Due to overwhelming enthusiasm from fans, Garth Brooks will be staying in Edmonton a little longer.
Tickets for the country music artist's tour stop in Edmonton went on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday (May 6) and within 45 minutes, the 61,000-seat show at Commonwealth Stadium was sold out.
“Talked to Ticketmaster and they said a lot of you never got in to even look for tickets… and tens of thousands of you were still in the waiting room when it sold out,” Brooks said on Twitter.
He said he was going to look to see what other options were available and a second show has been added.
Tickets for the new date will go on sale on Thursday at 10 a.m. through Ticketmaster. The new show will be on June 24 at 7 p.m. and the original show is on June 25.
Edmonton is Brooks’ only Canadian stop on his Stadium Tour.
