TikTok star Garron Noone overcomes on stage glitch thanks to Robbie Williams’ quick thinking

Irish TikTok sensation Garron Noone stole the show at Croke Park on Saturday night when he joined Robbie Williams on stage in front of 80,000 fans, in a moment that few in the crowd will forget, for more than one reason.

The Mayo native, who has a massive 2.1 million TikTok followers was invited by Williams to perform a duet of “Take Me Home, Country Roads”.

Backed by The Fiddling Farrells, the collaboration brought the house down and lit up social media within minutes.

After the concert, Noone admitted on TikTok that he had experienced some technical difficulties on stage, explaining: “I had trouble hearing the monitors, so I was playing out of time for a little while.”

Spotting the issue, Williams' quickly stepped in to help his guest. “Robbie stood in front of me and clapped so I could see the beat, and we were away again,” said Noone who went on to praise the pop star’s quick thinking and generosity.

The pop superstar was also full of praise for Noone, telling the Croke Park crowd: “Look after this man, he’s f**ing delicious.” The endorsement not only echoed Noone’s famous line, but also cemented the moment as one of the standout highlights of Williams Irish tour.

For Noone, the performance carried added significance. Earlier this year, he announced he was taking a step back from live gigging to prioritise his mental health. Speaking candidly at the time, he shared his struggles with anxiety and agoraphobia, and thanked his followers for their support. Saturday’s stadium appearance marked an emotional and triumphant return to live performance on the biggest of Irish stages.

Reflecting on the experience afterwards, Noone told his fans: “So I got to go up on stage with Robbie Williams in Croke Park last night, absolutely mental. Thanks a million to Robbie, not only the greatest entertainer but honestly an even better human being. Eighty thousand people there last night, thank you so much, you were so kind to me when I came out and stuck with me".

Garron being announced as a guest on the night marked the second surprise for fans. Just the night before, on Friday evening, the pair delighted crowds at Dublin’s 37 Dawson Street, where Williams joined Noone for an impromptu singalong of Joe Dolan’s your such a good looking woman and a selection of other Irish favourites. The performance quickly went viral online, generating excitement ahead of the Croke Park concert.
