Brooks will Blame It All On My Roots on tour

The tour kicks off with back-to-back nights in Indianapolis, Ind., on Aug. 21 and 22 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse.

In 1996, the Drum Pod tour became "Double Live," now certified 25 million by the RIAA and the biggest-selling live album in the history of recorded music. That same tour delivered back-to-back CMA Entertainer of the Year Awards and two Artist of the Decade honors.

"Going back into the arenas is about putting the stadium show in a box," said Brooks. "The excitement gets multiplied by the intimacy. Every seat is a great seat. This is personal."

The Blame It All On My Roots Tour will serve as the foundation for Killer Live, what Brooks said in a press releaase was a "new approach" to live recording. It was unclear exactly what that menat.
