The country music star Garth Brooks will open his newest tour with two performances at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis on Friday and Saturday, Aug. 21 and 22, organizers announced.
Shows to be recorded for new live album
Promoters said both Indianapolis concerts will serve as the recording sessions for Killer Live, Brooks’ upcoming live album. The practice of recording tour dates for live releases is familiar territory for Brooks; organizers cited Double Live — a prior live album credited as the best-selling live album in recorded music history — as precedent for the project.
Ticketing and pricing model
Tickets for both nights go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday, July 17, via Ticketmaster. The promoter is offering a single, uniform price for all seats: $154 before taxes and additional fees. That amount breaks down as follows:
| Component | Amount |
|---|---|
| Base ticket price | $140 |
| Facility fee | $4 |
| Service charge | $10 |
Promoters said the flat pricing is intended to make every seat in the arena the same price, though applicable taxes and any additional fees will apply at purchase.
Return to central Indiana
The announcement marks Brooks’ return to the Indianapolis area after multiple appearances in 2017. He has also taken the stage at Notre Dame Stadium twice, with performances there in 2018 and 2022, according to the release.
- Concert dates: Aug. 21 and Aug. 22, 2026
- Venue: Gainbridge Fieldhouse, Indianapolis
- Ticket on-sale: 10 a.m. Friday, July 17, via Ticketmaster
Promoters said the pricing model is intended to offer every seat in the venue at one uniform price.
For Indianapolis, the shows bring a national touring act to a downtown arena and present an early-season cultural draw that may attract visitors and local attendees alike. For fans, the two dates offer a rare opportunity to be part of recordings that will appear on an artist’s new live album.
Tickets and further details are available through Ticketmaster starting on the announced on-sale date.
