The Script and One Direction favourites as Paddy Power release odds on Croker gig

Tomorrow’s Croke Park concert announcement is the talk of the nation and we are still no closer to finding out who it is going to be.

Paddy Power however are now taking bets as to which major act will be playing in Dublin next summer.

The bookies make The Script and One Direction their favourites at 1/5 and 3/1 odds respectively ahead of Garth Brooks who has been given a 8/1 shot.

Can't wait to sing all my fave Script songs next summer at Croker. Like... that slow one. And that one in the advert. And... the other one.

U2,AC/DC and Maroon 5 are also coming in at 8/1 each.

Near the bottom of the list we have British boyband Take That, who recently parted company with mamber Jason Orange, at 25/1.

Even less likely is former Irish supergroup Westlife coming in at 33/1 for a reunion at the home of GAA.

"Following the Garth Brooks debacle earlier in the year, Irish music fans are crying our or a major act to play here in the near future." said a Paddy Power spokesperson.

"One Direction are the early favourites as they have been spotted in London in recent days and are due to play a number European shows next summer.”

Other names that have been thrown around are Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and even Coldplay but we will have to wait until 10.15am tomorrow to find out.

All odds are subject to change. Follow Paddy Power on twitter for live updates.

If Garth brooks is the #crokepark announcement tomorrow I'm moving, out of the country. But my money is on an S Club Juniors reunion 🙏
