“What I hope is the week after the shows, people go, “Hey look man, we mass-assembled and we sang and we had fun like it was 2019 — and we’re not worse off for it,’” he tells “Billboard,” adding, “for me, the most important thing is what happens after that in that city. Did everyone come out of it OK? And if so, then, thank you, God,” noting, “That’s what you’re hoping for more than anything.”
As for precautions that will be taken, Garth says, ”you do all you can do,” noting venues are hiring more ticket staff, and will be handing out masks to those who want one. “We’re all taking our steps toward recovery at our own pace and let’s all be family,” he says. “Let’s all have a good time, and let’s respect each individual’s way of how they’re handling this and coming out of it.”
- And Garth is anticipating his first time back on stage is going to be a great night. “My voice is going to be gone after two songs. I think I’m just so excited, I’m going to wear myself out the first 10 minutes,” he says. I’m like a little kid. I just can’t wait to get back to the playground and hear those people sing.”
- ONE MORE THING! Tickets went on sale over the weekend for Garth’s August 7th show at Kansas City’s GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium and broke another record. Garth sold over 74,500 tickets in just one hour, a record for ticket sales for an entertainment show at the stadium.
