The Irish council has ruled to not allow the licenses for all five of Garth Brooks comeback shows, which were to take place July 25-29 at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland, according to the singer. In a statement released Monday (July 14), Brooks says refunds will be handled by Ticketmaster. Ticketmaster’s Ireland website has set refunds to begin Thursday, July 17. “I want to thank the Irish authorities for going the distance for all of us who wanted to share songs and dance together. Some Brooks fans may still find today to be one of joy, as Atlanta fan Andy Roberts just confirmed that Brooks will launch his world tour in Chicago.
