Brooks ' first world tour began in 1993 , reaching the UK after many domestic concerts . Brooks sold-out venues such as Birmingham 's National Exhibition Centre and London 's Wembley Arena , a feat never accomplished by an American country music artist . He also began the London radio station , Country 1035 . Despite the disdain of the British media , Brooks ' overall popularity in the country was evident , with a top disc jockey , Nick Barraclough , referring to Brooks as Garth Vader ( a play on Darth Vader ) for his " invasion " of the charts and his success in the country genre . Unlike Alan Jackson , who refused to return to the UK after being treated in a similar negative manner by the press , Brooks would later return in 1996 for more performances . Brooks also took his World Tour to other regions throughout Europe , as well as Brazil , the Far East , Australia , and New Zealand
