GARTH BROOKS REVEALS 2019 STADIUM TOUR

Garth Brooks reveals 2019 stadium tour

Garth Brooks took a break from touring in 2018 to record new music and, come to find out, plan a stadium tour.

Brooks announced the 2019 tour in a press conference from The Country Music Hall of Fame Wednesday. However, only St. Louis and Glendale, Ariz., were announced as tour stops. Dates will be revealed later, although the singer said tickets for shows in five cities will be on sale by Christmas.

The Country Music Association’s reigning entertainer of the year plans to play 10 to 12 stadiums a year for three years. Many, but not all, of the concerts will be in college stadiums.

“I can’t think of how to make music more fun other than add sports to it,” Brooks said, explaining he plans to encourage fans to wear the university’s colors to the concerts. “Our music was built for fun and the live stage.”

Brooks promised each stadium would be a unique experience. As such, he issued a challenge: “I’m going to challenge one person on this planet to come to all 30 shows.”
