Country music superstar Garth Brooks announced a ten-date tour across Ireland and Northern Ireland for May and June 2027.
The upcoming run marks the first time Brooks will perform in Belfast since 1998, when a five-night run at the King’s Hall left the singer stating his ears were “ringing for three days”.
Promoted by Aiken Promotions, the country legend has spent the current year traveling on his Blame It All On My Roots arena tour, a production featuring cutting-edge staging elements such as the Drum Pod—a plexiglass and aluminum structure enclosing his drummer that serves as a callback to his late-’90s tour.
Widely recognized as the biggest selling artist in U.S. history, Brooks has sold more than 200 million albums and won ten RIAA Diamond Awards for albums certified at over 10 million. His enduring catalog includes chart-topping favorites like “Friends in Low Places,” “The Dance,” “The Thunder Rolls,” and “If Tomorrow Never Comes,” which have resonated across multiple generations of Irish listeners.
Irish Tour Visits Five Cities Across Ten Dates
Presented by Aiken Promotions, the 2027 itinerary spans five cities on the island of Ireland, featuring two performances at each location.
The routing begins at the Boucher Road Playing Fields in Belfast with shows on May 21 and 22, 2027. Following high demand, promoters added an extra Belfast date for 23 May.
The tour then moves to the Republic of Ireland, visiting Galway’s Pearse Stadium on May 29 and 30, Kilkenny’s UPMC Nowlan Park on June 4 and 5, Limerick’s TUS Gaelic Grounds on June 11 and 12, and Cork’s SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh on June 18 and 19 before concluding the main schedule.
Ticket Prices Vary by Location and Resale Laws Apply
Tickets for the Irish dates went on sale at 8 a.m. local time, priced higher than those for the singer's last Irish performances in 2022.
General standing and pit tickets for Galway, Kilkenny, Limerick, and Cork cost €136.25, while seated tickets are priced at €156.25. Belfast tickets are priced at €137.85.
The Republic of Ireland has legislation that prohibits ticket resale above face value for designated events.
Fulfillment of Past Promises After 2014 Cancellation
The 2027 dates fulfill a promise Brooks made to fans to see them throughout the country.
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!
Garth Brooks
The country star experienced a tumultuous history with local licensing authorities after five planned 2014 concerts in Dublin were cancelled due to a licensing dispute. That dispute was described by the artist as feeling “like a death in the family”.
Relations recovered when approval was secured for 400,000 ticket sales across five nights at Croke Park in 2022, paving the way for the broad national routing planned for 2027.
