Superstar Garth Brooks is returning to Nashville for a concert at the "Mother Church of Country Music."
"Just Garth, The Ryman and You" will run for two nights only at the Ryman Auditorium in downtown Nashville.
Dates are set for Nov. 19 and 20. Both shows start at 7 p.m.
Brooks has been playing smaller venues, including dive bars, lately after canceling the rest of his stadium tour back in August. He cited growing concern over the COVID-19 outbreak fueled by the delta variant.
The star later announced on his "Inside Studio G" Facebook Live series that he was planning a stop in Oklahoma City on a Dive Bar Tour for those who provide proof of a COVID-19 vaccine or a negative virus test.
"The dive bars are vaccinated, that’s how you get to do it,” Brooks said in a Facebook Live. “So, the great thing about this is, [the fans are] vaccinated or they have to show a 3-day negative in-advance test."
Additionally, Brooks said stadium tours are "officially out" for the remainder of the year.
Brooks has said he's going to watch COVID-19 data to make the best decision possible for his concerts. Brooks' team said they refunded 350,000 tickets for the canceled stadium concerts.
