Garth Brooks’ popular Las Vegas residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace is coming to an end.

The country music superstar has announced the final dates for his residency, which will conclude in early 2025.

Brooks’ residency, which began in May 2023, has been a unique experience for fans. The “Plus ONE” concept allowed for intimate performances where Brooks often appeared alone on stage with just his guitar, though his band would join him for certain songs.

Brooks’ Emotional Farewell

Expressing mixed emotions about the end of his residency, Brooks shared in a statement:

“I can’t believe it has come and gone already…These last shows are going to be hard for me, emotionally, because I can’t stand the thought of this residency being over.”

He also noted that the Caesars gig has been his favorite so far, loving the flexible format that put music and fans first without strict setlists or rules.

Final Performance Dates

The last nine performances in 2025 are scheduled as follows:

February 21, 22, 23, 28
March 1, 2, 7, 8, 9

Tickets for Garth Brooks’ final Las Vegas shows go on sale September 19.

Brooks Reveals Future Plans

During an exclusive phone interview with USA TODAY, Brooks shared his thoughts about the end of his “Garth Brooks/Plus ONE” shows and his plans for the future.

Brooks confirmed that these last shows would indeed end after the second year. He said that he would miss the experience, praising the crowds for how amazing they have been.

“I’m gonna miss it. The crowds are that great. I’ll put a Garth crowd around anyone…It’s been fabulous. I hate to see the end of it.”

“The Dance” singer also shared what he has enjoyed most about being in Vegas. He revealed that it is the quality time he has got to spend with his band and crew, calling them “a good family full of good people.”

“Of the 31 of us [who are part of the residency shows], 24 of us started in 1994. Thirty years. That’s a family.”

After being asked what he will be doing performance-wise now, Brooks answer was simple: to be the plus one for his wife, Trisha Yearwood.

“My wife is sweet enough to be there for me every time I need her. I need to return that and we need to hear her more than two songs a night. I told her I’d front her. I’ll stay backstage and do whatever she needs.”
