Last month, Brooks announced that Orlando would be the fifth stop on his “Blame It All On My Roots Tour” with shows on Sept. 25 and 26. After selling out tickets to the Friday and Saturday shows, Brooks has now added a 2 p.m. matinee show on Sunday, Sept. 27.
Tickets for the new show date go on sale at 10 a.m. Sept. 16. All tickets are priced at $154.50 including fees; there are no pre-sales or advance box office sales. The show features both end-stage and in-the-round seating.
This tour brings back the drum pod, a centerpiece of Brooks’ 1990s arena shows. Drummer Mike Palmer will sit inside a massive plexiglass-and-aluminum enclosure that resembles a spaceship. These shows will serve as the foundation for “Killer Live,” a new live recording project that seeks to capture “history in real time.”
Brooks kicked off his tour in August with four sold-out shows in Indianapolis before heading to Denver for Labor Day weekend. This month, he will stop in Illinois and Washington, D.C., before heading to Orlando for his now three-show tour stop.

Known for chart-topping hits such as “The Thunder Rolls,” “The River” and “Friends in Low Places,” Brooks is the best-selling solo artist in the U.S. with more than 200 million albums sold and 10 RIAA-certified Diamond albums each selling over 10 million copies. He’s been named the Country Music Association’s Entertainer of the Year seven times, received two Grammy Awards, 17 American Music Awards and 12 People’s Choice Awards.
Brooks is known for his electric live shows, famously drawing around 1 million people to his 1997 concert at Central Park in New York. He also has a long history in Central Florida, first playing Sanford’s The Barn in 1989 and performing four shows in two days at the Kia Center in 2016, then known as the Amway Center.
