Country singer Garth Brooks is set to perform in Kansas City at the Sprint Center on

November 14, 2007.

After a total of seven years the country singer is set to perform at a "one night performance" in Kansas City. In a recent interview Brooks released a statement on why he selected the particular venue and city for his performance "Several months ago, we'd announced that we would perform a thank-you concert for our friends at Wal-Mart. They suggested either Fayetteville Arkansas or Kansas City."

In August Garth Brooks announced the release of a new box set called 'The Ultimate Hits.' The package included 30 hits and four new songs, and will be released in Wal-Mart stores on November 6, 2007.



The album's first single entitled 'More Than a Memory', was released on September 4, 2007. Other new songs will include a duet with Huey Lewis, 'Midnight Sun,' and more.



break from his live-performance "retirement" to perform a special one-off concert in November at Kansas City, MO's new Sprint Center.
Tickets for the Nov. 14 show will go on sale Saturday (10/6) at 10 a.m. CDT, and sales will be restricted to residents of Missouri and Kansas, as well as portions of Iowa, Nebraska and Oklahoma. The $25 tickets can be purchased online, as well as in person at Missouri and Kansas Ticketmaster outlets. (Ticketmaster is LiveDaily's parent company.)

According to a press release, the show is Brooks' way of expressing his gratitude to Wal-Mart, with whom he recently inked a two-year marketing deal. Brooks' next release, the three-disc best-of "The Ultimate Hits," will be sold only at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club outlets. The set is due in Wal-Mart's stores Nov. 6.

"Several months ago, we'd announced that we would perform a thank-you concert for our friends at Wal-Mart," the country singer said in a press statement. "They suggested either Fayetteville (AR) or Kansas City."

Brooks went on to thank the Kansas City venue's owner, the Anschutz Entertainment Group, which "was kind enough to help us out with this concert and offered the opening of the new Sprint Center. We were thrilled since this allowed us the opportunity to make this an even bigger party by opening up the concert to the public."

The 18,500-seat Sprint Center will officially open to the public with an Oct. 13 Elton John concert.

Brooks, who retired from touring in 2001 to spend more time with his family, admitted recently that he was nervous about returning to the road after such a long layoff.

"I'm scared to death because, I mean if you've ever stood outside a race track, and try to figure out how in the world do you ever get up to that speed without getting run over, that's where I'm at," the singer said at a Nashville press conference in August announcing the release of a new three-disc best-of set, "The Ultimate Hits."

Brooks is the fastest-selling solo artist in music history, moving more than 100 million albums in 10 years, according to his website.

After Capitol Records honored him for hitting the 100 million mark in October 2000, Brooks broke the news that he would record his final record for the label and then give up touring to be a stay-at-home dad.

His final album for Capitol, "Scarecrow," surfaced in November 2001 and marked his seventh No. 1 debut on The Billboard 200.
