Garth Brooks Adds Gigs & Unveils Album Details

Marking his first new studio album since 2001’s Scarecrow and his ninth full-length overall, Man Against Machine is due out Nov. 11.

“Music has always been a reflection of where mankind is at the time,” Brooks says. “For 14 years, I have watched heart and soul, dreams and individualism, fighting for their very existence in a world of increasing technology.  This album is a reminder to all those who dream, work, and fight for what they believe; do not give up your vision.”

You can preorder your copy at GarthBrooks.com or via new digital music shop GhostTunes.com. And don’t forget about the mega bundle that’s available with digital editions of all eight of his previously released albums. You’ll probably want to order the new double live 25th anniversary edition that includes 30 songs and 30 videos, as well as an instant download of Brooks’ new single, “People Loving People,” and the bonus track, “Send ‘Em On Down The Road.”

Following last week’s initial announcement of two shows in Minneapolis, Brooks now has 10 gigs to do in the City of Lakes. His residency at the Target Center is scheduled Nov. 6-8 and Nov. 13-15. Brooks will take the stage twice on the 7th, 8th, 14th and 15th, with performances scheduled at 6:30 p.m. and 10:30 p.m.  

The world tour with his wife, Trisha Yearwood, will also be stopping by Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 10-12 and Oct. 16-18, as well as Lexington, Ky., Oct. 31 and Nov. 1.

Tickets are on sale now.
