Garth Brooks announced the addition of five more shows in Des Moines after fans scooped up more than 70,000 tickets in the first hour of sales. The country superstar will now play six shows at the Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines, beginning April 29.
The Garth Brooks tour originally included a single show at the Wells Fargo Arena, scheduled for April 30 at 7 p.m. The show marked Brooks' first appearance in the Des Moines market in 23 years.

These six shows will be the only stops in Iowa, according to a press release. The singer has also added shows in Fargo, North Dakota, Columbus, Ohio and a number of other cities.
