American country music star Garth Brooks has added an extra Belfast date to his 2027 tour after his two original shows in the city sold out.

The new date, an outdoor concert at Boucher Playing Fields, will take place on 23 May.

Brooks will also play two gigs at the same location on 21 and 22 May 2027. The gigs will be the first time he has performed in Belfast since 1998.

Brooks' last gigs in the city were a five-night run at the King's Hall in November 1998, after which he said the reaction from fans left his ears "ringing for three days".

Next year's concerts in Belfast will be the first of 11 on the island of Ireland, with two shows each in Galway, Kilkenny, Limerick and Cork.

Brooks announced the extra Belfast date in a social media post on Thursday.

Some of the Oklahoma singer's biggest hits include Friends in Low Places, If Tomorrow Never Comes and Callin' Baton Rouge.

Brooks is the biggest selling artist in US history as the only artist to pass 200 million albums sold.

Brooks last performed in Ireland in September 2022.

More than 400,000 tickets were sold for five concerts at Dublin's Croke Park.
