Garth Brooks began his 2026 “Blame It All on My Roots” arena tour with two sold-out concerts at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis. The shows mark his return to arena touring after several years and feature a large-scale, in-the-round production, signalling a revival of the elaborate live presentation associated with his 1990s career.

The stage is surrounded by a circular LED “halo” and includes the returning elevated Drum Pod; performances are also being recorded for a forthcoming live project, Killer Live. Both opening nights combined major hits including “The Thunder Rolls”, “The Dance” and “Friends in Low Places” with rarer songs and cover versions, while the second night varied the set with tracks such as “Fishin’ in the Dark”, “Piano Man” and “Turn the Page”.
