Just caught this at the end of an article about Thomond Park Ltd's financial performance this year:
Mr Cantwell said that the figure was in line with budget. He said the stadium would host at least one concert this year – Bruce Springsteen in July – and possibly another in August. Negotiations are also ongoing on hosting a high profile soccer match in July.

I'm guessing they're not talking about Limerick's crunch tie with Bray Wanderers, but I'd wager it'll be the same weekend since that's listed on LFC's website as:
Fri/Sat/Sun 11/12/13th July TBC
There's no international window planned this July, so it must be a pre-season (for Europe) club game. Assuming the FAI haven't changed their stance on big club games taking place outside the Aviva, we're looking at an English or Scottish club possibly playing another European club?
