94.3 the Wolf Country That'll Make You Howl!
Garth Brooks is taking his Blame It All On My Roots Tour back to Oklahoma this fall. According to The Boot, the country superstar will play three shows at Tulsa’s BOK Center on Friday, Oct. 23; Saturday, Oct. 24; and Sunday, Oct. 25, with the Sunday performance billed as a matinee. Tickets for the Tulsa dates go on sale Friday, Oct. 2 via Ticketmaster.
The Tulsa run marks a homecoming for Brooks, who was born in the city and raised in Yukon, roughly 115 miles away. The new dates arrive as he gears up for a weekend in Orlando, Fla., and follow a busy first leg that has included multiple-night stands in several arenas. According to The Boot, recent stops have included Aug. 20–23 at Indianapolis’ Gainbridge Fieldhouse; Sept. 4–6 at Denver’s Ball Arena (including a matinee); Sept. 10–13 at Chicago’s Allstate Arena; Sept. 18–19 in Washington, D.C., at Capital One Arena; Sept. 25–27 at Orlando’s Kia Center (with a matinee); and Oct. 8–11 at Salt Lake City’s Delta Center (with a matinee).
The tour revives elements of Brooks’ blockbuster 1996 world tour, which set attendance records before his 2001 retirement. Per The Boot, the current production brings back the Drum Pod—a plexiglass-and-aluminum enclosure for drummer Mike Palmer—and shows are being recorded for a live album. At prior Blame It All On My Roots dates, Brooks has occasionally added extra shows or popped up for surprise dive bar sets, according to the outlet.
For listeners, the Tulsa stand offers a rare chance to see Brooks’ full-scale arena production in his home state, with multiple opportunities across the weekend and a matinee option on Sunday. With tickets going on sale Oct. 2, fans who missed the early tour cities—or who want to catch the revived staging and live-album taping—have clear details on when and where to plan.
