Garth Brooks Ireland concert news as Croke Park residents 'fuming' over late night noise

Garth Brooks is preparing to play five Croke Park concerts over the coming weeks.

Initially set as two nights in the Dublin venue on September 9 and 10, huge demand saw a third added for September 11, followed by two more on September 16 and 17.

The sold-out gigs will see more than 400,000 fans descend on Drumcondra to watch the country music superstar perform across the five nights.

Croke Park will be the only European venue headlined by the 'Friends in Low Places' singer in 2022 and a huge, one-of-a-kind stage is being erected in GAA HQ for the occasion.

The hitmaker has revealed details about the much anticipated gigs in a live stream to fans on his Facebook last week.

He spoke about the “monstrous” stage that has been set up “solely for the Irish shows”.

“The stage is going to be long ways, going out into the crowd. They have to elevate the stage so people at the back can see. This is going to be elevated quite a lot.

“We do confetti off the rig as well, it lowers up and down. This thing is monstrous and it’s set in stone.

“Anyone who has seen a Garth show will not have seen this set-up,” he promised.

Not everyone is happy however, as residents living near the stadium have been left "fuming" over late-night works on Saturday night.

Dublin Live understands that residents were sent an email by Croke Park at 10pm on stating that due to "unforeseen circumstances because of the weather" that night time works have been approved by Dublin City Council.

In a statement, residents were told: "Due to unforeseen circumstances , as a result of the weather, night time works to prevent a structural and potentially serious health and safety issue have been approved by Dublin City Council.

"Attempts are being made to ensure the noise impact to residents remains as minimal as possible. We sincerely apologise and ask for your patience in relation to this unavoidable situation."

Taking to social media, residents living near Croke Park was unimpressed. One person wrote: "Only got told at 10pm tonight night time works going on at Croke Park, really late notice! I'm fuming!"

Another person said: "Absolutely ridiculous. Won't be expecting much sleep tonight."
