Tickets went on sale Friday morning (Aug. 8) for Garth Brooks‘ upcoming Sept. 19 show at Philips Arena in Atlanta, and given the high demand, Brooks’ camp quickly added two additional shows. First, a show was added on Sept. 20 at 6:30 p.m., followed by a second show on Sept. 19 at 9:30 p.m.
Atlanta marks the first Southern stop on Brooks’ long-awaited comeback world tour, featuring Trisha Yearwood. Ticket prices for the Atlanta shows are $56.94 plus $4.56 tax, $6.00 service charge, and a $4.00 facility charge, for a total of $71.50. A six-ticket limit per customer has been set.

Due to an unforeseen illness with lead singer Gary LeVox, Rascal Flatts has canceled three shows scheduled for this week (Aug. 7-9).

• Thursday, August 7 – Idaho Center Amphitheater – Nampa, ID
• Friday, August 8 – Northern Quest Casino & Resort – Airway Heights, WA
• Saturday, August 9 – Rocking’ River Music Festival – Mission, BC, CAN

“It is incredibly difficult to make the decision to cancel shows and disappoint our loyal fans who have been so good to us over the years,” said bassist Jay DeMarcus. “The schedule of shows this past weekend, coupled with media days in New York City, have left him without a voice. We promise to return as soon as we can and give our fans the best show possible!”
Ticketholders should contact their venue for refund information.
Last month (July 10), the Country trio canceled a show at the OKC Downtown Airpark, reporting the same circumstances.

The Wild Feathers will hit the road for additional tour dates this fall this month in support of their self-titled debut album. The Nashville-based band’s audience continues to grow with each club and festival show across the country, including stops at Bonnaroo, Firefly, and Summerfest this year.

Wynonna and her band The Big Noise will embark on A Simpler Christmas Tour in December. Now in its second year, the tour will feature Wynonna performing holiday favorites alongside her greatest hits. A Simpler Christmas Tour will launch Dec. 3 in Springfield, Ohio, and will wrap Dec. 21 in Newberry, S.C.

“Every year I look forward to our Christmas tour,” says Wynonna. “It’s so easy to get caught up in the perfectionism and the expectations that this time of the year often brings. I love singing the music that inspires me to remember the real reason for the season. My hope is that people can come to the show, forget about their ‘to do’ list, and for the time we are together, simply enjoy themselves.”
The entertainer and author is currently working with husband/producer/drummer Cactus Moser on material for her eighth studio album, set for release on Curb Records in 2015.
A Simpler Christmas Tour dates:
Dec. 3: Clark State Performing Arts Center, Springfield, Ohio
Dec. 5: Plaza Theatre in Glasgow, Ky.
Dec. 6: Norton Center for the Arts in Danville, Ky.

Miranda Lambert has teamed with Crystal Light to debut the first “Playable Poster” at concert venues on her 30-city Platinum Tour. New technology allows Platinum Tour attendees to touch a Crystal Light poster and literally “spin” her record, which will unlock audio tracks from the new album Platinum. The posters are designed by Chicago-based VSA Partners.
“We’re excited to bring this cutting-edge Playable Poster technology to legions of Miranda Lambert fans nationwide,” said Jennifer Dahlgren, Senior Brand Manager for Crystal Light. “These posters will give our consumers a really unique way to experience Miranda’s music that is both memorable and fun.”
Conductive ink is printed on the reverse of the poster, creating touch sensors that can pick up electrical signals from fingers. The conductive ink is connected to a processor – similar to an iPad, but on paper – and an electric speaker is attached to the back, turning the poster into a megawatt speaker.
“I’m always thrilled to introduce new ways for my fans to interact with my music,” said Lambert. “What better way to kick off the ‘Platinum’ Tour than with my favorite brand Crystal Light, and a fun, unique way for concert-goers to enjoy my album.”
Lambert’s Platinum Tour launched July 10 and will run through September.
