Of all of the concert locales he’s performed at, one country stands out to Garth Brooks. He’s called it “my favorite place” to sing, and now he’s returning there for a string of concerts.
Which country is it?
Ireland. “No matter where I am in the world, when I am asked what place I like to sing, I say Ireland. It is just phenomenal,” Brooks told BBC. And now he’s returning there for 10 concerts, and he’s revealed that it’s going to be “crazy.” He added that he wants to give fans “something better than before.”
But when and where are his Irish performances? Tickets are selling out fast.
Garth Brooks Announced That He Will be Visiting New Cities in Ireland Where He’s Never Performed Before
Brooks announced details of his Irish tour on his website. “Garth Brooks just announced on social media that he’s returning to Ireland in 2027! The Garth Brooks Irish Tour includes ten shows at five cities across the Emerald Isle– Belfast, Galway, Kilkenny, Limerick and Cork,” the singer wrote on his website.
“For Garth, it’s all about keeping a promise,” his website says.
“I told the people in Dublin from stage that I always ask Ireland to come to Dublin. So I promised them if I got to tour again, I would come see them throughout the country,” Garth explains. “We have never gotten to play these cities as their own concerts, and it’s been decades since we played Belfast. I can’t explain how much I am looking forward to this!”
