The American country music artist Garth Brooks is scheduled to perform in Belfast for the first time since 1998.

Two live events are confirmed for May 2027 at Boucher Road Playing Fields on the outskirts of the city.

These performances will mark the beginning of a ten-date tour across the island of Ireland.

The itinerary includes two shows each in Galway, Kilkenny, Limerick and Cork alongside the Belfast dates.

A similar five-night engagement at Croke Park in Dublin was cancelled in 2014 following licensing decisions by Dublin City Council.

More than 400,000 tickets were sold for that previous event before it was called off.

All tickets for the upcoming ten concerts will be available for purchase from 12 November at 08:00 GMT.

The Belfast venue is situated near Limerick and Cork on the route of the wider tour.

No further details regarding ticket pricing or specific setlists have been released at this stage.
