Bruce Springsteen rocks up to Croke Park on Sunday, May 19th, for the final date on his four-concert tour of Ireland. Over the three gigs to date, Springsteen and the E Street Band have enthralled and surprised fans in equal measure. It seems like an age since he took to the stage in spectacular fashion at Boucher Playing Fields in Belfast , which our reviewer described as an “immense show” .

The Boss kicked off at a damp and wet Páirc Uí Chaoimh , Cork , on Thursday evening with a cover version of Creedence Clearwater Revival’s Who’ll Stop the Rain, before leaving almost everyone in the 40,000-plus crowd a little teary eyed by closing with a cover of The Pogues’ Rainy Night in Soho, in tribute to the late Shane MacGowan . In between, he played several songs suggested by members of the crowd holding placards, including Santa Claus Is Comin’ to Town. Last Sunday night at Nowlan Park, Kilkenny , Springsteen also played a passionate rendition of A Rainy Night in Soho.



Fans told The Irish Times it was a “performance full of emotion and genuine warmth” and “a phenomenal and incredible evening” .
