Stetsons at the ready, folks!

Could Garth Brooks be coming to Ireland next week?

Yes, you read that right, Garth Brook maybe flying back into Ireland for the first time since the Croke Park concerts fiasco - but don’t worry it’s not what you think.

The country music superstar is expected to touch down on our shores to see a theatre show based on the summer 2014 debacle entitled, Are you there, Garth?’, It’s me Margaret.

The show - which is running in the Gaiety Theatre, Dublin until October 25 - stars Deirdre O’Kane as Margaret, a struggling housewife and Garth superfan whose life is turned upside-down by the cancelled gigs.

Speaking to The Mirror, creator Darren Smith has said, “He knows about the show and we have been told he’s very interested and wants to come and see it.

"I wouldn’t be stunned at all if we had a special visitor in a Stetson next week.

“Aside from the genuine interest he has, it would be a great PR move by him after what happened.

"It would warm the hearts and minds of Irish people to see Garth in the audience.”

Garth is currently on break from his tour in the US and his regular driver in Ireland has been put on standby for next Tuesday or Thursday.
