PP offering 60/1 for Bruce Springsteens 2015 Croke Park gig to be cancelled. There is no smoke without fire, fairly nailed on to be the Boss.

Tearin It Up

Reading the independent, a source has told the herald...

And another comment here on boards about the hotels knowing before anyone else.

Yet there's nothing on Aiken promotions website about it being Bruce Springsteen.

Is this the same hotel (from a reliable source) that had inside info last summer that all 5 Garth Brooks concerts were back on???

IF it's Bruce, and knowing his sense of humour, do you reckon i could get odds on him opening with a Garth Brooks song?

Does anyone reckon it might be Garth Brooks?

just kidding, in all seriousness I reckon it'll be Prince.

"According to the Herald"

C'mon RTE, get off the fence.

There's more chance of it being Elvis than Garth Brooks.

His stage is in storage here, could be. Doubt they will attempt the same as last year. It would be a maximum of two concerts though.

There is more chance of it being Garth Brooks rather than Prince over the last Croke Park gig he was supposed to play. Might be Abba tho.

Let's hope for Alan Partridge doing Abba covers

98fm and The Herald should be banned from publication for this (assuming it's not Bruce.. if it is, all is forgiven)

That answers that question so! Ed Sheeran it is so

Poor Ed, the main feeling for nearly any announcement now will be disappointment where as if there had been no hype it might have been mild interest

Fits in....the usual suspects and sites that have Bruce news early on were caught cold on this and don't believe it...disappointing. ...

Seems fair, wishing bad on others since you can't have your way.

Hotpress not giving up http://www.hotpress.com/Bruce-Springsteen/news/Bruce-Springsteen-looks-set-for-Croke-Park/13440867.html

Although if you read that carefully

"24 hours ago, it was readily expected that Ed Sheeran would be the major act playing in Croke Park this summer, but a flurry of rumours this morning suggested that it could be a guitar-toting star from the other side of the Atlantic.
And while there's been no official confirmation that it will be Bruce Springsteen at GAA HQ this summer, HP has been hunting around for the latest, and understands that it's all systems go for the return of The Boss.

Sources with their ears very very close to the ground have told us that, though it sort of came from nowhere, the talk in some high places is about nothing but New Jersey's finest rocking on Irish shores for the first time since 2013.

If Springsteen does indeed play two dates this summer, it will be the last Croker announcement for 2015; last year's debacle involving a certain stetson-clad country star means the three gig rule is very much in operation this time!"

It says nothing at all except we heard the rumours too.

Andy Greene was the one who said dream baby dream was not on an album and a once off single if I remember?.. He's normally scary reliable, but hey a little flicker of hope..

Probably won't be Bruce.. But all.The Irish papers are grabbing it from somewhere.. With this many running it must be something..

Serves him right

Yep it was prob some eejit ringing the Herald after reading something on here and the fact that every single media outlet is reporting it as fact based on " a source for the Herald" says a lot about journalism in Ireland at the moment. Only place I have not seen it is in the Journal which is strange....or I missed it.

Perhaps its the Quo? Status Quo in the Marquee in Cork in July, maybe they are going to do a double header??
