Garth Brooks is heading to the land of Disney as he announced that he is bringing his Stadium Tour to Central Florida’s Camping World Stadium in Orlando Saturday, March 26, 2022.

Garth said noting he’ll be staging as many shows as possible before wrapping the trek with five sold-out concerts in Ireland. He said during his Studio G session on Facebook on Monday (12/6) “2022 will be the last year of the Stadium Tour. And we will end up with the biggest show to end the stadium tour. It’s the last year.”

We reached out to Garth’s people to clarify what he meant by “it’s the last year.” We were told that Brooks doesn’t plan on doing stadiums again after 2022. However, we were told that he is not retiring and will continue to have concerts for fans in the coming years.

It’s also worth mentioning that major artists often make similar annoucements, but those announcements are not legally binding.

The event – his first performance at the longtime home of the Citrus Bowl and his first concert in the city in five years – will be his only such appearance in the state of Florida.

Tickets for the concert go on sale Friday, December 17 (via Ticketmaster). The newly-announced show is now his earliest of 2022, falling about a month ahead of previously announced events in Arkansas (Razorback Stadium in Fayetteville April 23) and Louisiana (Tiger Stadium at LSU in Baton Rouge April 30).

13 of Garth Brooks’ Most Magical Christmas Songs

• 13. “The Old Man’s Back In Town” (1992)

  Share

  This song was co-written by Garth and makes our list at number 13.

• 12. “O Little Town Of Bethlehem” (1999)

  Share

  We just adore Garth’s version of this classic song. He really makes it his own.

• 11. “The Gift” (1992)

  Share

  An original song by Nashville songwriter Stephanie Davis. The melody and the story are so tender and just right for the holiday.
• 10. “(There’s No Place Like) Home for the Holidays” (1999)

  Share

  We love the pace of this version and his solid vocal start.

• 9. “Let It, Snow! Let It, Snow! Let It Snow!” (1992)

  Share

  Brooks’ version is delightful complete with a choir of background singers just makes me smile.

• 8. “Call Me Claus” (Garth Brooks, Lisa Sanderson, Jenny Yates) (2001)

  Share

  This is another original song co-written by Garth, and it is quite rocking. Two minutes and eight seconds of pure Santa joy.
• 7. “‘Zat You, Santa Claus?” (Jack Fox) (2001)

  Share

  The song was first recorded by jazz legend Louis Armstrong in 1953. At first, Garth’s version sounds a bit weird, but try listening to it a few times, you won’t get it out of your mind. Brooks’ gritty performance of the song is right on target.

• 6. “Go Tell It on the Mountain” (1992)

  Share

  A holiday classic that is over 100 years old. Brooks’ version, along with Nashville’s Christ Church Choir, is one of the best versions of this song.

• 5. “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” (with Trisha Yearwood) (2016)

  Share

  In Garth and Trisha’s version, you can hear their closeness. It’s not really a surprise, but it’s worth noting that they just sound so good together.
• 4. “Marshmallow World” (with Trisha Yearwood) (2016)

  Share

  An upbeat, fun Christmas song that Garth and Trisha just nail. Yeah, it’s time for hot chocolate!

• 3. “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” (1999)

  Share

  Brooks’ vocals are so pure on this song. It’s the perfect song to bring in the holiday season.

• 2. “Santa Looked a Lot Like Daddy” (1992)

  Share

  This is a classic Buck Owens song released in the mid-1960s, and several country stars like Brad Paisley have covered it. Brooks’ version is wonderful, and he actually sounds just like Buck does in the original version.
• 1. “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” (1992)

  Share

  Wow, Garth just slams this song. It’s the second song on his first Christmas album, Beyond The Season. He sings with such conviction, so smoothly and with such emotion, and that’s part of the reason it tops the list.
