    It was mentioned in the Irish Times yesterday that Trinity might he used to host 5,000 capacity gigs during the summer. Not sure if it meant  outdoors or in a marquee.

    Alt-J, James Vincent McMorrow and Lord mentioned as possible acts.

    How many fit in Iveagh Gardens? Seem a similar venue.
    3000

    It looks like this guy might be someone to follow for future gig announcements. He seems to be in the know.

    Despite that he tagged Aiken?

    Any chance of a Foo Fighters show anywhere in Ireland next year ???

    Love if they played Aviva or Croke Park

    Expecting Bon Jovi to announce a Euro tour shortly after Christmas

    I'd be shocked. It seems a small tour to make up for cancelled shows last time out. They might add in Glastonbury, but wouldn't expect other UK shows even.

    Lady Gaga is expected to announce a World Tour straight after she plays the Super Bowl Halftime Show on Sunday February 5.
    She's played Ireland on all of her tours to date so I'd imagine she'll come back. Expecting 1-2 nights at the 3Arena.
    From looking at her previous schedules she tends to play Europe in Autumn but she's been tipped to play Glastonbury (not headlining) next summer.

    *Edit - I could easily see her headlining the Sziget Festival in Budapest in August also

    Does anyone think Bon jovi will announce a tour before Christmas? There still announcing US dates at the moment I see. It would make a Christmas present a lot easier to buy as i am struggling with ideas at the moment!

    in 2014 Garth Brooks sold 400,000 tickets for 5 Croke Park dates (which didnt go ahead) so for 2017 or 2018 it would make sense for him to do an Irish stadium tour

    heres an example of where and how many people he may play too

    Aviva Stadium Dublin (2 nights)- 48,000x2 (96,000)
    Kings Hall Belfast (2 nights)- 28,000x2 (56,000)
    PUC Cork (2 nights)- 40,000x2 (80,000)
    Thonmond Park Limerick (2 nights)- 28,000x2 (56,000)
    Nowlan Park Kilkenny (2 nights)- 27,000x2 (54,000)

    total 342,000

    As the shows would not be comeback specials a lot of overseas fans would not travel over to see him here compared to 2014, a lot of bandwagon fans may not attend

    he will prob just play Croke Park and Belfast whenever he comes back here

    Maybe a Garth Brooks tour but doubt it

    Bieber or someother pop act

    Bon Jovi would not be the spin 1038 demographic

    Really hope it's not a band I like as I spent a fortune on tickets the last few weeks

    Yup!

    With it being spin I'd imagine it's very pop!

    Extremely cynical behaviour but it seems to be the norm in this part of the world.
    Every tom dick and harry is trying to cash in on the Christmas market .

    Think it's musicians who have no souls. They were releasing albums for Christmas long before concert tickets

    So was there an announcement yesterday? Or is there one due today? There's no other news about a Croke Park gig.

    Ohh, that's good.

    Two free dates in Croker. And the RDS is in use?

    It's looking likely that Garth Brooks will play.

    Stevie Nicks announced as special guest at Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers gig in London this July (European exclusive for Petty).

    I wonder does that mean she is doing a solo tour this summer?
