The neon lights on Nashville’s Lower Broadway will shine a little brighter, and classic country music will play a little louder, when the legendary Ernest Tubb Record Shop celebrates its grand reopening on November 13.  Garth and the team at Friends in Low Places Bar & Honky-Tonk are thrilled to welcome their neighbor back home.

“We are really happy for ET to be back in the Neon Neighborhood,” Brooks said.

Nearly 100,000 fans sped to the Formula 1 United States Grand Prix in Austin, Texas Saturday to catch Brooks' only concert of 2025. Bobby Epstein, chairman of Circuit of The Americas, predicted the show would be a "legendary evening" and that the 90,000-fan singalong would be sublime.

And it was.

"They were ready at the start and never waned," Brooks said. "They had spent all day in over 90-degree heat and still had the strength to wear my ass out! It's ALWAYS epic to play Texas!”

Trisha Yearwood took the Country Music Hall of Fame’s CMA Theater stage Sunday night not to only perform one of her own hits, but to celebrate the producer who signed her to MCA Records. With elegance and energetic emotion, she delivered a stunning version of “Perfect Love,” the 1997 hit she co-produced with Tony Brown for her album "Songbook: A Collection of Hits."

The performance served as a heartfelt tribute to Brown, who was officially inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame during the invitation-only Medallion Ceremony on October 19.

The Grand Ole Opry doesn’t officially turn 100 until November 28, but Garth Brooks just gave fans an early reason to celebrate.

On Friday night, October 3, Garth stunned the audience when he walked onto the Opry stage unannounced and launched into “Callin’ Baton Rouge.” The crowd’s reaction was instant—cheers, gasps, and a sea of phones raised toward the famous circle.

Tickets for the Grand Ole Opry’s official birthday party celebration show are on sale now.
