The music legend played five gigs at Dublin’s Croke Park in 2022

Take this quiz for a chance to win tickets to Garth Brooks

The country star has announced a European exclusive performance in London – and we have a pair of tickets to give away.

COUNTRY MUSIC STAR Garth Brooks will play his first UK show since 1998 next summer.

Brooks, one of the biggest selling artists of all time, has announced a European exclusive show at London’s BST Hyde Park. He will headline the festival on 27 June 2026, with a supporting line-up to be revealed.

The singer, of course, played a string of shows at Dublin’s Croke Park back in September 2022.

If you fancy heading to that Hyde Park gig, you’re in luck. We have a pair of Gold Circle tickets to give away – each one provides access to an exclusive area offering a private bar, additional seating and separate toilet facilities.

(You’ll have to arrange your own travel to London and put yourself up).

To enter, simply take the quiz, copy and paste your result into an email and send it to competitions@thejournal.ie with the subject line ‘Garth Brooks’.

The quiz will close at midnight, 9 October and winners will be chosen on Friday, 10 October.
