Rocket man to line out at home of reds

THE new €40 million Thomond Park stadium has hit the concert jackpot with Elton John signing up to perform in the Limerick rugby venue next June.

Up to 20,000 fans will be able to attend the June 6 concert, promoter Peter Aiken said yesterday.

His company, Aiken Promotions, has signed a deal for exclusive concert use of Thomond Park for 2009.
