After tackling Yankee Stadium with a set of shows in July, Garth Brooks isn’t resting on his laurels.

In his ongoing quest for musical world domination, Garth made a big announcement this morning (July 27): he’s slated to perform a full concert at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium—for the first time—on Sept. 8. The concert coincides with the Sept. 8 launch of The Garth Channel on SiriusXM. The invitation-only concert will air live on The Garth Channel and via the SiriusXM app and siriusxm.com.

The Garth Channel will feature music from Garth’s extensive catalogue, songs from artists who influenced his career, live concert recordings, behind-the-scenes commentary from Garth, and guest DJ specials hosted by Garth’s fans and friends.

SiriusXM subscribers who have had an account since July 11 will have the opportunity to enter to win tickets to Garth Brooks’ private SiriusXM concert beginning on July 27 by a radio call-in opportunity and beginning on July 28 by online entry.
