He’s allllllright, folks! Garth Brooks announces (at least) TEN consecutive shows in Chicago

For any of you concerned that the whole Croke Park debacle had left Garth Brooks destitute and drinking moonshine with the hobos, rest easy.

For any of you concerned that the whole Croke Park debacle had left Garth Brooks destitute and drinking moonshine with the hobos, rest easy.

The country singer has announced a massive ten shows in Chicago, double the number of shows he would have played in Dublin before Owen Keegan decided to play the role of party pooper extraordinaire.

Brooks had previously announced a single show in Chicago but that quickly grew to four early on Saturday morning.

At the time of writing, ten shows had been announced on the Ticketmaster site and there were no signs of stopping.

All the concerts – the first of his world tour – are taking place at the Allstate Arena in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont…

…and we presume he has a licence.
