Garth Brooks Reveals 2027 Tour Stops Taped Inside A Backstage Road Trunk

Garth Brooks revealed his newly added 2027 tour stops by sharing a social media video of himself uncovering the five Irish cities taped inside the lid of a backstage road trunk.

The country music superstar posted the clip across his social media channels to announce the international expansion of his Blame It All On My Roots Tour.

In the video, Brooks is seen walking through a backstage loading area toward an equipment trunk.

"They're telling me there's something in this truck I wanna see. I'm excited," the singer says as he approaches the case.

He opened up the road trunk and rummaged through the gear inside.

Brooks then looked up and noticed a piece of paper taped directly to the bottom of the trunk's lid.

"Oh, maybe it's that," Brooks said while tapping on the paper.

The sheet revealed a printed list of five major tour stops across the island of Ireland.

"Ireland, we're coming to you this time," Brooks announced directly to the camera.

He also shared an Instagram Stories slide on Thursday morning to express his personal connection to the upcoming journey.

"I've been dreaming of this a long time, Ireland," Brooks wrote to his followers.

THE 2027 IRISH TOUR DATES

The freshly unveiled dates mark the first official 2027 stops on the Blame It All On My Roots Tour.

Brooks will stage a massive run of ten concerts across five different locations during May and June of 2027.

Each destination on the schedule will host two consecutive nights of performances.

The Irish tour officially kicks off in Northern Ireland at Boucher Road in Belfast.

Brooks will perform in Belfast on Friday, May 21, and Saturday, May 22, 2027.

The production then heads west to Galway for a pair of weekend shows at Pearse Stadium.

The Galway concerts will take place on Saturday, May 29, and Sunday, May 30, 2027.

Next on the itinerary is Kilkenny for the June Bank Holiday weekend at UPMC Nowlan Park.

Brooks will take the stage in Kilkenny on Friday, June 4, and Saturday, June 5, 2027.

The tour then rolls into Limerick for two nights at TUS Gaelic Grounds.

Those Limerick concerts are booked for Friday, June 11, and Saturday, June 12, 2027.

The Irish trek concludes in Cork with back-to-back shows at Supervalu Páirc Uí Chaoimh.

Fans in Cork can catch the country legend on Friday, June 18, and Saturday, June 19, 2027.

GAA GROUNDS TAKE CENTER STAGE

Four of the five selected tour stops will take place inside historic Gaelic Athletic Association stadiums.

Pearse Stadium, UPMC Nowlan Park, TUS Gaelic Grounds, and Páirc Uí Chaoimh will all open their gates to the tour.

The announcement comes after months of speculation and local hints across the country.

Promoter Peter Aiken of Aiken Promotions visited local radio station KCLR last June and promised a major project for Kilkenny in 2027.

Kilkenny GAA heightened anticipation with an online teaser released on Tuesday evening.

The official confirmation arrived at eight o'clock on Thursday morning to seal the venue agreement.

Brooks reflected warmly on his longstanding love affair with Irish concertgoers.

"This has been a dream of mine since the first time we played Ireland," Brooks explained.

"Once you get a taste of how the Irish love music, you can't play there enough!" he added.

TICKET SALES AND PRICING

Tickets for all ten Irish concerts will go on sale at 8:00 AM on Thursday, November 12, via Ticketmaster.

Fans will have roughly one week to prepare before the booking window opens.

There has been no presale announced for this run of shows.

Industry listings show no presale options on Ticketmaster, meaning all fans will enter the general sale simultaneously.

Pricing details for the 2027 dates have not yet been released.

Brooks has stated on his website that he does not believe personal finances should dictate concert seating.

The singer has maintained a philosophy where every seat on the Blame It All On My Roots Tour carries the same price tag.

Fans are eager to see if Brooks maintains strict pricing controls or if dynamic pricing models take effect.

During his 2022 run at Croke Park in Dublin, standing tickets cost around 65 euros.

Seated tickets for those 2022 Dublin stadium shows cost just over 80 euros.

HISTORIC VENUES AND LOCAL IMPACT

Brooks last performed in Ireland during September 2022 when he sold out five consecutive nights at Dublin's Croke Park.

This 2027 itinerary broadens his reach far beyond Dublin by visiting regional centers across the country.

Local civic leaders and hospitality operators expect a major economic boost from the incoming crowds.

Colin Ahern, general manager of the Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel, confirmed that such large-scale events provide substantial business for the locality.

Kilkenny Mayor Andrew McGuinness also welcomed the announcement of the stadium concerts.

UPMC Nowlan Park has a storied tradition of hosting premier international touring artists over the past two decades.

The venue hosted Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, and Glen Hansard in July 2001.

Paul Simon and Van Morrison headlined the Kilkenny pitch in July 2002.
