Garth Brooks announces "Blame It All On My Roots" Tour: Dates and how to get tickets

Garth Brooks does not need much to turn an arena into a choir. Give him a stage, a packed room and the opening notes of “Friends in Low Places,” and suddenly the line between performer and crowd all but disappears.

That is the promise behind the “Blame It All On My Roots” Tour, Brooks’ newly announced return to arenas in 2026. For now, the tour begins with two confirmed shows at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Friday, August 21 and Saturday, August 22, but the announcement also shared that more tour dates are coming.

The tour name comes straight from one of country music’s most iconic singalongs, but the setup points to more than nostalgia. Brooks is bringing back the Drum Pod, returning to the arena format that helped define his 1990s touring era and tying the shows to “Killer Live,” a new live recording project. In other words, these Indianapolis concerts look less like a one-off and more like the first chapter of a bigger Garth Brooks live era.

What to expect at a Garth Brooks concert

Garth Brooks is bringing the "Blame It All On My Roots" Tour back to the arena format that helped define one of the biggest live eras of his career. His official announcement describes the tour as a full-scale return to arenas, with the Drum Pod and a production designed to bring the power of a stadium show into a more intimate room.

Here is what fans can expect based on the announcement:

• Energy and vibe: A high-energy arena show built around the hits that made Brooks one of country music’s defining live performers.

• Production: The return of the Drum Pod, a signature piece of Brooks’ 1990s arena touring era.

• Setlist expectations: The announcement says Brooks is bringing “every hit he ever made” back to arenas, so fans should expect the biggest staples of his catalog, including the kind of singalongs that made "Friends in Low Places," "The Dance" and "The Thunder Rolls" concert-defining moments.

• Seating setup: The show features both end-stage and in-the-round seating, with all seats reserved.

• Live recording: The tour will help form the foundation for "Killer Live," Brooks’ new live recording project, which means these Indianapolis shows are not just the first dates of the tour — they are part of the project’s recorded history.
