Due to the resurgence of Covid, Garth Brooks has made the decision to cancel the next five shows on his Stadium Tour, which include Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati scheduled for September 18th; Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, scheduled for September 25th; M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore, scheduled for October 2nd; Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, scheduled for October 9th; and Nissan Stadium in Nashville, which has not been rescheduled yet. Ticketmaster will automatically issue a refund to the original method of payment used at the time of ticket purchase.
Via a press release, Garth said, “In July, I sincerely thought the pandemic was falling behind us. Now, watching this new wave, I realize we are still in the fight and I must do my part. I have asked the wonderful cities of Cincinnati and Charlotte to wait too long and I don't want to now do that same thing to the great folks in Boston and Baltimore. As far as Nashville, we are looking for a make up date from the July rain out and though this is not COVID related, to make them wait makes me sad, as well. So, it is with a heavy heart we announce the decision to cancel all 5 shows but with a hopeful heart, we will reschedule and start over when this wave seems to be behind us.”
A spokesperson for the tour said the team will continue to monitor the virus' impact and watch how schools, sports, and other entertainment entities are handling this stage of the pandemic. Garth added, “I'm sincerely hoping we are back on tour before the year's end. With that said, the most important thing to me is fulfilling my end of the Stadium Tour by making sure every show is doable before putting tickets on sale (that is why we pulled the Seattle on sale) and making sure the environment these people are trading their time and money to put themselves into is not only the best experience ever, but also the safest one we can provide.”
Since restarting the tour in July, The Garth Brooks Stadium Tour has entertained over 300,000 fans across the first five cities.
