SUMMARY:Garth Brooks: Blame it on All My Roots Tour @ Gainbridge Fieldhouse
DESCRIPTION:HISTORY IS COMING  \nGARTH BROOKS ANNOUNCES THE BLAME IT ALL ON MY ROOTS TOUR \nKICKING OFF AUGUST 21 + 22 \nGAINBRIDGE FIELDHOUSE\, INDIANAPOLIS \n \nNASHVILLE\, TN (July 7\, 2026) Thirty years ago\, Garth Brooks launched what would become the largest concert tour on the planet. Now\, he is bringing it all back. \nFresh off a history-making\, sold-out performance at London’s Hyde Park\, Garth Brooks today announces the Blame It All On My Roots Tour — a full-scale return to the arenas that made him a legend\, headlined by the comeback of the iconic Drum Pod that changed live music forever. The tour kicks off with back-to-back nights in Indianapolis\, Indiana\, on August 21 and 22 at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. \nIn 1996\, the Drum Pod tour redefined what a live show could be\, and what it could leave behind. The recording captured from those nights became Double Live\, now certified 25 million by the RIAA and the biggest-selling live album in the history of recorded music. That same groundbreaking tour delivered back-to-back CMA Entertainer of the Year Awards and two Artist of the Decade honors. Thirty years later\, the Drum Pod returns\, and with it\, the retro arena era begins again. \n“Going back into the arenas is about putting the stadium show in a box\,” says Brooks. “The excitement gets multiplied by the intimacy. Every seat is a great seat. This is personal.” \nGarth is not just performing; he is recording. The Blame It All On My Roots Tour will serve as the foundation for Killer Live\, a groundbreaking new approach to live recording that continues Brooks’s tradition of capturing history in real time. 1990s country is having its moment\, and no one defined that era more completely than Garth Brooks. Now\, he is bringing every hit he has ever made back to the rooms where it all started. General on-sale begins Friday\, July 17 at 10 am ET at www.ticketmaster.com/garthbrooks or through the Ticketmaster App. All tickets are priced at $154.00 ($140 ticket price + $4.00 Facility Fee + $10.00 Service Charge) plus applicable taxes — every seat in the house\, one fair price. \nThe show features both end-stage and in-the-round seating\, with all seats reserved. There are no pre-sales or advance box office sales. All tickets go on sale simultaneously. There is an eight-ticket limit per purchase. Sign in to your Ticketmaster account (or create one) ahead of the on-sale to be ready when tickets go live. \nABOUT GARTH BROOKS: \nGarth Brooks is synonymous with groundbreaking\, history-making\, and barrier-shattering. Throughout his career\, he has constantly challenged preconceptions and limitations while bringing his music to a worldwide audience. He is the biggest selling artist in U.S. history as the first and only artist to pass 200M albums sold. Brooks is also the first and only artist to receive ten RIAA Diamond Awards for ten albums certified at over 10 million. According to the RIAA\, Double Live is the biggest-selling live album and the top-selling country album in the U.S. Double Live\, No Fences\, Ropin’ the Wind\, and Triple Live are four of the top five best-selling country albums of all time. Brooks has 20 Billboard #1 singles to his credit and was the first artist to garner top-5 singles at country radio in five consecutive decades–the ‘80s\, ‘90s\, ‘00s\, ‘10s\, and ‘20s. On the concert stage\, everywhere from dive bars and county fairs to arenas\, stadiums\, and Vegas theaters\, Brooks has shattered attendance records since his first tour. On August 7\, 1997\, Brooks drew the largest crowd ever to attend a concert in New York’s Central Park. \nBrooks has been awarded virtually every accolade an entertainer can receive\, including the Kennedy Center Honors and the Library of Congress Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. He is the only seven-time recipient of the CMA Entertainer of the Year award. He was named ACM Artist of the Decade for the 1990s and Pollstar’s Country Touring Artist of the Decade in 2021. He is a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame\, the Songwriters Hall of Fame\, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame\, the Musicians Hall of Fame\, the Pollstar LIVE Hall of Fame\, and the Grand Ole Opry. He has received 2 GRAMMY® Awards\, 17 American Music Awards\, and 12 People’s Choice Awards.

SUMMARY:Tommy Emmanuel: Living in the Light Tour @ Taft Theater
DESCRIPTION:NATIONAL SHOWS 2 PRESENTS\nTOMMY EMMANUEL\, CGP\nLIVING IN THE LIGHT TOUR \nTAFT THEATRE \nSATURDAY\, AUGUST 22 \nTickets On Sale Friday\, January 23 at 10am \nCincinnati\, OH (1/20/26) – Legendary Australian guitarist Tommy Emmanuel has announced his Living In The Light Tour will visit Cincinnati\, OH for a performance at Taft Theatre on Saturday\, August 22.  \nTickets will go on sale to the public beginning at 10am on Friday\, January 23 at Ticketmaster.com. Tickets will also be available at The Taft Theatre box office during normal business hours. \nAbout TOMMY EMMANUEL\, CGP \nHailed as “one of the best acoustic guitarists in the world” by NPR’s World Cafe\, Tommy Emmanuel got his start at the age of six\, when he first began touring his native Australia with his family’s band. As a teenager\, he earned a reputation as a highly sought after sideman and session player\, and by his early twenties\, Emmanuel was playing on chart-topping hits and performing with acts like Air Supply and Men at Work. Inspired in part by his hero\, Chet Atkins (who would later become a friend\, mentor\, and collaborator)\, Emmanuel stepped out on his own as a solo artist in 1979\, releasing the first in a string of acclaimed instrumental albums that would make him an unlikely celebrity in his home country and beyond. \nIn the decades that followed\, he would go on to headline everywhere from the Sydney Opera House to Carnegie Hall; tour with luminaries like Eric Clapton and John Denver; win a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Arrangement; perform for a televised audience of more than two billion at the Sydney Olympics; and collaborate with a who’s who of fellow guitar greats\, including Les Paul\, Mark Knopfler\, Joe Walsh\, Richard Thompson\, Jason Isbell\, and Billy Strings. \nRecorded in just four days\, Emmanuel’s latest album\, Living In The Light\, stands as the most daring—and most rewarding—collection in the globetrotting fingerpicker’s remarkable catalog\, fusing his pop\, jazz\, classical\, and roots influences into a virtuosic masterwork as exhilarating as it is intimate.

SUMMARY:The Wood Brothers @ Lexington Opera House
DESCRIPTION:The Wood Brothers to Perform at Lexington Opera House \non Tuesday\, August 25\, 2026 \nGeneral On-Sale Begins Friday\, March 27 at 10 A.M. \nLocal via Ticketmaster.com and LexingtonOperaHouse.com \n` \nLEXINGTON\, KY (March 24\, 2026) –– On Tuesday\, August 25\, 2026\, The Wood Brothers return to the Lexington Opera House. Dubbed “masters of soulful folk” by Paste\, The Wood Brothers formed after brothers Chris and Oliver Wood pursued separate musical careers for 15 years. Chris already had legions of devoted fans for his incomparable work as one-third of Medeski Martin & Wood\, while Oliver’s band King Johnson built a loyal following in the South. With drummer Jano Rix added as a permanent third member\, The Wood Brothers have evolved into one of roots music’s most revered acts\, playing sold-out shows across North America\, garnering a Grammy Award nomination\, and releasing nine studio albums\, including their recent release\, Puff of Smoke. \nLess a literal soundtrack to uncertain times or a roadmap showing how to live through them\, Puff of Smoke posits a happily contrarian outlook: Life can turn on a dime\, and all we truly have is the moment at hand. And that’s perfectly fine. “We’re not in control\,” says guitarist\, vocalist\, and songwriter Oliver Wood\, “and that can be good news. Puff of Smoke is a reminder that life is both precious and precarious — a sentiment underscored by our current geopolitical moment and the unpredictable nature of life itself — and The Wood Brothers invite you to join the ride. \nTickets will be available for purchase starting at 10 A.M. on Friday\, March 27\, at ticketmaster.com\, lexingtonoperahouse.com\, or in person at the Central Bank Center Box Office from 12-4 P.M. on Wednesdays and Fridays.

SUMMARY:O.A.R. with Special Guests Gavin Degraw & KT Tunstall @ Andrew J. Brady Music Center
DESCRIPTION:Legendary rock band O.A.R. has announced the O.A.R Three Decades Tour\, an expansive North American run celebrating the band’s remarkable three-decade journey. In celebration\, O.A.R. has released a brand-new single\, “Where We Are Right Now\,” available today on all streaming platforms – listen HERE. O.A.R.’s newest track delivers their signature blend of heartfelt lyrics and uplifting energy\, capturing the spirit of their journey as they launch their milestone anniversary tour. \n“When we started playing songs together in a basement in Rockville\, Maryland in 1996 we had big dreams of being a real deal touring band. We imagined playing our songs throughout the country\, living life on the road\, telling our stories to the world\, “said frontman Marc Roberge “The fact we’ve gotten to live that life for the last 30 years is a testament to the power of our audience. This tour is our way of saying thank you – to every fan who made our dreams come true. We can’t wait to see each and every one of you out there on the Three Decades Tour.” \nFeaturing all of the band’s career defining hits and a dynamic lineup featuring special guests Gavin DeGraw\, and KT Tunstall\, the milestone tour will bring O.A.R.’s renowned live show to amphitheaters\, arenas\, and landmark venues across the U.S. including a stop in Cincinnati\, OH at The Andrew J Brady Music Center on Friday\, September 4. Watch the band’s tour announcement video HERE. \nFormed in Rockville\, Maryland\, in 1996\, O.A.R. includes Marc Roberge (lead vocals\, guitar)\, Richard On (lead guitar\, backing vocals)\, Chris Culos (drums)\, and Jerry DePizzo (saxophone\, guitar\, backing vocals). The band has grown from high school friends jamming in basements to one of the most enduring live acts in modern rock. Over the last thirty years\, O.A.R. has sold out Madison Square Garden twice\, headlined Red Rocks Amphitheatre more than a dozen times\, earned multiple Platinum and Gold certifications\, and built one of the most passionate fan communities in music. This tour will see them perform across the nation’s most celebrated venues including The Greek Theatre\, Red Rocks and Jones Beach. \nLast month\, O.A.R. celebrated the 20th anniversary of their breakthrough album Stories of a Stranger with a deluxe reissue\, revisiting the era that produced hit singles like “Love and Memories\,” “Lay Down\,” and “Heard the World.” The release set the tone for an anniversary year that will include new music\, collaborations\, and archival content chronicling the band’s 30-year evolution. Stories Of A Stranger (20th Anniversary Edition) is coming Friday\, December 5 with 4 new bonus tracks – pre-order HERE. \nAbout O.A.R.: \nIt’s unbelievable that O.A.R. are still together thirty years since their first gig at an eighth grade talent show\, but these musicians are no strangers to “unbelievable.” In fact\, they’ve quietly shattered expectations at every turn over the last thirty years. Their journey may have started in Maryland\, but it’s taken them around the world with multiple sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden and Red Rocks Amphitheatre\, north of 1 billion streams\, and multiplatinum success. Creating an expansive catalog beginning with 1997’s The Wanderer\, they earned RIAA Gold certifications\, three Top 15 Billboard 200 debuts\, and collaborated with everyone from Robert Redford and Goo Goo Dolls to Wiz Khalifa and DJ Premier. Their latest album\, The Arcade\, features the fan favorite “In the Clouds.” O.A.R. members\, Marc Roberge and Jerry DePizzo\, are also founding partners of the Oceans Calling Festival in Ocean City\, Maryland\, a world-class\, multi-day celebration of music and community. Working alongside and driven by their talented partner Tim Sweetwood and his team\, they helped create a festival that has quickly become a cornerstone of Maryland’s cultural calendar\, making a lasting positive impact on the community. “The true reward isn’t just in the music\, it’s in the way it uplifts the community and shines a light on the great state of Maryland\,” says Jerry DePizzo. Through their charity\, Heard The World Fund\, O.A.R. have raised millions for education\, sustainability\, and pediatric cancer causes. Heading into their 30th year in 2026\, Marc Roberge\, Richard On\, Chris Culos\, and Jerry DePizzo are still having a blast as brothers—and it shows every time they take the stage.

SUMMARY:Squeeze\, Adam Ant\, & Haircut 100 @ Rose Music Center @ The Heights
DESCRIPTION:SQUEEZE \nWITH ADAM ANT AND HAIRCUT 100 \nROSE MUSIC CENTER AT THE HEIGHTS \nFRIDAY\, SEPTEMBER 4\, 2026 \nTickets On Sale Friday\, May 8 at 10AM \nHUBER HEIGHTS\, OH (5/5/2026) – This Fall\, Squeeze return to North America for a major tour with Adam Ant and Haircut 100\, bringing one of the UK’s most beloved songbooks back across the Atlantic at a moment of renewed creative momentum. The 2026 tour includes a stop in Huber Heights\, OH for a performance at Rose Music Center on Friday\, September 4. \nTickets will go on sale to the public beginning at 10AM on Friday\, May 8 at Ticketmaster.com and the Rose Music Center Box Office. \nMarking 50 years together\, Squeeze’s new album Trixies is both a revelation and a full-circle moment. Drawn from songs Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook first wrote as teenagers in 1974\, the record reimagines a lost “concept album” set inside a fictional nightclub—complete with vivid characters\, shadowy storylines\, and the sharp observational detail that would later define their work. Once shelved due to youthful limitations\, these songs have now been fully realized decades later\, capturing the raw spark of their earliest collaboration with the confidence and craft of seasoned masters. This precocious collection of songs – under the guiding production hand of Squeeze’s bassist Owen Biddle (The Roots\, John Legend\, Al Green) – finally gets to enjoy its moment in the spotlight. \nPraise for Trixies positions Squeeze at a rare creative peak\, with SPIN calling it “the duo’s personal masterpiece” and marveling at “the ambition” and “a swathe of great moments.” FLOOD hails Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook as “one of the great songwriting duos of their time\,” while Brooklyn Vegan notes that the album captures their signature style already fully formed—“complex melodies that nonetheless sound effortless” and “a youthful energy…that marks Squeeze’s best records.” Elsewhere\, SPILL calls it “a brilliant step back in time” that still feels strikingly current\, and PopMatters praises its “immersive” world\, concluding that Trixies proves the band “were always destined to be formidable artists.” \nSqueeze’s enduring appeal\, from classics like “Up The Junction\,” “Tempted\,” and “Cool For Cats” to a catalog embraced by artists as wide-ranging as Erykah Badu and The Shins\, their songwriting has long bridged generations. In recent years\, a revitalized lineup has transformed that legacy into a live show widely regarded as one of the strongest of their career—dynamic\, sharp\, and newly resonant with younger audiences discovering the band through streaming. \nWith Trixies sparking a fresh wave of creativity—and more new material already waiting in the wings—Squeeze step into this North American run not as a legacy act\, but as a band in a genuine late-period surge. \nABOUT ADAM ANT \nAdam Ant is one of the defining figures of new wave\, rising to fame in the early ’80s with Adam & The Ants and a string of era-defining hits including “Antmusic\,” “Stand and Deliver\,” and “Prince Charming.” Blending Burundi-influenced rhythms with glam swagger and punk energy\, he became a central figure of the MTV generation\, later achieving solo success with “Goody Two Shoes\,” which cemented his status in the U.S. \nWith a career spanning over four decades\, Ant’s influence extends across music and culture—impacting artists from alternative rock to industrial\, while also building a parallel career as an actor. His ANTMUSIC tour celebrates that legacy\, drawing from every era of his catalog and reaffirming his place as one of pop’s most distinctive and enduring performers. \nABOUT HAIRCUT 100 \nHaircut 100 are a British pop group formed in 1980 in Beckenham\, London\, led by frontman Nick Heyward alongside Les Nemes and Graham Jones. Rising quickly in the early ’80s\, they became one of the era’s defining pop acts with four UK Top 10 singles—including “Love Plus One\,” “Favourite Shirts (Boy Meets Girl)\,” “Fantastic Day\,” and “Nobody’s Fool”—and their platinum-selling debut album Pelican West. \nAfter an initial burst of chart success and international touring\, the band split in 1983 before reuniting decades later for a series of celebrated live performances. In recent years\, Haircut 100 have returned to the stage and studio\, reconnecting with audiences across generations while continuing to build on their bright\, melodic legacy\, with new material and their first album in over 40 years\, Boxing The Compass\, on the horizon.
