Garth Brooks' Phoenix concert: Everything you need to know

Country legend Garth Brooks will take the stage at State Farm Stadium in Glendale on Saturday, March 23 at 7 p.m.

PHOENIX — Garth Brooks fans in the Valley, grab all your friends, even the ones in low places, because the country legend is performing a sold-out concert at State Farm Stadium this Saturday. 

Brooks announced his Phoenix-area concert in November and it quickly sold out. Fans who missed the first round of tickets are still in luck, however, because even more tickets went on sale Monday. Some are available through Ticketmaster and are (pricey and) expected to sell out.
