Dublin had five nights in 2022. Next summer, five other cities are getting two each.
GLITCH&GOLD MAGAZINE | THE BUZZ
Garth Brooks has announced ten Irish concerts for 2027, taking his return beyond the capital to Belfast, Galway, Kilkenny, Limerick and Cork. Revealed on November 5, the tour runs from May 21 through June 19, with two shows in every city.
For fans outside Dublin, that changes the practical question. This time, it is less about getting to Croke Park and more about choosing which weekend to keep free.
A PROMISE WITH A ROUTE MAP
Brooks says the plan goes back to a promise he made onstage in Dublin: if he toured again, he would bring the show to people elsewhere around the country.
His official announcement explains that these cities have not previously had their own standalone Brooks concerts, while Belfast has been waiting decades for his return.
That gives the itinerary a purpose beyond simply adding more dates. Rather than building another extended stay in one city, Brooks is spreading the shows across five stops over roughly a month.
His last Irish appearances were the five Croke Park concerts in 2022. This new run doubles the number of shows, though that should not be confused with doubling the audience. No attendance figures for 2027 have been announced.
FIVE CITIES, TEN NIGHTS
The tour opens at Boucher Road Playing Fields in Belfast on May 21 and 22, before heading to Pearse Stadium in Galway on May 29 and 30.
Kilkenny follows with June 4 and 5 at UPMC Nowlan Park. Limerick gets June 11 and 12 at TUS Gaelic Grounds, then Cork closes the run at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh on June 18 and 19.
TICKETS: THE DATE TO KNOW
Tickets go on general sale through Ticketmaster on November 12, 2026, at 8 a.m. GMT. Ticketmaster says there is no presale, so the same start time applies to everyone.
For now, the announcement is about a different way of returning. Dublin hosted the last chapter. In 2027, Brooks is taking the next one on the road.
