Garth Brooks playing to 400,000 Irish country music fans but his show has no support act whatsoever, not even an Irish one to play before he comes on stage. Can you feel the rage from this lot?

Listen, they can play some cover versions in a pub somewhere, they’ll be fine
Who are all these people? (Besides Daniel O’Donnell)
There’s still time to announce, it’s not like it actually matters
Why are the eternal words of Fr Jack Hackett ringing in my ears?
“GOBSHITES!”
Fuck them. Irish country music is the biggest load of shite anyway.
I look at that and I think midlands hotels and carvery lunches. Shudder!
​
Irish country and western is a special kind of awful.
If I paid to see Garth Brooks and Nathan fucking Carter walked out at any stage of the show, I would demand my money back.
Depends on the band if I’m honest.
If it’s a band I’m really into, no warm up required, inject that shit straight into my ears. Support bands usually only prolong the wait for the band you paid to see while you plough through €7 pints waiting.
If it’s a band I’m not too up on, sure, a support or 2 before is fine.
Went to a gig recently, a band I fucking love, and they had no support. Doors opened, people got their drinks and their merch, venue was full within a half hour and they came on about 45 minutes after doors opened, couldn’t have asked for anything better.
A lot of weird looking people in that picture. Don’t zoom in.
Why would an international mega star like GB have any of the pictured z listers open for him?
Acts of his stature don’t need warm up acts.
(I’m not even a fan btw)
A lady at work got a ticket for the Friday show from her son who obviously didn’t communicate with his sister, because she got her a ticket for Saturday! She’s gonna go both nights, might as well!
They should get Chris Gaines to do support.
I mean Garth Brooks is one of the best selling artists in the world, I understand him not wanting to have an opening band.
It’s bad enough they have to sit through Garth Brooks.
Even if he did have a support act, would it be any of them? I’m not sure GB music has any resemblance to the z rate Irish country music artists
No cunt-ry for for fake country.
Surly they should have called upon the mighty Richie Kavanagh… can you imagine 50k people singing pluck pluck pluck off?
Garth Brooks cares too much about his fans to have any of them open for him.
The families need closure, Garth
Declan Nerney just punched his hand through a window.
It’s only show how awful Garth is by having Daniel open for him.
Worse; Van Morrison came to Chicago and played BLUES music all night (because you can’t hear any blues in Chicago , ever)!
There’s a world of musical difference between American country music and Irish country music.
Ireland is strange in that once you drive ten minutes into the countryside, there is a separate musical culture where people live for songs about tractors
I like Garth Brooks, I hate all of these cunts. He’s doing us a favour.
Out of that whole pile of unfortunate looking eejits, DOD is the only one I recognise
I’m excited about the no support act, it will give him more time on stage and with any luck Trisha Yearwood will sing with him
