Garth Brooks is bringing his Blame It All On My Roots Arena Tour north of the border for the first time, with two nights at TD Coliseum in Hamilton, Ontario, on Friday, December 4 and Saturday, December 5, 2026. These mark his first Canadian shows on the current tour and his first Canadian arena dates since earlier this decade.
Tickets go on sale Friday, November 6, 2026, at 10:00 a.m. ET via Ticketmaster. Every seat is priced at CAD $199.95 (approximately $177.45 inclusive of tax + $5 facility fee + $17.50 service fee). There is no dynamic pricing or tiered pricing—every seat in the house is the same fair price, with both end-stage and in-the-round configurations available.
About the Blame It All On My Roots Tour
The Blame It All On My Roots Arena Tour is a deliberate throwback to Garth’s legendary 1996–1998 World Tour. It features the return of his iconic overhead drum pod, a 360-degree stage surrounded by LED “halo” screens, and a production designed to put the intimacy of the arenas back at the center of the show. Brooks has described the concept as “putting the stadium show in a box,” so the energy multiplies in a smaller room while every seat feels like a good one.
The tour launched in August 2026 in Indianapolis and has already played multi-night stands in cities including Denver, Chicago, Washington D.C., Orlando, Salt Lake City, and Tulsa. Hamilton is the first Canadian stop; Brooks has referred to it as “the first stop” as the tour heads north, suggesting additional Canadian dates could follow.
