"As an entertainer, you get asked a lot 'what are the best cities to play?' Without hesitation, I rattle five or six of the best places to play and that list ALWAYS includes Chicago. It is the PERFECT city to launch the World Tour!" Brooks said in a news release.

Tickets ($65.50) go on sale July 25 at 10 a.m. CT at Ticketmaster.com. You won't be able to buy tickets at the venue box office or Ticketmaster outlets that day.
