Introduction
**35 YEARS LATER, BROOKS & DUNN ARE STILL FILLING ARENAS. 🤠🎶**
On September 12, 2026, Brooks & Dunn sold out Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena — more than three decades after “Brand New Man” first launched their incredible career.
Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn opened the night with that same iconic song before taking fans through country classics like “My Maria,” “Red Dirt Road,” “Neon Moon” and “Play Something Country.” Nashville became the third straight sold-out opening show of their fall Neon Moon Tour.
But this isn’t just nostalgia.
Their music is reaching a whole new generation through *Reboot* and *Reboot II*, with artists like Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson, Morgan Wallen, Jelly Roll and Megan Moroney helping introduce those timeless songs to younger fans.
And the recognition keeps coming. Just two days after the Nashville sellout, the CMA announced that Brooks & Dunn will receive the **Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award** in November.
More than 35 years after “Brand New Man,” the story is still being written.
**The songs never left. The fans never left. And Nashville still wants Brooks & Dunn. ❤️**
