Garth Brooks has touched down at Dublin Airport ahead of his highly anticipated Croke Park gigs.
The Friends In Low Places singer will kick off his five nights at GAA headquarters this weekend and will perform on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, followed by two more on September 16 and 17.
A whopping 400,000 people are expected to travel to Croker for the gigs. All 32 counties are represented by ticketholders and at least 5% of attendees will be coming from outside Ireland.

And fans don't have much longer to wait before seeing their country music hero, as the 60-year-old officially arrived on Irish soil today. Dublin Airport posted a video online of Brooks' touching down on the runway and emerging from his jet.
They said this morning: "He's here! Garth Brooks has arrived on Irish soil (well, concrete actually) ahead of his 5 concerts in Dublin's Croke Park over the next two weekends. We're ready for The Dance."
Due to the large numbers of revellers, organisers are warning people to plan their journey to and from Croke Park, as there is only one car park close to the venue that holds 400 cars, and traffic restrictions will be in place near the venue. People aged under 14 will not be allowed on to the standing/pitch area, and bags must be less than an A4 size and will be searched on the way into the venue.
Attendees are also asked to double-check the date on their tickets and are reminded that the show starts at 7.30pm, with gates open from 5pm. Croke Park bosses said the cut-off point for Brooks to be off stage is 10.30pm but he will be ready to perform at 7.30pm, suggesting each show will last almost three hours each night.
