Garth Brooks announces Ireland tour with Belfast dates sold out

Garth Brooks will perform a multi-city tour of Ireland in 2027. The tour includes Belfast, Galway, Kilkenny, Limerick and Cork. His first two Belfast concerts sold out, and an extra date has already been added.

Cathy O'Reilly got tickets for the very first show of the tour, on 21 May 2027 at Boucher Road Playing Fields. She previously saw Garth Brooks live at two of his Dublin concerts in 2022. Peter Aiken of Aiken Promotions told RTÉ that the new Belfast gig is red hot.

Garth Brooks is the biggest selling artist in US history and is the only artist to pass 200 million albums sold. In 2014 about 400,000 fans booked tickets for five Croke Park concerts in Dublin, but Dublin City Council only granted permission for three. Brooks said he would only perform all five concerts or none, so the shows were cancelled.

Stephen Butler from Newtownabbey performs as a Garth Brooks tribute act with the band Thunder Rolls. Stephen Butler's mother was a fan of Garth Brooks and always played his music and bought his albums. Stephen Butler was able to get four or five tickets about a week or two before the Croke Park shows.
