Garth Brooks adds Kansas City and Seattle matinees: the new dates and ticket times
Brooks has added afternoon performances to both stops on his Blame It All on My Roots Tour, bringing each city’s run to three shows. Tickets go on sale October 23.
Garth Brooks has added afternoon shows in Kansas City and Seattle to his Blame It All on My Roots Tour, bringing each city’s November run to three performances. Tickets for the new matinees are scheduled to go on sale October 23, according to Rolling Stone and MusicRow.
The additions are a November 7 show at Kansas City’s T-Mobile Center and a November 15 show at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena. In Kansas City, Brooks will play twice on the same Saturday. MusicRow quoted him saying that feels ‘like getting to eat two bowls of ice cream!!’
Garth Brooks’ new Kansas City and Seattle dates
MusicRow reported that the Kansas City matinee was added because of popular demand. It falls between the previously announced Friday and Saturday evening concerts, scheduled for November 6 and 7. Tickets for the afternoon show go on sale through AXS on Friday, October 23; Rolling Stone gives the sale time as 10 a.m. Central.
Seattle’s added performance is a Sunday matinee on November 15, following shows on November 13 and 14. MusicRow says tickets for all three Seattle performances go on sale October 23. Rolling Stone reports a 10 a.m. Pacific sale time for the Seattle dates and directs buyers to Ticketmaster.
Why the tour has more matinees
Brooks is announcing dates city by city rather than releasing the whole tour schedule at once, Rolling Stone reported. The magazine lists another three-show stop in Tulsa at BOK Center on October 23, 24 and 25, with an afternoon performance on the final day. Kansas City and Seattle now follow the same three-show pattern, though MusicRow attributed popular demand specifically to the Kansas City addition.
The Kansas City addition also extends a long run at T-Mobile Center. MusicRow says it will be Brooks’ 19th performance at the venue in 19 years; he helped open the building in 2007. The new date puts two of those performances on one day.
Rolling Stone describes Blame It All on My Roots as Brooks’ first full concert tour since a 30-date run ended in 2022. That earlier tour played stadiums, while this one is visiting arenas. The magazine says Brooks listed seats for this tour at $150 and is using a first-come, first-served sale without a presale phase.
