Coldplay sell out Croke Park concert

The band last played in Ireland in 2011 at Oxegen festival where, in a memorable performance, Christy Moore came out on stage for a duet with Chris Martin.

Disappointed fans are hoping that the strong demand for tickets will lead to promoters adding a second date to the tour. They've been given some hope after extra dates were recently added to their tour stops in Milan, Cardiff and Brussels following sell-out shows there.

A Head Full Of Dreams has sold more than 4 million copies since its December 2015 release and has spawned the hit singles 'Adventure Of A Lifetime', 'Hymn For The Weekend' and 'Up&Up'.
