The Garth Brooks Stadium Tour was a concert tour by American singer Garth Brooks. It began on October 20, 2018, in Notre Dame, Indiana, at Notre Dame Stadium and concluded with 5 sold-out shows at Croke Park in Dublin, Ireland ending on September 17, 2022.

Background

After wrapping up his World Tour in 2017, Brooks announced a new tour in October 2018. The Stadium Tour, which began in spring 2019, will visit 30 North American stadiums, showcasing Brooks in a football-centric environment.[1] [2] [3] Brooks "unofficially" kicked the tour off with a concert at Notre Dame Stadium on October 15, which was filmed as a two-hour television special for CBS. During this show, Brooks also mentioned his intent to close the tour by returning to Notre Dame.[4]

Special performances and broadcasts

During the first concert of the tour in St. Louis, Missouri on March 9, 2019, Brooks announced portions of the show would be recorded for a future documentary to air on A&E.[5] The documentary, titled Garth Brooks: The Road I'm On, chronicles Brooks' career and aired in December 2019.[6]

Also during the St. Louis concert, Brooks introduced his wife, Trisha Yearwood, to perform a selection of her songs. Yearwood, who performed with Brooks on his entire World Tour from 2014 to 2017, previously stated she would not perform on the Stadium Tour. However, due to inclement weather canceling her scheduled pre-show event outside the stadium, Yearwood joined Brooks for a special performance. Yearwood also joined Brooks for the show in Gainesville, Florida on April 20, 2019, to perform a tribute to Tom Petty.[7]

On July 19, 2019, during the first of two shows in Boise, Idaho, Blake Shelton joined Brooks to perform their song, "Dive Bar". Footage from the concert was later released as a music video.[8]

After its stop in Detroit in February 2020, the tour was halted indefinitely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. All remaining shows were rescheduled for 2021, with the tour resuming in Las Vegas on July 10, 2021.[9] [10] [11] A planned show at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tennessee on July 31 was postponed due to inclement weather.

On August 18, 2021, all remaining stops on the tour were cancelled indefinitely due to SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant. All tickets were refunded, and Brooks stated that they planned to pursue rescheduling the dates in 2022.[12]

During the July 30, 2022 show held at AT&T Stadium, Garth Brooks revealed this show was being recorded as the live album for the Stadium Tour.[13]
