There are doubts over whether Garth Brooks will get to play all five nights at Croke Park later this month.

The Irish Independent reports that Dublin City Council bosses are considering granting a licence for only three of the gigs. A decision is expected to be announced later today.

There is speculation that two of the five nights could be moved to the Aviva or the RDS however this has been deemed by some as logistically impossible.

Brooks is due to play five nights at Croke Park starting on Friday July 25th. Local residents launched a campaign opposing the gigs, based on the commitment that only three such concerts would be held in any year.

 

UPDATE 11.45: The GAA has confirmed that two of the concerts have been CANCELLED. Read here.
