In the days surrounding March 17, Music City will celebrate St. Patrick’s Day with culture-rich events, including Music City Irish Fest, combining plenty of music, dancing, food, and fun. Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky-Tonk will host some of them.

While Nashville eagerly awaits the chance to celebrate the Luck of the Irish every year, a recent trip to Ireland revealed the Irish don’t wait for holidays to celebrate country music.

Some artists make resolutions. Garth Brooks makes moves.

"I'm an artist, I HAVE to make music," Garth said. "And I'm an entertainer, so I HAVE to take the music to the people."

The year is already coming into focus with two major shows announced at Milwaukee’s American Family Insurance Amphitheater, bringing Garth back to Summerfest on June 16 and 17, 2026. It’s a long-awaited return to Milwaukee — and a clear signal that the road is calling again.

Nearly 100,000 fans sped to the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas Saturday to catch Brooks' only concert of 2025. Bobby Epstein, chairman of Circuit of The Americas, predicted the show would be a "legendary evening" and that the 90,000-fan singalong would be sublime.

And it was.

"They were ready at the start and never waned," Brooks said. "They had spent all day in over 90-degree heat and still had the strength to wear my ass out! It's ALWAYS epic to play Texas!”

Garth Brooks will shift into high gear this weekend when he revs up to headline the 2025 Formula 1 United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas.

“Garth Brooks is such an incredible entertainer, and the sounds of him and a hillside lawn of 90,000 fans singing along will make for a legendary evening,” said Bobby Epstein, chairman of Circuit of The Americas.
