Garth Brooks announces first ever California Mid State Fair appearance

Fans attending the California Mid State Fair in Paso Robles this July are in for a special treat. For the first time in history, Garth Brooks will perform a single show with Trisha Yearwood on Thursday, July 27th at the Main Grandstand Arena. Brooks made the special announcement Monday morning (June 19th) via Facebook using puns from three of his hit songs.

“California Mid State Fair, Garth Brooks here. July 27th, it’s a date. Ask me how I know, I know because I’m bringing the thunder and I’m bringing my friends. This is gonna be epic,” he says in the video.

Tickets go on sale Friday, June 23rd at 10 am PT via ticketmaster.com/garthbrooks or by calling 1-866-448-7849 or 1-800-745-3000. All tickets are $79.98 each.

He says more details will be discussed during his weekly Inside Studio G on Facebook Live series tonight.

The show is between his two weekend string of shows at the Forum in the Los Angeles suburb of Inglewood. Those shows, which were dubbed the final California and Nevada shows on the Garth Brooks World Tour with Trisha Yearwood, take place July 21st and 22nd and July 28th and 29th with tickets still available for the July 29th show. The tour and fair show are presented by Amazon Music Unlimited.

The fair show could be to “test the waters” to overseas dates in which Brooks says he’s found a way to bring the tour overseas in 2018 while keeping costs low for all involved. “Festivals,” he declared happily in a March press conference. “Festivals are a cool way to do it. It seems to be the cool way. Festivals will also be our future. We don’t know if we will ever get tour like this again. It’s special.”
