Garth Brooks Croke Park concerts 2022 news as singer gives stage and weather update

Garth Brooks has given fans an update ahead of his five Croke Park concerts.

Initially set as two nights in the Dublin venue on September 9 and 10, huge demand saw a third added for September 11, followed by two more on September 16 and 17.

The sold-out gigs will see more than 400,000 fans descend on Drumcondra to watch the country music superstar perform across the five nights.

Croke Park will be the only European venue headlined by the 'Friends in Low Places' singer in 2022.

And with over a week to go until he first takes to the stage, the hitmaker has revealed details about the much anticipated gigs.

In a live stream on his Facebook page overnight, he spoke about the “monstrous” stage that has been set up “solely for the Irish shows”.

“The stage is going to be long ways, going out into the crowd. They have to elevate the stage so people at the back can see. This is going to be elevated quite a lot.

“We do confetti off the rig as well, it lowers up and down. This thing is monstrous and it’s set in stone.

“Anyone who has seen a Garth show will not have seen this set-up,” he promised.

The No 1 selling solo artist in US history also gave an update on what weather he expects.

He said: “The weather is supposed to be good and cool, so hopefully we won't have anybody passing out there. Hopefully it'll be a fun party for everybody.”

It comes just days after Aiken Promotions confirmed there will be no support act any of the nights.

Gates will open at 5pm and the show is due to start at 7.30pm.

Further updates are due to be issued in advance of the gigs.
