Tomorrow - the 7th of the 7th - will be an announcement from GB.....
I read a comment on Facebook and I know it likely has no substance or nothing to back it up but that person said that GB said earlier this year he will be touring in the second half of this year. So tomorrow's announcement will likely be an announcement to go back touring.
How can he move on to a new tour and a new project without finalising the Croke park stuff he was talking about for a long time after the 2022 Dublin gigs? He was the one who spoke for years afterwards that he is producing something and he has seen the footage and it makes him emotional and then he gave a vague release for the autumn and that was in 2024 but then nothing. You would then he would just finalise that part but saying there was a change in plans and it's not going ahead or if it is going ahead giving something substantial with a confirmed release date.
Alan Jackson played his final concert last week and there's stuff in the pipeline for a release this winter. As for Garth Brooks, it doesn't take 4 years to release a concert movie or whatever he was planning on doing. It really is contempt for his Irish fans, to build anticiaption that there would be something about the Croke park gigs just for nothing to ever happen. It's not hard to come out and give a statement that he was planning on doing something with the footage but it didn't work out. Just to close that chapter. That's all.
It's unfortunate, I like his music especially from the 90s but he's an arrogant person and just horrible. I know his die hard fans would likely attack me about that because they can't see him do any wrong.
Edit to add: you don't see any other musician building anticipation for nothing. That swhat he did for years after the Croke park concerts, building anticipation that there was something in the pipeline.
