The country superstar is set to perform at Bank of America Stadium on Saturday, July 16 at 7:00 p.m. This show will be his first time in Charlotte in 24 years.

Over 70,000 fans purchased tickets for the anticipated 2020 performance. Brooks will perform all of his iconic hits, including "The Dance," "Friends In Low Places," and "Callin' Baton Rouge." 

While Garth is on a stadium tour this year, he says one day he hopes to do a dive bar tour across the country. 

One of the most important stops? Charlotte's legendary, and we mean legendary, Thirsty Beaver Saloon. The Plaza Midwood honky tonk went viral last year when Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger posed for a photo while somehow blending in with the crowd. 

"First of all, I just need a t-shirt that says The Thirsty Beaver on it, that's awesome," Brooks said on Wake Up Charlotte To go. "Yes, count me in!"
