Google flights is a great tool, but a lot of the discount airlines won't show up there... Wow Air (which I discovered from a tip here) has fantastic rates from several cities around US..Quote

Air fares fluctuate all the time,what's on sale today to fly in June can be a significantly different price tomorrow.
You should use Google flights and if used properly this will even give you the right time to buy.

I saw the notice in the newspaper last Friday and it was very clear that it would be for Thurs 17th May if it gets the go ahead, 3 weeks has been given from when the council receives it for people to review and send in submissions. I would think it will be highly sensitive until or if it passes through the process given past experience. The only definitive do far is its not Garth brooks per the GAA official last week. I am sure Peter Aiken is not going to be drawn into any detail on it for now.

plan on doing this for a UK show if dates suite me and theres no irish show this summer
Fly over early in the morning, go out to the stadium area for food/drinks etc and then after the show go back to the airport and get the early flight back to Dublin

So what do we know?
There will be a UK tour with some mainland shows.
For the UK it is assumed they will play England, Ireland, Scotland and maybe Wales and North. Ireland.
Only Twickenham and Ireland (Croke Park?) are rumoured.
For mainland there were rumours about:
- Poland
- Germany in the north (was it Berlin?)
- Germany in the south (Stuttgart)
- Iceland festival (seems unlikely)
- Belgium (Werchter still has a headliner to anounce and werchter classic the same. They almost never skip Werchter, but they did in 2017)
Am I missing anything?

I think Gazza may have done this b4, flying from London to Belfast after the O2 shows in 2012.

Meanwhile, the concert boss was keeping tight-lipped on whether he is applying for permission to hold a fourth gig at Croke Park this summer.
But he did quash rumours he has booked the Rolling Stones for the slot, saying: “I don’t know where that came from.”

If they're playing Croke Park, theres not a chance in hell there'll be another gig anywhere else in Ireland. Its the third largest stadium in Europe, after the Camp Nou and Wembley.
Its a bit disconcerting that there are no rumours of any UK dates other than London. They've overlooked the rest of the country really badly since 2006 (in fact, I'd argue that its been since 1990) and the vast size of the venues that have been mooted has me pretty convinced more than I was all along that this talk of 8-10 shows in the UK is totally impractical.
Unless they're planning to play arena dates in a few other cities, which is pretty unlikely it would seem.

No. You'll know more about whether or not Croke Park is allowed to stage a concert on May 17th. They may or may not confirm who the act is at that time.
Stones tours (like most major acts) tend to get announced where a series of dates get confirmed at the same time as opposed to several individual shows getting confirmed separately. Not all licence applications get approved at the same time so its more likely they'll wait until 10,12,13 or whatever it may be) shows are finalised before announcing a string of concerts. They're working with several different promoters in several different countries with different laws so a European tour (especially one which has outdoor events) is more logistically difficult to tie up than those in other markets.

...I'm a bit lost, again -
what does that mean, "OPENIG NIGHT"?
I thought Croke Park was a location - not a (multiple days) festival, or something in that respect...?
