5 Garth Brooks & 2 Ed Sheeran gigs are planned for 2022.

Croke Park residents have compared concerts at the stadium to a nightclub with 80-thousand people in the middle of a residential area.

A meeting between locals, stadium bosses and promoters last night heard all five Garth Brooks concerts are expected to go ahead next year.

That's on top of two Ed Sheeran gigs.
