Brooks’ return fulfils 15-year-old promise

Country music star Garth Brooks has chosen Ireland to celebrate his comeback after being off the road for 13 years.

The superstar will return to Croke Park in Dublin in July for two performance before his worldwide tour kicks off in the autumn.

The singer, originally from Oklahoma in the US, promised during his last trip to Ireland 15 years ago to return when the redevelopment of the stadium was complete.
