On Tuesday, Circuit of the Americas revealed the headlining musical acts for the October race weekend. Country music legend Garth Brooks will take the stage on Saturday, Oct. 18. Friday’s headliner, Oct. 17, will be Norwegian DJ Kygo, while Oklahoma-based “red dirt” country group Turnpike Troubadours will close out the weekend with a Sunday night performance on Oct. 19, following the Grand Prix.
Brooks, a longtime fan favorite, has become an increasingly rare live act. After rising to fame in the late ’80s and ’90s with chart-topping hits and record-breaking tours, he went on to become the only artist in history with nine albums certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). He remains the best-selling solo artist in U.S. history, according to the RIAA.
Although Brooks stepped back from performing in the early 2000s, he returned in 2005 for select shows and short-term residencies. His Austin performance marks his only scheduled live appearance for the remainder of 2025.
Kygo gained international fame in the mid-2010s, becoming the fastest artist to reach 1 billion streams on Spotify in 2015—and hitting 2 billion the following year. The Turnpike Troubadours have built a devoted following in the red dirt, Americana, and country rock scenes.
