The first summer 2018 Croke Park gig is... Michael Bublé

Tickets go on sale this Friday.

“THE UNDISPUTED KING of Cool” is coming to Croke Park next year, according to organisers MCD.

Who’s that you may ask? Well, it’s Michael Bublé, apparently.

It’s the first announced gig for Croker in summer 2018 and it will set you back €89.50 if you want to head along.

The concert was first announced on the Ian Dempsey Breakfast Show on Today FM this morning with the broadcaster teasing listeners in advance of the big news.

After putting us all out of our misery, Dempsey said the gig would take place on a 7 July next summer

“So there’s something to look forward to he,” he said, promising a “balmy” evening.

Details then followed from MCD and Croke Park who said it will be “the undisputed ‘King of Cool’s only Irish show in 2018″.

Croke Park said that the gig would be “fully seated”, presumably meaning there’ll be no standing on the famous turf and that seats will be placed on the field.

It won’t be Bublé’s first stadium show in Dublin having previously sold out the Aviva Stadium in 2010. It’s his first time playing on the northside arena though and he seems excited:

I can’t wait to come over to see my fans in Dublin and play Croke Park for my largest ever Irish show! You guys have been patient and I can’t thank you enough for all your support. And for those of you that haven’t seen me live, well… I just haven’t met you yet!

Tickets go on sale this Friday at 9am.

    I suppose looking ahead and seeing that massive swathes of habitat will disappear and not seeing that as a good thing is the alternative?

    I thought it was good for a company that has a very small time frame every year to harvest.

    Pity that they burn all that peat in the power stations. Something not right about that

    Well at least they’re scooping out the middle of Ireland and flogging it to the UK for their gardens and all that will be left is a great big brown swimming pool for further Irish heatwaves and bog snorkeling. They should have to subsidise compulsory swimming lessons on the national curriculum in exchange for the turf.
