LIVE: Garth Brooks ticket details from prices to Ticketmaster queue and possible extra dates

Be warned that unlike Oasis shows in Ireland in recent years, there is no email or presale code or special way of access so everyone has a fair chance at grabbing a ticket.

Although not confirmed, there has been whispers that the week long gaps in between the different venues could mean wiggle room for extra dates being added if the demand is there so be ready to pounce if and when the shows sell out.

Dates are as follows:

• Boucher Road, Belfast: 21 and 22 May
• Pearse Stadium, Galway: 29 and 30 May
• UPMC Nowlan Park, Kilkenny: 4 and 5 June
• TUS Gaelic Grounds, Limerick: 11 and 12 June
• SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh, Cork: 18 and 19 June

Seated tickets are reportedly set to be in and around the €150 mark while standing tickets will be priced roughly around €130 a ticket - a big jump compared to €65 general standing tickets and €81 seated tickets for his Croke Park run which was held at those prices as a result of the cancelled 2014 tour.

Hopefully only crowds of giddy concert goers and no thunder will roll into Pearse Stadium next May as Garth Brooks promises Galway people they will never forget That Summer of 2027

After doing The Dance with the GAA, the US music star’s previously Unanswered Prayers of playing one of Ireland’s biggest music tours was finally given the go ahead with ten shows in total across Galway, Limerick, Cork, Kilkenny and Belfast confirmed.

Brooks sold out multiple shows at Croke Park in 2022 playing to 400,000 fans after previously cancelling concerts at the venue in 2014 and although no confirmation has been given as of yet, ticket prices are set to be double than they were four years ago.

Promoter Peter Aiken has said there will be no extra charge for the ‘pit area’ closest to the stage with Brooks commenting after the announcement: “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”.

It is not the first time Pearse Stadium has hosted a music concert, with Ed Sheeran playing back-to-back sell out nights on the pitch in May 2018.

Black Eyed Peas played in 2022 and people of a certain age will remember the wonderful washout Westlife concert in 2008.

James Gavin of event management company Grooveyard managed to persuade the Black Eyed Peas – the US group behind ‘I Gotta Feeling’, which spent twelve weeks at Number 1 in Ireland – to play their only Irish gig after eleven years in Pearse Stadium.

Back in 2019, County Galway GAA Treasurer at the time Michael Burke said after the Ed Sheeran gig that there would be no concert in Pearse “unless there is a good payday for the GAA”.

In all, Galway GAA received a modest €119,085 return from the two Ed Sheeran concerts in May – although a portion of this included the installation of a new CCTV system, which was understood to be a requirement for the Ed Sheeran gigs.

By contrast, Cork County Board reportedly received in the region of €1 million from the Sheeran concerts in Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

American country superstar Zach Bryan played Páirc Uí Chaoimh last summer while Bruce Springsteen entertained Nowlan Park in 2024 also.
