"It didn't go so well last time" - Twitter reacts to alleged Garth Brooks return

The possibility of country star Garth Brooks returning to Croke Park has set Irish Twitter ablaze, with everyone from Blindboy to broadcasters commenting on the potential gigs. 

It's seven years since five planned nights at the stadium were all scrapped by Brooks after Dublin City Council granted licenses for just three of the nights. Hundreds of thousands of tickets were refunded to disappointed fans. 

News of the potential comeback circulated online yesterday evening and Twitter users had plenty to say: 

Lads, I'm so bloody excited.

I heard that the Garth Brooks gig will be his last ever. The croke park revellers will toss confetti rice on stage, and his innards will explode like those of a pigeon at a wedding

If @garthbrooks is turned away in the Capital again he’d be more than welcome in the West of Ireland! #GarthBrooks #CrokePark #Galway #Pearse pic.twitter.com/eTOBq4y04O

Eureka! Have finally figured out how to get Irish media to cover #climate change obsessively:

How about we simply rename it "Garth Brooks"?

So, "Garth Brooks" is coming to Ireland? Wow, that's going to be *huge*, etc...

Can we please address the fact that Garth Brooks caused nationwide meltdown in Ireland back in 2014.

Ian Bailey, Conor McGregor, Garth Brooks and Niamh Walsh are trending in Ireland. That's enough Twitter for tonight.

Would sell my soul for Garth Brooks tickets if he came back to Ireland.
