Bon Jovi have been confirmed as the headline act for Slane next year.
The concert will take place on June 15. Tickets will go on sale at 8:00am on Thursday November 8 from Ticketmaster outlets nationwide, priced from €79.50 including booking fee.
Lead singer Jon Bon Jovi flew into Slane Castle by helicopter today for the announcement.
Speaking at today's press announcement, Slane Castle's Lord Henry Mountcharles said: "I have seen Bon Jovi live and was deeply impressed. They are one of the most successful touring acts in rock and roll history.
"Over the years I have been bombarded with requests for them to play Slane. Last week one from America read 'Bon Jovi at Slane?! Could my dreams have come true?!' Now I am thrilled to say those dreams are a reality."
Bon Jovi's new album What About Now is due out next spring.
