Garth Brooks has announced he will embark on a 10 night tour around Ireland, including two nights in Nowlan Park in Kilkenny.
Peter Aiken from Aiken Promotions joined Geoff and Dymphna on The Big Breakfast Blaa ahead of ticket sales opening this Thursday, November 12th.
He reflected on his shock on realising that at short notice, an entire Irish tour had to be built and resourced, however he said this tour has been in the pipeline for the last decade or even longer.
Ticket sales for Garth Brooks during his last gig in Ireland proved the appetite, he said, for country music in Ireland.
He especially noted that typically for large gigs like that, the ticket demand is at 50% or more in the greater Dublin area. However for Garth Brooks, some 80% was from all areas of Ireland, outside of Dublin, proving his appeal.
