Garth Brooks World Tour Will Next Stop in Atlanta

After putting 10 shows in Chicago on sale last week, Garth Brooks announced today that he and his wife Trisha Yearwood will next bring their world tour to Atlanta.
The concert will take place Friday, Sept. 19, at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Ga., and mark Brooks’ first time performing in the Southern city in 18 years.
The arena has plenty of room for extra shows, too — other than Brooks' show, the venue's website doesn't list any other bookings between Sept. 13, the date of his last Chicago show, and Oct. 1.

Tickets go on sale Aug. 8 at 10 a.m. ET via Ticketmaster. Like the Chicago shows, all tickets will be sold at a single price, in this case $71.50 including tax and service charges.
“I want to thank God and everyone who is giving me a second chance to look at a second career,” Brooks told journalists during a press conference earlier this month. “I don’t know too many artists who get this chance.”

Brooks is also expected to release a brand-new single to radio soon — a song he claimed “might be one of the greatest statements ever.” During that same press conference he also said a new studio album would hit stores later this year, and that digital versions of all his previous albums would be available soon as well.
