs back in Croker and The Script were one of the acts that were supoorting, when The Script came on , they did a soundcheck for about 5 minutes, which was actually good and then they stopped and started into one of their dreary ballad type songs, and thats when i tuned out....................

Dubliner28

The pitch seems to be split into 4 different sections? Is this the norm now?

That's grand. At least i dont have to worry about being disappointed in the rush for tickets for this. Are the script capable of fillin the place?

Not sure why that defaults to the "One direction Seated" chart.

Think thats just 1D I'd imagine it'll be back to normal by Thursday.

Do people really like the Script enough to sell out Croke Park? Always seemed like an even more inoffensive version of Snow Patrol to me.

Meangadh

To be honest, I'd be unsure of them selling out Croke Park... I know they're fairly popular, but over 80,000 tickets?

I'm with the others on the underwhelming feeling after the announcement. I have no ill feelings towards The Script, they're clearly successful in what they do- but I was genuinely expecting a bigger name. Very meh from me anyway.

With Pharrel, seriously doubt it..

GalwayGirl26

I like The Script. Saw them at Oxegen years ago and they were one of my highlights.
What I can't get over is Pharrell or the 80eur. That'd put me off anyhow....
The Coronas, Kodaline, Hozier and The Script would have been an excellent idea.

Don't quite get your interpretation of Glasto to be honest considering its prob the most mass marketed festival in Europe, tickets sell out before line up is announced so no suprise mainstream sh1te headline there every year in the same vein as the script IMO, Kings of Leon, Travis, Killers, Mumford and sons etc oh and Coldplay.

AlanG

Oh Well, Looks like the Aviva will be the venue for the big group this summer. Its booked for a min 3 night concert run in the summer. Now who could that be?????
