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 aired as a two hour long special on CBS. During this show, Brooks also mentioned his intent to close the tour by returning back 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 2014–2017, 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.[5] 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]
