CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Garth Brooks has added a second Charlotte concert to his 2022 stadium tour due to overwhelming demand for tickets to his July show at Bank of America Stadium.
A press release announced Brooks will perform on Friday, July 15 at 7 p.m. He was originally scheduled to only perform on Saturday, July 16. These will be Brooks' first tour stops in Charlotte in 24 years.
"We learned from socials that people who had great seats for the shows before COVID-19 did not get great seats for the make-up shows. So we decided for the makeup show in Charlotte, we wouldn't even open up the top deck and just do two shows in the lower bowl if the demand was there," Garth Brooks said. "Now any ticket in Charlotte is guaranteed a great seat."
Tickets can be purchased three ways: Ticketmaster's website, the Ticketmaster app and by calling the Garth Brooks Line for Ticketmaster at 1-877-654-2784. All seats are priced at $94.95, all-inclusive and guests are limited to eight tickets per purchase.
Over 70,000 fans purchased tickets for the anticipated 2020 performance. Brooks will perform all of his iconic hits, including "The Dance," "Friends In Low Places," and "Callin' Baton Rouge."
While Garth is on a stadium tour this year, he said one day he hopes to do a dive bar tour across the country.
One of the most important stops? Charlotte's legendary, and we mean legendary, Thirsty Beaver Saloon. The Plaza Midwood honky tonk went viral last year when Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger posed for a photo while somehow blending in with the crowd.
"First of all, I just need a t-shirt that says The Thirsty Beaver on it, that's awesome," Brooks said on Wake Up Charlotte To go. "Yes, count me in!"
