Background

On July 7, 2019, Brooks announced the Dive Bar Tour in support of his single with Blake Shelton, "Dive Bar", via Facebook Live.[1]

Despite already embarking on his Stadium Tour throughout North America, Brooks visited seven cities for the Dive Bar Tour, performing at various dive bars throughout the country. Tickets for each show were only available via contest through each city's country radio stations.[2]

In promotion of the tour and single, Brooks' Chicago performance of "Dive Bar" was aired on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.[3]

Critical response

Steve Johnson of the Chicago Tribune praised the tour, stating, "Brooks fist-pumped, finger-pointed and humbly hat-doffed his way through a honky-tonk jukebox worth of old hits, one new single (twice) and some touching homages to country legends in a show that lasted a surprisingly generous 100 minutes." He continued, "if you accept that the golden ratio in concert-going is size of talent to size of room, then this one was special, a night to get close and personal with a performer typically seen from, at best, binocular distance in a hockey arena."[3]
