Two-day 'Springsteen' concert planned for Croke Park won't impact Garth Brooks gigs

Planning is said to be 'at an advanced stage' for three dates, with options for two more dates on a second weekend, for the Garth Brooks gigs.

A two-day outdoor concert being planned for Croke Park next April will not prevent Garth Brooks playing three concerts and possibly an additional two several months later at the same venue, local authority officials have revealed.

Dublin City Council received an application last month to hold the outdoor event licence on Saturday and Sunday April 23 and 24 by Aiken Promotions for an internationally known act.
