Were you at any of them?
As soon as Bruce Springsteen opened his set with an amazing rendition of Darkness on the Edge of Town, the crowd knew that they were in for something special and The Boss didn’t disappoint.
That’s why Ticketmaster Ireland customers have voted Springsteen’s recent shows at Croke Park as their “Ticket of the Year” for 2016. Ok, we haven’t been to every gig this year, but we fully agree with this choice,
After all, it’s BRUUUUUUUUUUUUCE!
Electric Picnic came in second place while Adele, Beyonce and Justin Bieber completed the Top 5. The only home-grown act to make list are Kodaline.
