Garth Brooks Doesn’t Let Oklahoma Forget Where He Came From in Rowdy Homecoming

Rolling Stone ·

Garth Brooks returned to Tulsa for three concerts at the BOK Center, with Sunday’s show serving as a homecoming for the Oklahoma native. The two-hour performance built towards “Friends in Low Places”, as Brooks mixed high-energy crowd interaction with quieter moments, including tears during “The Dance”.

Brooks said the tour is being recorded for a live album, his first since 2018’s *Triple Live*. Tickets were priced at roughly $155 across the venue, part of his effort to keep prices consistent and limit the advantage of brokers. The three Tulsa shows were fewer than the nine he played there in 2015, and Sunday’s crowd left some upper-deck seats empty.

In short

  • Brooks played three shows in his Oklahoma hometown.
  • Tickets cost roughly $155 regardless of seat location.
  • The Tulsa run was smaller than his nine-show visit in 2015.
