THE MAIN EVENT
GARTH BROOKS
📍BST Hyde Park, London
🗓️ 27 June 2026
🎟️ Tickets
This is the moment. A true icon of country music, Garth Brooks returns to the UK stage for the first time in nearly 30 years — and of course, he’s doing it in style. Headlining BST Hyde Park, he’ll be joined by Zac Brown Band (a firm favourite here in the UK) and Ashley McBryde (who’s gained a dedicated following – deservedly) for what promises to be one of the biggest country concerts of the year.
Expect a crowd full of denim, fringe, and cowboy hats. This is your chance to go all out — think classic, comfortable cowboy boots (Ariat Heritage Boots), bold flared denim, and a Rancher Hat – a look worthy of a legend. This event screams classic country vibes.
SHANIA TWAIN
📍Wembley Stadium, London
🗓️ 12 June 2026 – 4 July 2026
🎟️ Tickets
Let’s go, girls. Shania Twain is bringing her iconic energy across the UK throughout June as part of Harry Styles’ Together, Together tour. Expect powerhouse vocals, nostalgic hits, and a crowd ready to sing every word.
This is the ultimate excuse to embrace your most confident country-glam outfit. Glitter cowboy boots, iconic leather chaps, and a standout hat are strongly encouraged — because if there was ever a country concert to dress up for, it’s this one.
BUCKLE & BOOTS
📍Whitebottom Farm, Manchester
🗓️ 21 – 24 May 2026
