Garth Brooks Is Set For Two Performances
To Salute Pearl Harbor With Trisha Yearwood
This Will Be The First Time That Garth Brooks
Has Performed in Hawaii
LOS ANGELES- October 12, 2016 – 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 two performances will be much like his shows at Wynn in Las Vegas, just him and his acoustic guitar. The two performances will be December 10th at the Neal S. Blaisdell Arena. The first show is at 6:30 PM and the second show is at 10:00 PM. Ticket sale details are below.
Brooks will be performing for Pacific Historic Parks which will be dispersing 100 percent of the 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 & Park, and Battleship Missouri Memorial.
The back-to-back concerts are the culmination of a week-long schedule of events commemorating the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, other military bases, and civilian areas on the Island of O’ahu, which led directly to our country’s entry into WWII.
Admiral Thomas Fargo, Chair of the 75th Commemoration Committee said, “The 75′ 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.”
“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 Garth Brooks.
Concert organizer under the auspices of Pacific Historic Parks, Ron Gibson said, “We are thrilled to welcome Garth Brooks to the islands for his first time performing in Hawaii. His performance will resonate with many here given the unique nature of the show. This will be Garth Brooks, “kanikapila” style: the man, his guitar, and stories, many, many, stories. This is Garth Brooks unplugged and personal. It’s high energy and captivating from the first note to the very last.”
Tickets will be on sale Saturday, October 22nd at 10:00 AM HST. There will be an eight ticket limit per purchase. Tickets can only be purchased at ticketmaster.com/garthbrooks or ticketmaster.com or either Ticketmaster Express 1-866-448-7849 or 1-800-745-3000. Please note there will be no ticket sales at the venue box office or Ticketmaster outlets on October 22nd. Certain tickets will be issued as “paperless” tickets and the credit card used to purchase the tickets is required upon entrance at the venue.
All tickets will cost $69.00 plus $6.25 service fee.

Joy Formidable
2016-12-11 20:00 - 23:00 | The Republik, 1349 Kapiolani Blvd 3rd Fl, Honolulu, HI, 96814, United States
BAMP Project and Alt 105.9 present The Joy Formidable live in Honolulu at the Republik, Sunday, December 11th, 2016. Tickets will be available exclusively to BAMP Blast eNewsletter Subscribers Thursday, October 20th from 9:00am until 10:00pm online only. Tickets will be on sale to the General Public on Friday, October 21st starting at 9:00am at all the locations listed below. This is an all ages accompanied by an adult event.
The Joy Formidable have never been one to shy away from a challenge. Once described by Rolling Stone as “wickedly bracing and Himalaya-huge;” the fantastic live band would now face the self-appointed challenge of ensuring their onstage energy and ability to connect with audiences translated via recording. That is the challenge that TJF took on for their upcoming third release. “We realized we needed to build a space and do it ourselves, go back to being three people in a room again” said Ritzy (Rhiannon) Bryan regarding the band's decision to self-produce the new record.
Twelve months later, the band have made an album that has “musically and emotionally put them through the wringer” but as the band explains, “it's fine for it to hurt, to finish a record feeling exhausted, we needed a good purge”
Continuing on the path of taking matters into their own hands, the group set out to build the right team around the new music by getting the legendary Alan Moulder to mix the album (The Killers, Nine Inch Nails, The Smashing Pumpkins, etc) and by starting their own label and teaming up with Caroline Records as new partners for the release.
A local opening act will be announced soon.
