The 51-year-old Oklahoma crooner flew in by private jet to announce the concerts at a press conference at Croke Park this afternoon. He sold out two concerts at the venue in 1997 and the two July dates are being styled the Garth Brooks Comeback Special Event. Tickets priced €65.45 go on sale Thursday, January 30 at 9am. Speaking at the 82,300 seater stadium today (January 20), Brooks said: Before we go back on tour in the Fall of 2014, I want to challenge myself, the band, and crew. In 97, we were lucky enough to play Croke Park, the stadium was under construction. 130,000+ of some of the greatest fans in the world. I was quoted then as saying When this stadium is finished, I would love to come back and try to fill it again . . . this time to the brink. . . . and were back to do just that.” Brooks, who described his last gig in Dublin as a magical experience, added that he will be looking for an invite to Bonos house for tea.
