Brilliant and very welcome news from Garth Brooks. This morning on Good Morning America he announced that he will perform a one night concert, June 27th on 300 drive-in screens across the country and “North America”.
Tickets will go on sale June 19th and will be $100-but that includes everyone you can cram into your car, truck or SUV.
In a statement, Garth said, “This drive-in concert allows us all to get back to playing live music without the uncertainty of what would be the result to us as a community. This is old school, new school, and perfect for the time we are in.”
Kieth Urban was the first artist to perform on a drive-in screen, a one-off in Nashville in April. And there have been several smaller such concerts on a localized basis. But this is the first time a major act has done something on a national scale.
According to Encore Live all of the participating Drive-In Theaters will be announced at 9am this coming Monday. Let’s hope West Wind here in Sacramento is one of them.
