by Jim Casey | @TheJimCasey | June 4, 2018

After four-week hiatus, Garth Brooks returned to his weekly Facebook Live series, Inside Studio G, on June 4 to make a series of announcements.

In addition to announcing that new music and a new tour are forthcoming, Garth revealed that he will participate in a Q&A during CMA Fest at Xfinity Fan Fair X on June 9 from 12:15 to 1 p.m. on the Close Up Stage inside the Music City Center.

During the Q&A, which will be hosted by Storme Warren, Garth will answer questions from fans in the audience. Tickets for Fan Fair X are available for $10 each day, or $25 for a four-day pass for June 7–10.

Garth noted that new tour dates and cities will be announced in the coming weeks, as well as more details on his new music.

“In the last few months, we knew that something was coming,” said Garth. “It’s just funny how it all kinda fell in line at the same time. So, in Studio G this week, we just pretty much said ‘Yes’ to everything! The new tour…new music…just really excited about everything that’s coming…and the details will come out as they come out. I’m hoping over the next two, four, six weeks that we’ll have everything in line to make the announcements for the rest of the year.”
