Denver will be one of the first cities to experience Garth Brooks’ new ‘Halo’ video technology – What is it?

By now, you know Garth Brooks is coming to Ball Arena on Sept. 4 and 5. It has been the talk of the city since the announcement dropped. But here’s the thing about those two nights that hasn’t gotten enough attention: Denver is about to be one of the first cities in the world to experience what Brooks is calling “The Halo,” and it might be the most ambitious piece of concert technology a country artist has ever brought to Colorado.
The Halo is a 360-degree video system with both inward-facing and outward-facing screens, custom-built for the “Blame It All On My Roots Tour” and designed so that every seat in the arena — not just the floor, not just the lower bowl, but every single seat — feels like the best seat in the house. Brooks has been talking about it in the same breath as his legendary Drum Pod, the spinning, elevated percussion platform that became the defining visual of his 1996-1998 world tour and essentially changed what a live country concert could look like. The Drum Pod is back too, revamped for 2026 and sitting alongside the Halo as a bridge between the retro production that made Brooks a stadium icon and the cutting-edge tech that keeps him one.
“Country music is second to no other genre of music,” Brooks said via garthbrooks.com. “We have always claimed country music should be at the forefront of touring tech, as well. I will put the country music audience up against any other genre’s following. They are the most loyal listeners on the planet. So, when it comes to bringing those believers together for a concert, those people deserve the latest and greatest in entertainment technology.”
The demand backs it up. When Indianapolis went on sale as the tour’s first stop, the Ticketmaster queue hit nearly 400,000 people, forcing Brooks to add a third and fourth night. Denver got announced as the second city — Sept. 4 and 5, tickets on sale July 31 at 10 a.m. MT, every ticket $100 all-inclusive with no presale games. If Indianapolis is any indication, Denver listeners should have their browsers loaded and ready.
Brooks has said he’s rolling out tour cities one at a time, treating each stop as its own event rather than dumping a 40-city list. That means Denver isn’t just a date on a spreadsheet — it’s a headline. And when the Halo lights up inside Ball Arena in September, it’ll be a moment that fits a city that’s spent this entire summer proving it can hang with any entertainment market in the country.
