Raiders Line Up Country Music Star Garth Brooks To Play Allegiant Stadium Aug. 22

It’s concert on at Allegiant Stadium.

The country’s top-selling artist, Garth Brooks, is scheduled to be the first non-football game event at the Raiders’ new $1.97 billion stadium project just off the Strip in Las Vegas.

Brooks is set to perform Aug. 22 at 7 p.m. at the domed 65,000-seat venue that the Raiders say will be completed July 31. Tickets go on sale March 13 and start at $94.95 to see the seven-time CMA entertainer of the year.

One week later, the stadium is scheduled to host a UNLV vs California football game on Aug. 29. There are also pre-season Raiders games in August, too.
