Garth Brooks, one of the hottest acts in country music, makes his return to Baton Rouge next year for the first time in 24 years. Paul Arrigo, CEO and President of Visit Baton Rouge, says the superstar is set to play Tiger Stadium on April 30th and expects a spectacular turnout that’ll put a spotlight on the city. “This type of artist coming to Baton Rouge…in Tiger Stadium, the brand of Baton Rouge and Tiger Stadium will certainly be stamped all over the world,” said Arrigo.
Tickets for “Callin’ Baton Rouge” starring Brooks will go on sale through Ticketmaster on Friday, December 10 at 10 a.m. for an all-inclusive price of 94.95 each with a purchase limit of eight tickets.
Arrigo says the concert by Garth Brooks will be great all around. He says, “it’s great for LSU, it’s great for the hospitality industry and it’s great for the region.”
Brooks LSU appearance will mark his only concert in the Louisiana/Mississippi area in 2022. Arrigo is hoping for an all-seats-filled Death Valley for Garth’s “Callin’ Baton Rouge” concert. “If we want this kind of activity and these types of events in Baton Rouge we’re going to have to support these types of events in Baton Rouge and I think we need to have all those seats filled,” said Arrigo
He notes that the Garth Brooks concert at Tiger Stadium coincides with the first weekend of Jazzfest in New Orleans and hopes that’ll draw even more fans to Tiger Stadium to hear the country superstar.
