Garth Brooks won’t begin his Chicago tour stop on Sept. 10 after all. The “Friends In Low Places” singer is backing things up as demand for his tour requires.
Tickets for the Blame It All On My Roots Tour stop in Chicago went on sale on Friday (Aug. 7). None of the shows have listed as sold out but on Facebook, Brooks said the demand required an additional concert.

Are Garth Brooks’ Tour Stops Really Sold Out?
Brooks isn’t just blowing smoke when he says sales for his tour stops have been robust. Taste of Country spot-checked several dates from his Indianapolis and Denver concerts and found most were either sold out or left with single tickets.
One or two ticketing maps featured rows of available tickets in the upper deck, back. For example, the last two dates in Denver (Sept. 5 and 6) have under 50 or under 1,000 tickets remaining, respectively.
Garth Brooks’ 2026 Blame It All On My Roots Will Be Recorded For a Live Album

A press release says that Brooks is recording the music he performs onstage for something he dubs Killer Live, “a groundbreaking new approach to live recording that continues Brooks’s tradition of capturing history in real time.”
