Social media went into overdrive today as news broke that permission was granted for just three Garth Brooks shows at Croke Park.
The decision by Dublin City Council means that 160,000 Garth Brooks fans are now wondering whether or not they will get to see the country singer live this July.
But in the meantime, the reactions from some people on social media might cheer them up...
Garth Brooks should have made some friends in higher places.

News of the cancelled gigs has also reached Japan...
What we now want to know is what does Garth Brooks ‘real’ fictional alter-ego from the 1990s Chris Gaines makes of the news...
And an art gallery in Dublin has added to the disappointment for Garth Brooks fans by posting the sign below in their window display:
