Like most artists, Garth Brooks can’t really tour right now, but he’s found a way to bring music to fans. During an appearance on “Good Morning America” Garth announced he’ll headline a very special drive-in concert. “Encore Live Presents a Garth Brooks Drive In Concert Experience” will take place June 27th, airing at 300 drive-ins across North America.

“They’re going to run it just like a regular concert, but this is going to be all over North America, one night only,” Garth told “GMA.” “We are excited because this is a reason to get out of the house, but at the same time you get to follow all the COVID rules from every individual state and you get to have fun and stay within the guidelines of social distancing … we’re calling it ‘social distancing partying.’”

Tickets for the concert go on sale June 19th, at a cost of $100 per vehicle. About 250-300 tickets are expected to be sold per drive-in, which would make Garth’s audience about 360,000. Click here for info on tickets.

ONE MORE THING! Garth was honored this week with the Icon award by the National Music Publishers Association. In a pre-taped acceptance speech, Garth played excerpts from James Taylor’s “Fire and Rain” and his hit “The River.” “Thank you for being so sweet to think about somebody in country music — I love this format,” Garth said. “And I love what you guys are doing to fight for every songwriter up in DC, including myself. … You stand up for songwriters, and 99.9% of us can’t stand up for ourselves.”
