Nov. 12 at the Richmond Coliseum is the when and where for Brooks and his wife, Trisha Yearwood.  Tickets go on sale Sept. 30 at 10 a.m. EDT.

How’s the tour coming along?  The Los Angeles Times’ Mikael Wood described an evening at Anaheim’s Honda Center where the artist was as excited as his fans.

“Fronting a muscular 10-piece band, he spent nearly the entire 2 ½-hour show in motion, doing laps around the circular stage, pouring water over his head, jabbing his fingers at people in the audience as he screamed at them,” Wood wrote. “He even climbed atop the spherical contraption his drummer sits in during  ‘Ain’t Going Down (’Til the Sun Comes Up),’ a brisk honky-tonk number whose rapid-fire lyrics aren’t easy to deliver even if you’re standing still.”

Here’s Brooks’ schedule with the shiny new date bolded for easy reference:
