2005 saw U2 bringing their Vertigo Tour to Croke Park in Dublin for three dates in the summer (24, 25 and 27 June) following the release of the band's long-awaited eleventh studio album, How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb the previous year. U2 broke Irish box office marks with ticket sales for these Croke Park concerts, after more than 240,000 tickets were sold in record time.
= July
=July marked the 20th anniversary of Live Aid, an event which Bob Geldof had played a significant role in organising. In an attempt to highlight the growing need to cancel Third World debt, Geldof, Bono, Elton John and many others in the music industry campaigned for justice in the build-up to the G8 Conference and Summit in Scotland, leading to the organisation of Live 8 on 2 July. The event, which was only announced by Geldof on 30 May was on a much larger scale than Live Aid, with 10 simultaneous concerts in 9 different countries broadcast live around the world. However, unlike its predecessor, its main aim was to highlight inequalities as opposed to raising money. U2 opened the Hyde Park concert with their rendition of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" alongside Paul McCartney. Snow Patrol performed later.
Oasis played a sold-out show in Marlay Park, Dublin on Saturday 16 or Sunday 17 July .
