It looks like Bruce Springsteen is NOT playing Croke Park this summer

This is a disappointing twist.

Everyone was pretty certain that Bruce Springsteen was the mystery act that will play Croke Park this summer. An announcement is set to take place on Friday, and reports today all but confirmed that The Boss was the going to play at GAA HQ. However, Rolling Stone magazine's associate editor Andy Greene has different information.

Despite reports all over the European press, I have definitive word that Bruce Springsteen is not playing in Croke Park this summer. — Andy Greene (@greeneandy) February 4, 2015

Hmm, who the hell is it going to be? Hat-tip to Aisling Byrne who gave us the heads up.
