Garth Brooks Unveils 10 Irish Tour Dates for 2027, Fulfilling a Long-Held Personal Dream

Garth Brooks officially unveiled a 10-concert Irish tour for May and June 2027, explaining that returning to play for Irish audiences has been a long-held personal dream.

Brooks announced the dates on Thursday morning, November 5, 2026, via an Instagram Stories slide and a video posted to social media.

In the video, he walks through a backstage loading area toward a trunk.

“They’re telling me there’s something in this truck I wanna see. I’m excited,” the singer says.

He opens the trunk, rummages inside, and then looks up at a piece of paper taped to the bottom of the lid.

“Oh, maybe it’s that,” Brooks continues, tapping the paper.

On it is a list of five Irish cities where Brooks will perform two shows each.

“Ireland, we’re coming to you this time,” Brooks reveals.

The tour covers Belfast, Galway, Kilkenny, Limerick, and Cork.

Each city will host two consecutive nights in May and June 2027.

Belfast plays Boucher Road on Friday, May 21, and Saturday, May 22.

Galway plays Pearse Stadium on Saturday, May 29, and Sunday, May 30.

Kilkenny plays UPMC Nowlan Park on Friday, June 4, and Saturday, June 5.

Limerick plays TUS Gaelic Grounds on Friday, June 11, and Saturday, June 12.

Cork plays Supervalu Páirc Uí Chaoimh on Friday, June 18, and Saturday, June 19.

Brooks’ last performances in Ireland were five sold-out nights at Croke Park in September 2022.

“This has been a dream of mine since the first time we played Ireland,” Brooks said in his announcement.

“Once you get a taste of how the Irish love music, you can’t play there enough!”

The new dates are part of his ongoing Blame It All On My Roots Tour.

That tour began in the United States and has already extended into 2026 and now 2027.

Earlier this year, Brooks added multiple stops in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada for December 2026.

When he announced those Canadian shows, he called Hamilton “the first stop as we bring the Blame It All On My Roots Tour north,” hinting that more international dates could follow.

Before he leaves the U.S., Brooks has two more domestic runs to complete.

He will play Kansas City, Missouri, the weekend of November 7-8, 2026.

Then he heads to Seattle for four shows later in November.

The Irish tour marks a significant expansion of the tour’s international reach.

Tickets for all 10 Irish dates go on sale Thursday, November 12, 2026, at 8 AM local time.

Ticket sales will be handled through Ticketmaster.

No presale has been announced for this run of shows.

Pricing and other details have not yet been made available.

Brooks has a well-known philosophy about concert ticket pricing.

According to his website, he believes “every seat” on his Blame It All On My Roots Tour should be priced the same.

“I don’t believe how much money you have should determine where you sit for a concert,” he has stated.

During his 2022 Croke Park shows, standing tickets were around €65, while seated tickets were just over €80.

It remains unclear whether Ticketmaster’s dynamic pricing model will apply to the Irish dates.

The venues chosen for the tour are all GAA (Gaelic Athletic Association) grounds, except for Boucher Road in Belfast.

Pearse Stadium in Galway is a GAA stadium with a capacity of about 26,000.

UPMC Nowlan Park in Kilkenny is the home of Kilkenny GAA and has hosted major concerts for decades.

Past performers at Nowlan Park include Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Shania Twain, Rod Stewart, Dolly Parton, Bruce Springsteen, and Neil Young.

TUS Gaelic Grounds in Limerick is a GAA stadium with a capacity of around 45,000.

Supervalu Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork is a GAA stadium that holds approximately 45,000.

Boucher Road in Belfast is a large outdoor concert site that has hosted major events.

Peter Aiken of Aiken Promotions, who is organizing the Irish leg, had hinted at the Kilkenny show back in June 2026.

While at KCLR radio, he promised he was working on “something big” for the locality in 2027.

Kilkenny GAA posted an online teaser on Tuesday evening, November 3, 2026, building anticipation.

The confirmation came at 8 AM on Thursday, November 5.

Local officials have already welcomed the announcement.

Kilkenny Mayor Andrew McGuinness issued a statement expressing his reaction.

Colin Ahern, General Manager of the Kilkenny Ormonde Hotel, noted that such concerts bring a significant boost to the local economy.

The tour’s focus on smaller Irish cities rather than just Dublin has drawn attention.

Brooks played Dublin’s Croke Park in 2022, but the 2027 tour spreads across the island.

The schedule includes shows in both the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Belfast, in Northern Ireland, is the only UK destination on the list.

Brooks’ connection to Ireland runs deep in his career.

His 2013 album “Blame It All On My Roots” drew from country and bluegrass influences that resonate with Irish audiences.

The album reached number one on the Billboard 200.
