Queen Bey might have wanted Champagne on hand at Croker last night, but it seems what the megastar really needed to kick off the Irish leg of her Formation world tour was a pint of the black stuff.

A new photo has appeared online of Beyoncé enjoying a pint of Guinness shortly before her Dublin performance last night.

Wearing the same white dress she’d worn to watch Serena Williams win her 22nd Grand Slam title hours before, the Sorry singer posed with a pint while showing the camera her foamy Guinness tash.

 

Naturally the image has everyone pretty excited on Twitter with one user writing: “Beyoncé drinking Guinness is pure joy.”

While another said: “Beyoncé drinking Guinness backstage is #WeekendGoals.”

75,000 fans were treated to a major performance by the star last night as she paid tribute to Prince, revealed behind-the-scenes footage of her family life with Jay Z and Blue Ivy and even appeared to walk on water. 

Since her pre-show fuel was a pint of Ireland's most iconic beverage, we're not surprised Sasha Fierce totally smashed it.

If you were in Ireland in the summer of 2014, then you'll probably remember the disaster that was the Garth Brooks concerts.

The singer had to cancel FIVE gigs as residents around Croke Park complained that it was too much, but now, the country singer wants to return.

An insider told The Irish Sun: “The message we got from Garth’s people is we need to talk urgently and get these Irish concerts sorted soon."

Apparently, Garth saw the success of Bruce Springsteen last weekend, and he himself wants to play an Irish concert once and for all.

“So much that went wrong before with Garth’s concerts was down to officialdom in Ireland so to have the Taoiseach making such a public show [for Bruce Springsteen] of how he was enjoying a concert at Croke Park is significant," the source revealed.

We're all on for it – we just won't get our hopes up!

Beyonce was undoubtedly the star of the Superbowl half-time show last night. She is Queen Bey, afterall.

But, there was one heart-stopping moment when the queen herself nearly fell over.

But, as it is Beyonce afterall, she proved herself to be the ultimate showgirl by saving a disastrous fall by flipping over in an excellent freestyle dance move.

The mum-of-one was in the middle of an erratic performance when eagle-eyed viewers spotted her stumble as she sang her new song, Formation.

And the little blunder didn't go unnoticed by fans either:

Meanwhile, she also announced a WORLD TOUR this summer, and we're so friggin' excited.

Beyonce is coming to Dublin once more… Now the only question is, who will score tickets?!

After much speculation this week, it seems Bruce Springsteen will indeed be coming to Ireland this summer.

The Boss will play a massive gig at Croke Park on Friday May 27, as part of his River tour, and tickets will go on sale next Thursday February 11 at 9am.

And according to the Irish Independent this morning, a second date will be added for May 28, with the possibility of a third date down the line.

This will be Bruce's first time playing at Croker, though he has had a number of sell-out gigs in Ireland before.

Croke Park's concert schedule has been the subject of some controversy in recent years, with all five of Garth Brooks' 2014 gigs cancelled after the venue's three-gig policy was exceeded.

Bruce's gigs will reportedly mean that some GAA games have to be rescheduled.

While many are still coping with the emotional rollercoaster that was the great Garth Brooks debacle of 2014, there may be some recent developments that will ease the pain.

Garth Brooks might actually be coming to visit after all.

Hurrah! Country music fans everywhere can rejoice at the prospect of their favourite musician making the Irish trip they have been longing for.

However, it may not be exactly the kind of performance laden trip fans were hoping to get.

A new play based on the Croke Park debacle has just started a two-week run at Dublin's Gaiety Theatre – and apparently Garth wants a front row seat.

Are You There Garth? It's Me Margaret was created by Darren Smith, the man behind Anglo: The Musical and a former PR whizz for Garth.

Speaking to the Irish Mirror, Darren said Garth was keen to check out the play, described as a tale of "country music and Ireland's darkest hour."

Garth "knows about the show", says Darren, and he's "very interested" in checking it out.

"I wouldn’t be stunned at all if we had a special visitor in a Stetson next week," the playwright adds.

Last year, the plan was for the country superstar to kick-off his comeback world tour in Dublin's Croke Park. Residents of the area protested, taking issue with the fact he hadn’t secured a licence to do so. This was despite having sold 400,000 tickets.

Garth said he would: “crawl, swim or fly” in an effort to play the shows – but Dublin city council would only agree to three and the singer said it was either five shows or no shows.

In the end, almost a half a million ticket-holders were left pretty heart-broken and there was an estimated loss of €50million in expected revenue.

Almost 160,000 fans were lucky enough to see Ed Sheeran play this weekend in Croke Park. 

There were lots of surprises over the weekend, including special guests, proposals… and impromptu sing songs. A crowd of fans were on their way out of Croke Park when they were led in song by a steward singing Molly Malone.

The crowds were in high spirits leaving the stadium, which is positive considering that trying to make your way out of an arena after a concert is usually a VERY stressful ordeal.

Noel Gallagher visited Cork to play the Marquee last week, and he got a little nostalgic being back in Ireland. 

In an interview with the Irish examiner Noel let us in on a side of him that we had no clue about, he used to play Gaelic football. 

He explained: "I was in a Gaelic football team in Manchester, it was fucking great and all." and it turns out, he even scored a point in the holy grail of GAA, Croke Park. 

Noel said that there's a picture of him scoring the point floating around somewhere, he has seen it, but not in the last few years. A photo has emerged of the team he was on where he sits in front of the goalie before a match. 

The musician is best known for previously being a member of the iconic band Oasis, but could a sporting career be on the cards for him?

It looks like Ed Sheeran is getting ready to release a film of his own… and we can’t wait!

The Give Me Love singer has sold out three concerts in Wembley Stadium in July and a camera crew is going to be there to capture the action.

The film is going to be a documentary that follows the 24-year-old backstage at the concerts and, of course, the gigs themselves. Between the three concerts, Mr Sheeran will be performing for approximately 27,000 fans.

Ed is following in the footsteps of Justin Bieber, Katy Perry, and One Direction, all who have released their own concert documentaries, to great response.

Speaking about the upcoming film Ed said, “We are doing something for the Wembley Stadium gigs. It will be a documentary. It’s going to go out in cinemas in the UK and Europe. But it’s just going to be a one-off thing.”

The Photograph singer is playing in Dublin’s Croke Park on the 24th and 25th of July. Tickets are still on sale for €80 but if that is too pricey at least now you will be able to enjoy the Ed Sheeran concert experience for a lot cheaper and from the comfort of your own home!
