Garth Brooks returns to the stage after almost 7 years of retirement

After almost seven years of retirement, Garth Brooks will take the stage for the first time to perform a thank-you concert for Wal-Mart. Tickets will also be made available for the country music singer's fans.

 

In 2005 Brooks signed a deal with Wal-Mart to exclusively distribute his music. As a thank you to Wal-Mart, Brooks announced that his first concert in six years will be on November 14, 2007.

 

In August of this year Brooks announced the release of a new box set called ‘The Ultimate Hits.’ The package included 30 hits and four new songs, and will be released in Wal-Mart stores on November 6.

 

“Several months ago, we’d announced that we would perform a thank you concert for our friends at Wal-Mart. They suggested either Fayetteville or Kansas City,” Brooks said. He continued by announcing they chose the Sprint Center in Kansas City, Missouri as it allows more space, which means they can offer tickets to the public.
