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.

Colm Stephens from the Clonliffe & Croke Park Area Residents Association says seven concerts in one year is too many

A representative of the Croke Park Area Residents Association has said they are opposed to more than three concerts per year in the GAA stadium | @_vivclarke & @griffin_caitlin reports https://t.co/8DmbEtA8CD
