SiriusXM hosting Garth Brooks Zoom Interview

Event records live on April 1st

SiriusXM is giving fans a chance to attend a virtual interview with Garth Brooks on April 1st. SiriusXM Presents A Virtual Friends in ZOOM Places with Garth Brooks & Storme Warren with 40 participants with Brooks hoping to stretch that number to 55.

The event will air at a later date on SiriusXM’s The Garth Channel (Ch. 55), and may also feature surprise guests and performances. Brooks shared the announcement on Monday (March 29th) during his Facebook Live weekly series, Inside Studio G.

Fans can email rsvp@siriusxm.com to register. Registrants must include “Garth” in the subject line of the email and include your full name, valid email, and phone number in the email itself.

All requests must be received by 9 pm ET on March 31st. Must be a U.S resident at least 18 years of age to participate. Incomplete responses are ineligible to be selected. Limit one participant per household. Only winners will be notified via email.

Earlier Monday, Brooks announced that he has teamed with Fanpage to honor COVID-19 frontline heroes when his stadium tour resumes this summer. The country superstar is asking for nominations for frontline workers who have been keeping us well, stocking our grocery stores, teaching our kids, and keeping our cities running smooth during the pandemic.

One lucky winner and their nomination sponsor will each receive a pair of meet and greet passes to see Brooks backstage on the first stadium tour stop of 2021, which is expected to resume July 10th with a sold out show in Las Vegas, marking the first live event at Allegiant Stadium.

Brooks’ two other 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.

Brooks also confirms that other stadium tour dates are going to be announced soon. He says that some stadiums are going to require masks and choose not to serve concessions for safety purposes.

“Now, I want you to think about this as not as an inconvenience. I want you to really think about what I’m going to tell you,” Brooks shares during Monday’s show. “Stadiums live off of their concessions. So to say that they’re not willing to [sell concessions] to protect you and me, that’s a freakin’ huge statement of love from them to us.”

During the livestream, Brooks also said Anthology 2, which details the back half of his Nineties career, is expected this fall. It follows 2017’s Anthology 1: The First Five Years and 2018’s Anthology 3: Live. Each set contains an exciting, detailed, insider look at a specified period of time during Brooks’ career with first-hand commentary by Brooks and the people involved.
