Nashville, TN – August 12, 2019 – Garth Brooks wrapped a powerful weekend in Regina, SK bringing the “turbo-charged” (Variety) THE GARTH BROOKS STADIUM TOUR to a sea of dedicated fans Friday (8/9) and Saturday night (8/10), for two back-to-back shows at Mosiac Stadium. Friday’s show saw Brooks take to the stage following a weather delay with Regina Leader Post praising the entertainer as he “puts on epic show, post-storm.” Brooks unleashed hit after hit each night while entertaining 80,000 fans across both nights in Canada. The unforgettable Regina shows marked the first-ever country concert events held at Mosaic Stadium. Brooks, who added the second Regina, SK date (8/10) due to huge demand, will continue on the monumental tour with more show dates to be announced in the coming months.

Brooks will also play the second show of his highly-anticipated DIVE BAR TOUR this week, Aug. 15, in Bakersfield, CA at Buck Owens’ Crystal Palace. With Chicago as the first stop on the DIVE BAR TOUR, Brooks will play six shows total as part of the special stint.
