What Band Would You Put In Croker

Ok, so you are Denis Desmond for a day and you are given the task of putting on a gig in Croke Park. What band would you choose - outside of any bands that have played there already.

I suppose we will get the Wolfe Tones but however, I be interested to see who you think would draw the biggest crowd.

Can you do an undercard so to speak then a headliner?

Gnevin · October 24, 2007, 04:56:23 PM

The Boss and the E street band!

Meat Loaf... gotta be Meat Loaf.

Probably the biggest crowd puller would be the Boyzone reunion, which is alleged to be happening.

I would love to see Bruce Springsteen in Croker, two night should be enough!

Gnevin · October 24, 2007, 04:57:57 PM

but of course if you wanted to fill Croker their is only one sure way. Get a few Dub(liners)s in their!

Original line up or current because if its original you may as well include dead bands too?

I'd have the Ballyroan Brass Band before either of them.

What about Mark Knoffler? http://www.artistdirect.com/nad/window/media/page/listen/0,,4387618,00.html
Steve Earle?

It hurts me to say this but on this occasion i agree with gnevin and tankie it would have to be the boss and the e street band, of course the stage would have to be set up on the canal end wouldn't want to upset the dubs

maybe paul daniels and deebie magee could do some tricks to keep the crowd entertained instead of having a support act

I have to laugh at the post number of that post Deel 666 , See agreeing with Dubs is evil
