GARTH BROOKS IS COMING HOME: BLAME IT ALL ON MY ROOTS ARENA TOUR HEADED TO TULSA

For Garth Brooks, home is spelled OKLAHOMA — and that’s where he’s headed.

Brooks is bringing his Blame It All on My Roots Arena Tour back to his home state, with Tulsa’s BOK Center announced as the next stop.

Born in Tulsa and raised in Yukon, Brooks will return to the BOK Center for the first time in more than a decade for three back-to-back shows on Friday, October 23, Saturday, October 24 and Sunday, October 25 (matinee).

“If you're lucky, you get to travel the world playing music,” Brooks said. “But the people you want to please the most are always going to be those who raised you.”

Brooks has been part of the BOK Center’s history from the beginning. He helped celebrate the arena's opening in 2008, participating in the ribbon-cutting ceremony before its first concert. When he returned to perform there in January 2015, fans responded in force, with more than 100,000 tickets sold on the first day.

The 2015 run marked Brooks’ first Tulsa concerts in nearly 18 years. His previous visit came in July 1997, when he packed Drillers Stadium for a run of sold-out shows that drew approximately 80,000 fans.

Now, he’s bringing a show to Tulsa built with the arenas of his early career in mind.

The Blame It All on My Roots Arena Tour wraps Brooks with towering LED screens known as “the halo,” while a 360-degree configuration puts fans on every side of the stage. The production also brings back Brooks’ iconic Drum Pod, a centerpiece of his arena shows in the 1990s.

“Playing Oklahoma feels so natural to me...be it Stillwater, OKC, Tulsa...just good commonsense people who KNOW their country music!!!” Brooks said.

Tulsa is the seventh stop announced on the Blame It All on My Roots Arena Tour.

Brooks’ Oklahoma roots run deeper than Tulsa. He grew up in Yukon before attending Oklahoma State University in Stillwater, where he competed in track and field. He learned how to be an entertainer while performing in local honky tonks.

All tickets for the Tulsa shows are $154 — a $140 ticket price, $4 facility fee, and $10 service charge — plus applicable taxes.

Tickets go on sale Friday, October 2 at 10 a.m. CT through Ticketmaster and on the Ticketmaster app.
