Country superstar Garth Brooks has announced a second concert in the Twin Cities next year. He will now play May 3-4, 2019, at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Brooks was to visit the Capitol, but complications with his plane out of Nashville, Tenn., meant the meeting with Gov. Mark Dayton took place via conference call.

Brooks announced a May 4 show at the stadium earlier this month. Tickets to the show sold out in an hour Friday and left 50,000 people in line, online or on the phone without a ticket, according to a press release put out by Dayton's office.

Dayton tweeted at Brooks asking him to consider a second show "to make sure the MNs & fans who missed a ticket today can still enjoy the show."

Brooks tweeted back, "Let's make it happen for the people of Minnesota. I'm in!!!"

Brooks had an 11-show run at Target Center in 2014 and did a nine-concert stint in the arena in 1998. The series four years ago sold more than 200,000 tickets.

Tickets for the May 3 show go on sale at 10 a.m. Thursday.
