Garth Brooks
will celebrate his record-breaking seven diamond albums on Oct. 24 with a free
show at Nashville’s Ascend Amphitheater. The singer made the
announcement on
Monday, alongside Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam.
The Tennessee
Department of Tourist Development will honor Brooks for becoming the first
artist ever to have seven diamond albums. The show is described as a special
“thank you” to fans in Tennessee. Brooks became emotional talking about his
adopted home during Monday’s media event.
I cant thank
Tennessee enough for taking me in as if I was one of their ownand allowing me
to chase a dream,” he said, pointing at the banner behind him. “I couldnt be
more proud to bring this back to the home of country music."
Fans can
expect a show unlike any other, Brooks tells Taste of Country. He’ll play seven
songs acoustic, one from each of the seven diamond albums. Trisha Yearwood is
likely to be the only collaborator, although Brooks admits that once the show
begins, all the rules and regulations of the show are likely to be broken.
For tickets,
follow the Tennessee Department of Tourism’s new QQQATQQQTennessee account on
SnapChat. Codes will begin being issued Monday(Oct. 3). Anyone unable to get
tickets can still watch the show live from a special viewing area at
Nashville’s Riverfront Park via giant video screens there.
Brooks isn’t
on SnapChat yet, although he divulged that he will be by the end of the week.
He also shared that two other albums are on the cusp of reaching 10 million in
sales. Both The Chase and In Pieces are close, but that could mean years away
in today’s retail environment.
