Garth Brooks Extends Las Vegas Residency Through 2024

Garth Brooks, in partnership with Caesars Entertainment and Live Nation, has announced that his new Garth Brooks/Plus ONE Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace will be extended through 2024 due to the overwhelming demand for tickets to his first 27 shows.

The new shows will be announced in May 2023 around the opening of the residency.

"You're scared to death, you know, when they tell you that they're going to put on a whole year of shows. And then, the first day of on-sale, they call you and tell you that the whole year is gone. That's an amazing feeling, as you can imagine," Brooks said.

He added, "And all of a sudden it hits you - 'They want to extend this!' Well, the only thing better than one year at Caesars Palace in Vegas would be two years, right?!! So I'm there."

Fans who signed up for the Verified Fan Presale who were unable to purchase tickets for the 2023 dates will be given priority access to purchase tickets to the 2024 dates. To sign up for all Garth Brooks/Plus ONE residency announcements, including information on the new dates, fans can visit www.Ticketmaster.com/GarthVegas.

While visiting the website, individuals can also preorder the Garth Brooks LIVE LIVE Boxed Set, which includes a commemorative book and 5 discs with over 50 of Brooks' most celebrated live performances. Preorders for the brand-new boxed set will arrive before the holidays.
