US singer Shaggy caused hysteria in Dublin yesterday after announcing a free gig in Toner’s.
The reggae king was in the capital with Orchard Thieves for their The Bold Hour campaign and had nineties lovers queueing in their droves to see him.
Many took to social media first to share their surprise that the US star could command such mania still in 2016:

The queue outside Toners for Shaggy is more than a block long. For Shaggy. In 2016.

Big Q outside toners. I fear the bona fide, 100% Shaggy fans will be denied admittance by bored students looking for free cider
