Metallica countdown clock ends at 1p.m. ET. ND announcement is at 10a.m. ET.

Maybe Metallica’s announcement is the full tour.

dmb and phish could sell out nd stadium.

I agree, though I couldn't see Phish bringing the type of crowd that ND would want. Not until concerts are the new norm for the venue/area. Just as ND did with Garth Brooks last year, I would think their first several shows will consist of extremely big names that bring safe crowds. Once everyone (the old fashioned "get off my lawn" types) is used to concerts being hosted at ND stadium, I project they will begin to open their minds to different crowds.

I could also see acts like Billie Eillish and Drake selling out the joint, but I just don't see ND going in that direction quite yet.

Out of sheer boredom during a 12 hour midnight shift, I thought to make a list of acts that COULD sell out ND Stadium. And acts that ND Stadium would have perform there. I even think a few of these would be stretches. This does NOT take into account any currently scheduled tours or anything (except Metallica not touring with James' ongoing battle). For all I know, Elton John will have completed his farewell tour and the RHCP could be in Europe next summer

Rolling Stones 
Paul McCartney 
Billy Joel
Elton John
RHCP 
Pearl Jam 
Foo Fighters 
Kenny Chesney/Luke Bryan/JasonAldean
Beyonce
Taylor Swift 
DMB

Unlikely chance:
Billie Eilish
Phish
Drake
Coldplay 

Any other realistic possibilities? At this time, I would guess: T Swizzle 

***Updated to add DMB and the "unlikely chance" section.

I think U2 is done for a while after this Asia Joshua Tree tour. 

Correct! No tour plans after Mumbai 12/15.

Looking forward to the Achtung Baby anniversary tour hopefully in 2021

Thought it had something to do with the S&M 2 movies and possible release

I think you can put Pearl Jam in the unlikely section as well. 85,000 fans is a stretch for them. Also where are we getting the hype from for this. The simple fact it is a concert announcement? A cool venue?

Maybe but that’s not a surprise. The movie was announced weeks ago.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band certainly sell out stadiums in Europe. 

Knowing Pearl Jam dates would be very helpful in planning the year!

Slane castle 2020 will be announced soon. PJ would fill it. 80k

U2 - makes sense though I'm not a big fan
Rolling Stones 
Paul McCartney 
Billy Joel
Elton John
RHCP

Iron Maiden. I’m sure the priests would love some OG Eddy!!

Think that would be wishfull thinking to fill slane. Hopefully If we are lucky to get a show, its not slane, most overrated venue. Horrilbe place to get in and out off.

Amen to that. A complete nightmare.  I'd take any show in Dublin.

An R.E.M. reunion show would sell it out.  As would, of course a Led Zep but those go under "unlikely chance."

Don't sleep on Ed Sheeran as he's had successful tours over the past 2 years.  As have Bieber, but guessing it's not them, either.

Maybe a Guns n Roses show with even more original members?

I'd say either Kenny Chesney or Taylor would be the most logical, but I can see the Stones playing there, too.

Agreed, for me I have to travel through slane to get to dublin, but slane is just an awful venue. Would love the Aviva with 50k which would be more realistic to fill. 

DEGBTI

hasn't Taylor Swift and Billie Eilish already announced their tours? As well Metalica just announced they are done for now. 

YourDirtisMyfood

Maybe Jay Z and Justin Timberlake joint show?

I’m guessing Notre Dame won’t book an act that openly supports Planned Parenthood. I’m going with country music.
