Dierks Bentley Gives Jet Skis to Say Thanks

October 19th 2018

Dierks Bentley gave jet skis to the opening acts on his Mountain High tour to say thanks...and he did it in a sneaky way. He brought Brothers Osborne and Lanco on his bus to discuss a horrible encore song choice. Dierks told them he want to change the lyrics of "Sweet Home Alabama" to "Sweet Home San Diego". As they continue to discuss how terrible that idea is, Dierks suggests they take the conversation outside and that is where the jet skis were waiting. They all took turns giving Dierks a hug. He shared a video of the surprise on Instagram.

Garth Brooks Announces a Stadium Tour

October 18th 2018

Garth Brooks has announced his largest stadium tour ever. During a press conference, Garth revealed that the tour will start in spring 2019 and there will be 30 stadiums on the tour. He'll do 10 to 12 over the course of three years. "This one is going to be so special, so rare," he says. "This one's going to be fun and each one's going to be unique - their own thing." If you aren't one of the lucky fans who will be at the concert at Notre Dame this Saturday, you'll be able to catch it on TV. CBS will air a two-hour special, Garth: Live at Notre Dame, on December 2nd. "After the sellout, I thought it could not get any more exciting than this," said Garth. "Then, CBS calls and in an instant the show becomes bigger. This changes everything."
