Garth Brooks Adds New Date to Chicago Tour Stop

Garth Brooks won't begin his Chicago tour stop on Sept. 10 after all. The "Friends In Low Places" singer is backing things up as demand for his tour requires.

Garth Brooks begins his Blame It All On My Roots Tour at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Ind., on Aug. 20.
So far, three cities have been announced.
More dates are to be announced in the future.

Tickets for the Blame It All On My Roots Tour stop in Chicago went on sale on Friday (Aug. 7). None of the shows have listed as sold out but on Facebook, Brooks said the demand required an additional concert.

So, he'll officially open the tour in Chicago on Sept. 10. He'll also play Sept. 11 and Sept. 12 (evening) and then Sept. 13 (matinee).

Are Garth Brooks' Tour Stops Really Sold Out?

Brooks isn't just blowing smoke when he says sales for his tour stops have been robust. Taste of Country spot-checked several dates from his Indianapolis and Denver concerts and found most were either sold out or left with single tickets.

One or two ticketing maps featured rows of available tickets in the upper deck, back. For example, the last two dates in Denver (Sept. 5 and 6) have under 50 or under 1,000 tickets remaining, respectively.
