Some artists make resolutions. Garth Brooks makes moves.

"I'm an artist, I HAVE to make music," Garth said. "And I'm an entertainer, so I HAVE to take the music to the people."

The year is already coming into focus with two major shows announced at Milwaukee’s American Family Insurance Amphitheater, bringing Garth back to Summerfest on June 16 and 17, 2026. It’s a long-awaited return to Milwaukee — and a clear signal that the road is calling again.
