Garth Brooks Concert Set for Drive-in Theaters

Country music superstar Garth Brooks is set for a concert event at 300 drive-in theaters across North America, on Saturday, June 27th.

It’s being promoted as the largest ever one-night show to play at outdoor theaters across the United States and Canada.

Drive-in theaters are having a renaissance, and with many traditional concert venues still closed, drive-ins are an ideal solution for performers, concert promoters and concert-goers.

“I am so excited to get to play again. I have missed it so much and want to get back to it,” said Brooks in a statement. “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.”

The concert will be created exclusively for this event, making this a once in a lifetime experience.

Unlike most drive-ins which charge per person, the Garth Brooks concert is charging by the vehicle.

Tickets are $100 per vehicle

Tickets are $100 per vehicle, so forget the cute two-seater roadster.

Pack in as many family members as you can into the largest SUV or pick-up truck you can find, so the per-person price is less.

Tickets go on sale Friday, June 19th at 12:00 PM ET / 11:00 AM CT / 10:00 AM MT / 9:00 AM PT at Ticketmaster.com/garthbrooks.

The website also has a list of participating drive-in theaters in your area. The event will take place rain or shine.

The show will adhere to guidelines recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) as well as all state and local health mandates.

Concert organizer Encore Live has partnered with leading health experts to establish procedures for staff and fans. These will include maintaining at least six feet of space between vehicles, the use of personal protective equipment by staff, leveraging contactless payment and ticketing systems, and limiting capacity in restrooms.

Guidelines around concessions will also be enforced to abide by individual state regulations.

Any drive-in theater owners who are not currently slated to air the concert and want to, please contact driveinowners@encorelive.com.

Encore Live has developed a reputation as one of the most innovative event production companies in the country. In the absence of traditional live events, the company reached exclusive agreements with drive-in theater owners across North America to safely bring fans this first-of-its-kind concert on a massive scale.
