Garth Brooks Adds Denver Stop to “Blame It All On My Roots” Arena Tour
Garth Brooks has added two Denver dates to his "Blame It All On My Roots" arena tour, with shows at the Ball Arena on Friday 4 September and Saturday 5 September 2026. The stop is significant for fans as Brooks is reviving his in-the-round "Drum Pod" stage, the setup synonymous with his 1990s live shows and the record-breaking Double Live album, and the tour will be filmed for a planned new release called Killer Live.
Tickets for the Denver shows go on sale on Friday 31 July at 10:00am local time via Ticketmaster, priced at a flat $155.25 per seat (including fees) regardless of whether it's an end-stage or in-the-round position. There will be no pre-sales, with all tickets released simultaneously and an eight-ticket limit per order. The Denver dates follow four opening shows at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis in late August, with more tour stops expected to be announced.

- Garth Brooks adds two Denver Ball Arena shows on 4-5 September 2026

Explained simply
Garth Brooks is one of the world's best-selling music artists, credited with bringing country music into the mainstream during the 1990s. He has largely stepped away from touring in recent years but occasionally returns with major arena tours.
Brooks's current tour revives a legendary stage configuration known as the "Drum Pod". This in-the-round format, where the stage sits at the arena's centre rather than at one end, became iconic during his hugely successful live performances in the 1990s and was central to his Double Live album, a record-breaking release from that era.
The "Blame It All On My Roots" tour marks Brooks returning to the live stage format that defined his peak years as a performer. The tour is being filmed for a new live album, making it a significant moment for both longtime fans and those discovering his musical legacy.
