We know the best artist who can deliver and that is Garth Brooks."
"I'm thrilled to be back in Atlanta and honored to play the first concert in Mercedes-Benz Stadium," says Brooks. "I've visited the stadium twice in the last month and all I can say is - the fans are going to love it; it's truly one-of-a-kind. We're going to create a special experience the fans will never forget and I can't wait to light that place up this fall!"
