Garth Brooks

Garth Brooks is simply a music legend, he is the artist who put country music on the map and kick started the global popularity it enjoys today. His second album, 1991’s No Fences was the first country album to go multi-platinum with the follow up, Ropin’ The Wind’, the first country album to top the US pop charts. His blend of country with pop and classic rock has earned him worldwide popularity. His songs are part of the American songbook, including classics like ‘If Tomorrow Never Comes’, ‘The Dance’, ‘Friends In Low Places’ and ‘The River’. He remains the best selling solo artist in U.S. history, certified by the RIAA with 162 million album sales, he has 20 Billboard #1 singles to his credit and he was the first artist to garner top 5 singles at country radio across five consecutive decades - the 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s and 20s.

Brooks’ live shows transformed country music, powering it into rock-style arena territory with pyrotechnics, huge production, and record-breaking crowds. In 1997, his legendary Central Park show drew an estimated over 1 million fans. His stadium tours have redefined what a country tour can be, most recently the three-and-a-half-year Stadium Tour that concluded in 2022 with five sold-out nights at Dublin’s Croke Park, attended by over 400,000 people.
