Bryan Andrews will kickoff his “Taking My Flag Back” tour in November.

The 20 date trek will include support from Lou Ridley. The t0ur will include stops across the country including Boston, Nashville, Denver and more through December, and a portion of proceeds from the upcoming run will benefit a charity to be announced soon.

Tickets go on sale this Friday (July 10) at 10am local time.

Andrews also recently marked America’s 250th anniversary with his new 8-track mixtape project, Independence Day, out now.

Independence Day features two new tracks, “Home of the Chained” and “Backwoods Backwards,” plus recent viral hits “Are We Great Yet?”, “Yeehaw”, “Not See”, and “The Older I Get,” which previously topped Billboard’s Country Digital Song Sales, Digital Song Sales, and Emerging Artists charts. A new video for “Backwoods Backwards” also just released.

Before pursuing music full-time, Bryan spent over four years working as a pipe welder, living the blue-collar life that now informs his music. Raised in a musical household, with his band teacher father and his mother who teaches choir, he grew up immersed in music from his early days. His current work brings those two worlds together, channeling his upbringing to create songs grounded in standing up for what’s right. That philosophy has resonated far beyond country music, helping him build an audience of more than 3.8 million TikTok followers and 1.4 million Instagram followers.

Country Radio Broadcasters (CRB) has revealed that legendary broadcaster and industry leader Lon Helton will receive the 2026 CRB President’s Award.

The CRB President’s Award honors individuals whose dedication and leadership have helped shape the Country Radio Seminar (CRS) and its mission to support and grow country radio.

“Few people in this industry have given more to country radio than Lon Helton,” shares CRB/CRS Board President Kurt Johnson. “This recognition has never been more earned, or more obvious. Presenting this award to Lon is one of the privileges of my career.”

For more than 50 years, Helton has been one of country radio’s most respected voices as a broadcaster, journalist, mentor and industry leader. His career began in Illinois before taking him to major radio stations in Denver, Chicago, and Los Angeles. Since 1984, he has hosted nationally syndicated country radio programs, including Country Countdown USA, which he launched in 1992 and continues to host today. He has also hosted Country Close-Up, Nashville Live, Listen-In, Country Star Tracks, and more than 100 world-premiere album broadcasts.

Helton has also made a lasting impact as a journalist. He became Country Editor at Radio & Records in 1983 and launched Country Aircheck in 2006, which remains a trusted resource for country radio and the music industry.

A longtime supporter of CRS, Helton has helped bring together broadcasters, artists, record labels,and industry leaders while mentoring generations of radio professionals. His dedication to the format has earned him widespread respect throughout the industry.

Helton was inducted into the Country Radio Hall of Fame in 2006 and the Radio Hall of Fame in 2022. He is the most awarded national radio personality in CMA history, earning 13 National Broadcast Personality of the Year honors, along with five ACM National On-Air Personality of the Year awards. His many other honors include the St. Jude Angels Among Us Award, the Bob Kingsley Living Legend Award, the CRB Humanitarian Award and CMA’s J. William Denny Award.

In addition to his broadcasting career, Helton has served in leadership roles throughout the country music industry, including as CMA President and Chairman from 1999 to 2002. He has also served on the boards of the Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum, the Country Music Foundation, the St. Jude Country Radio Advisory Council and the Country Music Retirement Community.

The 2026 CRB President’s Award will be presented during the Country Radio Hall of Fame ceremony on Monday, Aug. 3, at Virgin Hotels Nashville. The event will also honor the Country Radio Hall of Fame Class of 2026.

Garth Brooks has revealed he’s returning to arenas on the new “Blame It All On My Roots Tour” beginning Aug. 21-22.

The announcement comes 30 years after Brooks launched what would become the largest concert tour on the planet. The album captured from those nights became Double Live, the biggest-selling live album in history, now certified 25 million by the RIAA. That same groundbreaking tour delivered back-to-back CMA Entertainer of the Year Awards and two Artist of the Decade honors for the superstar, and 30 years later, he’s returning to those giant stages.

The tour kicks off with back-to-back nights in Indianapolis at Gainbridge Fieldhouse on Aug. 21-22. General on-sale begins July 17 here. The show features both end-stage and in-the-round seating, and there are no pre-sales or advance box office sales, with all tickets going on sale simultaneously. There is an eight-ticket limit per purchase.

“Going back into the arenas is about putting the stadium show in a box,” says Brooks. “The excitement gets multiplied by the intimacy. Every seat is a great seat. This is personal.”

The “Blame It All On My Roots Tour” will also serve as the foundation for Killer Live, a new approach to live recording that continues Brooks’s tradition of capturing history in real time. He will bring every hit he has ever made back to the rooms where it all started with the new live project.

Brooks is the biggest selling artist in U.S. history as the first and only artist to pass 200M albums sold. He is also the first and only artist to receive ten RIAA Diamond Awards for 10 albums certified at over 10 million. According to the RIAA, Double Live is the biggest-selling live album and the top-selling country album in the U.S. Double Live, No Fences, Ropin’ the Wind, and Triple Live are four of the top five best-selling country albums of all time. Brooks has charted 20 Billboard No. 1 singles, and was the first artist to garner top-5 singles at country radio in five consecutive decades – the ‘80s, ‘90s, ‘00s, ‘10s, and ‘20s.
