Thu, Nov 05, 2026
Galway GAA is this morning (Thursday) expected to reveal that US country legend Garth Brooks will tog out in Pearse Stadium next summer, playing at least two gigs in the Salthill venue.
Speculation has been intense over the past few days since Galway GAA social media carried teasers for an imminent announcement about a mega-star to play the iconic stadium at the start of summer.
The country star is the top-selling, solo artist in US music history, and last time he was booked to play five nights in Croke Park, four years ago, he sold 400,000 tickets.
