What is that first event? Anyone know?

Clouseau is by far the most popular band here in Flanders, Belgium. They play the Sportpaleis (arena, +/- 15,000 seats) every year in winter, and sell it out some 15 - 20 times every year. It's become such a popular event that you can even start booking tickets for it a year in advance! I'm not a fan of them myself, but went to their Sportpaleis concert a few years ago (mainly to see what all the fuss was about) and I have to admit, it was surprisingly good!
To give you an idea of the style of music (you won't understand the singing, it's in Dutch):

Thanks for that. I knew someone here could tell me. (I could have Googled, but today's a holiday in the U.S. and that sounded like work!)

-Promoter

Still dont understand it as it states that the amount who atteneded Twick on both nights was 98,000 and the capicity was 98,000 and the 2 shows were sellouts. and there was on 42,000 at Punchestown that does not seem right to me

I'm not saying the info is right...
Remember that venues can manipulate "sellout" numbers almost any way they want.

The "capacity" number is set by the promoter, AEG before the tickets go on sale (this is industry standard). That figure in NO way represents the actual capacity of the stadium. And the figure, is audited, so the number reported by Billboard is the number that was reported to the venue upon "settling up" by the tour accountant.
