Instead of just one show to raise money for Nashville flood relief, Oklahoma music megastar Garth Brooks will be playing nine.
The Owasso resident, who will perform along with his wife and fellow country music star Trisha Yearwood, sold out nine shows at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena when tickets became available Saturday, according to CMT.com. Tickets initially went on sale for the one concert he had previously announced for Dec. 17. Two more shows were quickly added, then more shows were booked as demand for tickets kept rolling.
With tickets priced at $25, a spokesperson for Brooks told CMT that more than 140,000 tickets were sold and that the concert series will raise more than $3.5 million.
The series benefits the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee, which is continuing to help people whose homes and lives were drastically altered by floods that hit the Nashville area in May.
The shows mark his first full-band concerts in Nashville since 1998, according to CMT.com.
Brooks retired from touring more than a decade ago, but he has been doing solo acoustic performances in Las Vegas since late last year.
The Nashville shows will take place Dec. 16-17 and 19-22, with two shows scheduled each night on Dec. 16, 21 and 22.
