Earlier this year, Brooks headlined London's Big Summer Time at Hyde Park, an event noted as the largest in BST history. During that performance, he delivered 19 songs, including fan favorites such as "The Dance," "The Thunder Rolls," "Unanswered Prayers," "If Tomorrow Never Comes," and "Friends in Low Places." He also performed covers of songs by artists like Billy Joel, the Isley Brothers, Bob Seger, Eric Clapton, and The Oak Ridge Boys. A review from The Guardian noted an emotional moment during his solo performance of "Unanswered Prayers," where Brooks appeared moved by the crowd's participation.
