For his first performance in Hawaii, Garth Brooks is set to perform unplugged alongside special guest Trisha Yearwood, in support of the 75th commemoration of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The concerts will both be held Dec. 10 at the Neal S. Blaisdell Arena on Oahu.
The two performances,will be much like his shows at Wynn Las Vegas, just him and his acoustic guitar. The first show is 6:30 p.m. and second is at 10. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on Saturday.
Brooks will be performing for Pacific Historic Parks with net proceeds from the performances to four historic organizations with the mission of preserving the legacy of Pearl Harbor: WWII Valor in the Pacific National Monument (USS Arizona Memorial), Pacific Aviation Museum Pearl Harbor, USS Bowfin Submarine Museum and Park, and Battleship Missouri Memorial.
“The 75th Commemoration embraces our respect for all men and women who have answered the call of duty for the last seven decades and especially honors those whose sacrifice protected our nation and secured victory during WWII. Garth Brooks embodies our theme of ‘honoring the past and inspiring the future.’ His phenomenal success as an artist and personal dedication to philanthropy are unparalleled,” said Admiral Thomas Fargo, Chair of the 75th Commemoration Committee in a press release.
The back-to-back concerts are the culmination of a week-long schedule of events commemorating the Dec. 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor, other military bases, and civilian areas on Oahu, which led directly to the U.S. entering World War II.
“I can speak for Miss Yearwood when I say it is a privilege to be a part of honoring our nation’s fighting men and women who have and continue to serve our great nation. We look forward to a night packed with music laughter and respect. We invite all to join us and raise as much money as we can to support these memorials that honor our past and our future,” said Brooks.
There will be an eight ticket limit per purchase, and tickets are $69, plus fees. Tickets can be purchased at www.ticketmaster.com/garthbrooks or Ticketmaster Express (866) 448-7849 or (800) 745-3000.
