In case you have been living under a rock on the moon, you may have heard this morning that two of the Garth Brooks gigs in Croke Park have been cancelled due to residents complaints about licencing for the concerts.
As you can imagine, with five sold out nights at Croke Park, this meant a hell of a lot of people may not get to see Garth Brooks this summer.
The reaction on Twitter to the news ranged from angry, hilarious to downright brilliant. Here are some of the best tweets.
I predict a riot #GarthBrooks

What the hell is half the country going to do with their Dunne's Stores cowboy hats now? #GarthBrooks

Don't panic #GarthBrooks fans, there's still a chance Chris Gaines could do the two nights. Wouldn't that be a treat?!

Does this mean we will have 60,000 aimless line-dancers roaming free? #garthbrooks

The GAA have threatened Garth Brooks with a 6 month suspension if he plays any concerts at a soccer or rugby stadium #GarthBrooks #gaa

Garth Brooks isn't even available on Spotify. Dublin City Council is far more powerful than I had ever imagined… #GarthBrooks

It would appear from reading the #GarthBrooks hashtag that we are in imminent danger of a 2nd civil war. This time it's Dubs vs culchies.

People have got to stop using #Garthgate… You'll have poor ol' Gareth Gates very confused #GarthBrooks #garthbrookscrokepark

People don't realise it was ACTUALLY the staff of Coppers who made the objections. Three nights was their limit. #GarthBrooks

Does anyone have any jokes about friends in high / low places…. haven't heard 10million in the last 40 minutes #GarthBrooks

Judging by the jokes on Twitter, people know exactly one #GarthBrooks song.
