The surrounding areas of Croke Park were likened to Tennessee tonight as throngs of country music fans gathered for the first of Garth Brooks' five gigs.
The area has been very busy since this morning as the Friends In Low Places singer prepared to perform to an Irish crowd for the first time in 25 years.
Passersby reported a lot of a Stetsons in the area and said Drumcondra was "like Tennessee". One person said on Twitter: "Felt like I was back living in Tennessee earlier driving through Drumcondra, cowboy boots, hats the lot, Garth Brooks is some man."
