Garth Brooks To Play Calgary Stampede

Canadian Country Aircheck reports the Calgary Stampede has friends in low place, high places - and apparently country music royalty. Organizers have announced that they've booked superstar Garth Brooks to perform at the Saddledome July 12 for this year's 100th anniversary event.

Ticket information will be announced Tuesday.

The 50-year-old Brooks is one of the best selling musicians of all time, placing only behind Elvis Presley and The Beatles in overall album sales in the United States, and has won Grammy Awards and numerous country music awards.

The Calgary show will be one of Brooks's few live performances outside of Las Vegas since his return in 2009 from semi-retirement.
