Garth Brooks rumoured for Croke Park dates in 2022

Country music phenomenon rumoured for an Irish return after leaving Irish friends in low places in 2014

Country star Garth Brooks performs on stage during the 2020 Gershwin Prize Honoree's Tribute Concert at the DAR Constitution Hall in Washington. But will he finally tread the boards at Croker?

It was the country-rock jamboree that nearly devolved into an international incident, over dashed demands for an extended run of dates. It was a time of excitement, uproar and outrage among over 400,000 disappointed event-goers in the summer 2014 - and now, it looks like Irish society at large is headed for The Dance again. 

Rumours have broken via Virgin Media News this evening that superstar Garth Brooks is set to attempt another run of Croke Park gigs next year, with the GAA and Aiken Promotions declining to answer inquiries from the station's Dublin newsdesk.
