Brooks resumed The Garth Brooks Stadium Tour last weekend with a sold out show in Las Vegas, marking the first live event at Allegiant Stadium, and first show back since being sidelined by COVID. It was one of three announced concerts that had to be postponed from 2020.

Brooks’ other two announced 2020 stadium dates have been postponed multiple times due to social distancing restrictions. The Cincinnati date — originally scheduled for Paul Brown Stadium for May 16th, but rescheduled for June 27th, and then for May 1st — will now happen on September 18th with Charlotte — originally scheduled for Bank of America Stadium on May 2nd, and then rescheduled for June 13th, then bumped again to October 10th and then to April 10th — will now happen on September 25th. All tickets for each original date will be honored for the respective new ones.

The Garth Brooks Stadium Tour has broken records since it launched in 2019, averaging over 83,000 tickets in each city and more a million tickets sold to date. Brooks has shattered attendance records in over 75 cities.

Brooks will also headline opening night of Cheyenne Frontier Days with special guest Ned LeDoux on Friday, July 23rd with a sold out show. Tickets went on sale on April 15th and sold out within an hour. Many fans were put in the queue but were unable to secure tickets.

Late last month, Brooks broke the entertainment record for Nissan Stadium in Nashville by selling more than 56k tickets sold within an hour as tickets continued to sell.

Last month, Brooks broke the entertainment record for GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, in just one hour with more than 74,500 tickets sold. The event is sold out.

In May, Brooks also broke the Ticketmaster record for the fastest stadium sell out in US history after selling more than 50k tickets to his Salt Lake City show in under 30 minutes. Another four thousand tickets sold out after construction was completed on Rice-Eccles Stadium. Brooks is also resuming his Dive Bar Tour in Salt Lake, the night before the sold out show. Brooks also sold over 70k tickets in 47 minutes for his August 14th performance at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, NE. The concert sold all 83k tickets within an hour and a half.

Brooks will bid farewell to legendary Studio 6A, longtime home to iconic music series Austin City Limits, with a pair of intimate performances on July 20th and July 21st. This event, originally scheduled for May 24, 2020 and delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will now feature two nights with the country superstar. Brooks returns to the original Austin City Limits stage where it all began for a memorable send-off to the historic Studio 6A on the University of Texas campus. Austin PBS’s Farewell to Studio 6A: An Evening with Garth Brooks will be a once-in-a-lifetime event celebrating the iconic institution and also a fundraiser for the public television station, Austin PBS, that produces the series.

His latest single, “That’s What Cowboys Do,” was released to country radio last week.
