On Oct. 10, Garth Brooks announced another in his "Dive Bar" concert series events. The latest is scheduled for the grand opening of his new Nashville bar and honky-tonk Friends in Low Places on Black Friday, Nov. 24 at 7 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. CT.

Brooks also announced that Amazon Music, his longtime partner for his streaming musical releases, will air the event as a Black Friday Amazon Music Live (AML) special.

Prime Video will provide free access to Brooks' concert, even to those without a Prime membership or an Amazon account.

A statement released by Brooks and Amazon Music said the Nashville event is sold out after having already earned over 3 million ticket requests from fans who have attempted to earn tickets by listening to the "The Dance" vocalist's new The BIG 615 TuneIn Radio station where Brooks stated he would award tickets to station listeners.

"Amazon Music Live and Garth Brooks are coming together for Black Friday after the game to livestream a special 'Dive Bar' concert from the grand opening of the Friends In Low Places Bar and Honky-Tonk in Nashville," said Brooks.

The statement notes that the concert will also air on Amazon's Prime Video and Twitch's Amazon Music channel, featuring Brooks debuting brand-new music from his forthcoming 14th studio album "Time Traveler," plus chart-topping hits, fan favorites and deep cuts.
