Oklahoma native Garth Brooks announces end to Vegas residency
Country music titan and Oklahoma native Garth Brooks announces the final shows of his sold-out Garth Brooks/Plus One Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at the Caesars Palace, and he's legitimately going to miss it.
His spirited shows, packed with barnburners (“Callin' Baton Rouge,” “Papa Loved Mama”), tearjerkers (“Unanswered Prayers,” “The Dance”), covers of Billy Joel, George Strait, Wynonna Judd and Bob Seger and frequent appearances from fellow superstar wife Trisha Yearwood, will end in March.
Brooks' last batch of dates are Feb. 21-23 and 28 and March 1-2 and 7-9.
“If there was a guy who said I’ll do this the rest of my life, it would be me,” Brooks told USA TODAY.
Tickets for the final shows go on sale at 1 p.m. EDT on Sept. 19 and can be bought here.
Citi cardmembers will have access to a presale starting at 1 p.m. on Sept. 16. Those who have previously purchased tickets to Brooks’ residency will be able to buy tickets at 1 p.m. EDT on Sept. 17, while Caesars Rewards members and Live Nation customers are granted access at 1 p.m. EDT Sept. 18.
Brooks, 62, also recently announced an end to Inside Studio G, the weekly online series he’s hosted since 2016 as a direct fan interaction, later this year.
“It’s time to figure out what’s next,” Brooks says. “We just launched the Garth Channel (on digital platform TuneIn) again, so we’re gonna funnel our stuff there.”
When asked what he'll do performing-wise after the residency ends, Brooks responded that he'll be the "plus one" for wife Trisha Yearwood.
"My wife is sweet enough to be there for me every time I need her," he told USA Today. "I need to return that and we need to hear her more than two songs a night. I told her I’d front her. I’ll stay backstage and do whatever she needs."
