Garth Brooks’ headline performance at BST Hyde Park – where he played to more than 70-thousand people, making the concert the biggest show ever at the venue that’s hosted the likes of The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen and The Eagles – may have been one for the history books, but it’s not lost on him that he wasn’t alone in smashing records that day in London, England. “Those souls in Hyde Park were there all day out in the unusually high temperatures, and yet they all seemed so happy and ready to go when we took the stage,” Garth shares. “I know that didn't happen by itself.”

For fans in the record-breaking crowd that flooded BST Hyde Park to see Garth Brooks’ first U.K. concert in almost 30 years, the wait was more than worth it.  

Here’s what they had to say.

Kerrie Greenaway posted:  “What a night. !!! Stood right there, feet hurting, voice fading, heart full, and amazing memories made. The night was one of the best. Garth Brooks connection with the crowd, his amazement hearing the crowd sing his songs back to him, the goosebumps I had, so much to praise. Absolute Gem of a performance. Thank you GB, but please don't leave it another 30 years.  

The excitement leading up to Garth Brooks’ headlining concert at BST Hyde Park was palpable.  He hadn’t performed in the U.K. in almost three decades, and the show had been sold out for weeks.

A brilliant double rainbow that appeared over the stage just minutes before showtime seemed to be nature’s way of marking the landmark occasion.

Garth Brooks can’t wait to take country music “across the pond” as he headlines a sold-out show at BST Hyde Park in London on June 27.  The concert marks his first U.K. performance in almost three decades.

"I've played for European audiences before, and it always surprises me how well they KNOW their country music,” he says.
