Garth Brooks Announces 10 Irish Concerts for 2027

Country music singer Garth Brooks has announced 10 concerts across five Irish cities for 2027.

Tour dates and venues

The tour will begin at Boucher Road Playing Fields in Belfast on Friday 21 and Saturday 22 May, before moving to Pearse Stadium in Galway on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 May.

Brooks will then perform at UPMC Nowlan Park in Kilkenny on Friday 4 and Saturday 5 June, followed by TUS Gaelic Grounds in Limerick on Friday 11 and Saturday 12 June.

The final two concerts will take place at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork on Friday 18 and Saturday 19 June.

Statements

Speaking about his Irish tour Brooks said: "This has been a dream of mine since the first time we played Ireland. Once you get a taste of how the Irish love music, you can't play there enough!"

In a post on X, Brooks said: "I've been dreaming of this a long time, Ireland... love, g."

Ticket sales and background

Tickets for all 10 concerts go on sale on Thursday 12 November at 8am.

Brooks last performed in Ireland in September 2022, when he played five sold-out concerts at Dublin's Croke Park, with more than 400,000 tickets sold. The country music superstar took to the stage on 9, 10, 11, 16 and 17 September, marking his first Irish concerts in 25 years, having previously performed at Croke Park in 1997.

The hugely anticipated shows came eight years after his planned five-night run at the Dublin stadium was cancelled in 2014. Dublin City Council had granted licences for just three of the five concerts, prompting Brooks to cancel the entire run.

Why it matters

The announcement marks Brooks's return to Ireland for a series of concerts across multiple cities, including Belfast, where he has not performed in decades.

The tour follows his previous performances at Croke Park in 2022 and the cancelled 2014 run, which led to changes in Irish concert licensing laws.
