Garth Brooks has announced a brand new tour called “Blame It All On My Roots,” which will see the country music superstar “return to the arenas that made him a legend.”

For these shows, Brooks is also bringing back his in-the-round Drum Pod stage, the live setup that became central to his 1990s arena legacy and was famously immortalized on Double Live, still the best-selling live album in music history. Brooks will once again be rolling tape on this tour, with plans to release a new live project titled Killer Live.
