Luke Combs Announces 2023 World Tour with Opening Acts Lainey Wilson, Riley Green and Cody Johnson

Also featuring Flatland Cavalry, Brent Cobb and Lane Pittman as special guests, Luke Combs' 2023 world tour will span 35 shows in 16 countries on three different continents

Luke Combs ' travel plans for 2023 are locked in.

On Thursday, the "Forever After All" singer-songwriter, 32, announced the dates and opening acts for his upcoming 2023 world tour, which will see him perform 35 shows in 16 countries on three different continents, via Instagram .

The tour kicks off on March 25 in Arlington, Texas, and Combs will perform shows in cities including Nashville, Detroit and Chicago before concluding the U.S. leg with a show in Philadelphia on July 29. He'll then play a string of concerts across Oceania through the end of August.

At the end of September, Combs will launch a European leg of concerts, followed by several UK dates before the tour wraps in late October.

Riley Green, Lainey Wilson , Flatland Cavalry and Brent Cobb will join Combs as supporting acts for the U.S. leg of the tour, while Cody Johnson and Lane Pittman will open shows in New Zealand and Australia.

"Buddy… @lukecombs , you best not get tired of me!" quipped Wilson, 30, in an Instagram post about the tour.

Fans can visit Combs' website and join his club for information on pre-sales for the upcoming tour, while tickets go on sale for the public on Sept. 16.

Combs is currently on the road, performing shows in North America before concluding his current tour dates in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on Dec. 9 and 10 — giving the musician just over three months of rest and relaxation before he sets out to travel the globe.

Last weekend, the country star made headlines for going the extra mile to help fans out when he gave a pair of young concertgoers cash to cover the cost of their tickets after discovering 12-year-old Bo Fenderson and Tanner Hale spent 10 hours stacking wood in order to make money to purchase the tickets for last Friday's show in Bangor, Maine.

While performing, Combs spotted a the boys holding a sign and read about their journey aloud from the stage, according to local NBC affiliate WCSH . At that point, he opened up his wallet and gave the pair $140 to help cover the ticket costs.

"How much were you tickets? $100? $200? Y'all paid $200, a hundred dollars apiece. Oh my God, I only got $140 right here," the singer said, according to CBS affiliate WABI . "Y'all want that, pay yourselves back. I'll get you some more."

Earlier this week, before starting his Saturday night concert at Maine Savings Amphitheater, Combs told concertgoers that he refunded everyone's tickets and would play for free due to vocal issues.

"I have to let you know that I have refunded all of your tickets. As of 7 p.m. today, a few hours ago, I realized that I was not going to be able to sing as good as I normally do," he said in a surprising announcement that was captured on video by numerous fans.

"[My voice is not] what I think it should be for you guys having to pay for it," he continued , adding: "So, we're going to put on the best free show we could put on, and I want you guys to know how upset I am to have to tell you that tonight, but all I want you to know is that we're going to do the very damn best."

Luke Combs Announces 16-Country 2023 World Tour Featuring Cody Johnson, Riley Green, Lainey Wilson & More

It’s difficult to definitively say who the biggest act in country music is, but for my money, you probably gotta say it’s Luke Combs.

And he’s going even bigger.

Announced today, Luke Combs will be embarking on a monster 16-country world tour that will take him to stadiums across the States, up into Canada, across the pond into Europe and down under to Australia and New Zealand.

Featuring support from Riley Green, Flatland Cavalry, Lainey Wilson and Brent Cobb, as well as Cody Johnson and Lane Pittman, it’s guaranteed to be one of the best shows you’ll see all year.

Tickers go on sale next Friday, September 16th:

With 13 consecutive #1’s under his belt, and seeing that he’s the biggest thing in mainstream country music right now, I’d say it’s high time he take that Luke Combs magic across the pond and down to Australia.

He has been to Europe to perform before (and recently headlined C2C fest ), but this would be the first world tour for the North Carolina native on this scale.

He just kicked off his fall Middle Of Somewhere Tour   here in the continental U.S. this past weekend, and released his third studio album, Growin’ Up , in June.

At a show in Maine, he notably refunded the entire crowd at the concert due to a vocal issue and still performed, in addition to paying back two young boys who stacked firewood to buy their tickets to the show and even inviting them backstage afterwards the night before.

What a guy…

He’s also heading to Canada this fall with Riley Green and Chayce Beckham, and if he’ll be stopping by a country near you in the next several months (or even in 2023), it’s not something you’re gonna want to miss.

The man puts on a helluva live show , that’s for sure.

His current single at country radio is the steamy “The Kind of Love We Make”:

Special guests for the new dates include Lainey Wilson, Turnpike Troubadours, The Avett Brothers, Gary Allan, Old Crow Medicine Show, David Lee Murphy and Brent Cobb.  

LATEST NEWS

The newly confirmed dates add to the massive success of Combs’ World Tour, which has sold over 570,500 tickets across just 11 stadium shows so far, with the majority of the tour still to come. With 44 shows across 3 continents and 16 countries, the tour is the largest ever for a country artist, earning Combs the #1 spot on Pollstar’s LIVE75 chart, where he has more than doubled all other charting artists.

Of the added shows, Combs shares, “After we got to play two shows in Nashville, I decided I wanted to play more shows for the fans, so I got with my team and the stadiums and luckily all of the July dates lined up for us, so we decide to just do it! I’m really excited to be able to bring more music to more fans.” 

Tickets for the new dates will be available for pre-sale starting this Thursday, June 8 at 12:00pm local time through Ticketmaster Verified Fan, with general on-sale following Friday, June 9 at 10:00am local time. Combs’ official fan club, The Bootleggers, will once again have early access to tickets through Ticketmaster Verified Fan pre-sale starting Thursday, June 8 at 10:00am local time.

The tour adds to yet another monumental year for Combs, who released his new album, Gettin’ Old—a companion to his acclaimed 2022 record, Growin’ Up—earlier this spring via River House Artists/Columbia Nashville (stream/purchase here).

Receiving critical acclaim, Combs recently spoke with Esquire, who calls him “the best country singer of his generation.” Additionally, The New York Times proclaims, “…grounded in country, complete with fiddle fills, but it’s also pointed toward a wide pop audience” and Billboard declares, “his electrifying-yet-earthy voice soundtracking this time in his life as a husband, father and entertainer at the top of his game.”

Produced by Combs, Chip Matthews and Jonathan Singleton, Gettin’ Old is Combs’ fourth full-length album following Growin’ Up, 2019’s 3x Platinum What You See is What You Get and his 4x Platinum debut, This One’s For You. 

With the new album, Combs also continues his success at radio. His new version of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car,” which has garnered over 111 million global streams to date, is currently #10 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart, #21 on the AC chart, #19 on the Hot AC chart and #33 on the Top 40 chart, continuing to rise on all. This is Combs’ first single outside the country genre. 

Additionally, Combs recently made history earning the #1 and #2 most-added songs at country radio (“Love You Anyway” and “5 Leaf Clover” respectively), setting a modern-era record on the MediaBase, Country Aircheck and R&R charts. “Love You Anyway”—which is currently #15 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart and rising—follows “Going, Going, Gone,” Combs’ 15th consecutive #1 single—the longest consecutive #1 streak for an artist since their debut. 

Moreover, Combs recently debuted his new collaboration with Ed Sheeran, “Life Goes On (featuring Luke Combs), during the 2023 ACM Awards, of which Billboard praises, “The unlikely duo’s voices blended seamlessly…with Combs’ raspy tone complementing Sheeran’s famously smooth vocal range.” A Grand Ole Opry-member and 8x CMA, 3x ACM, 3x Billboard Music Award-winner, Combs has also partnered with Opry Entertainment Group to open a massive multi-level entertainment complex in downtown Nashville, expected to open summer 2024.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Luke Combs will embark on a stadium tour for a third-straight year in 2024.

The country music superstar announced his "Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old Tour" will visit 13 cities for 25 concerts next summer.

The 2024 tour will feature stadium shows in Milwaukee, Buffalo, University Park, Jacksonville, San Antonio, Santa Clara, Phoenix, Salt Lake City, Los Angeles, New Jersey, Maryland, Cincinnati, and Houston.

Combs will use a Ticketmaster verified fan registration process , similar to what Taylor Swift used, to allow first access to presale tickets. Registration is open through Saturday, Aug. 19, at 11 p.m. MT.

"When I found out we were going to be able to do two shows for most all of the cities on the 2024 tour, I decided I wanted each show to have their own unique set up of openers, as well as my own setlist," Combs said. "I thought this would give people an opportunity to come to both nights if they want, but see two completely different shows. I can’t wait to see y’all on the road next year!"

Opening acts on various dates will include Cody Jinks, The Avett Brothers, Charles Wesley Godwin, Hailey Whitters and The Wilder Blue, Jordan Davis, Mitchell Tenpenny, Drew Parker and Colby Acuff.

Thanks for contacting us. We've received your submission.

Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” duet partner has had quite a busy 2024.

In addition to singing with Chapman at the Grammys, Luke Combs released a new album in June and is currently midway through his nationwide ‘Growin’ Up And Gettin’ Old Tour.’

The unconventional trek, which will see him perform back-to-back shows at stadiums all over the country, includes a pair of gigs at East Rutherford, NJ’s MetLife Stadium on Friday, July 19 and Saturday, July 20.

“I wanted each show to have (its) own unique set up of openers, as well as my own unique setlist,” Combs shared in a statement after announcing the tour in August 2023.

“I thought this would give people an opportunity to come to both nights if they want, but see two completely different shows.”

On Friday nights, special guests like  The Avett Brothers ,  Cody Jinks ,  Charles Wesley Godwin , Hailey Whitters and  The Wilder Blue will join him.

Jordan Davis ,  Mitchell Tenpenny ,  Drew Parker  and  Colby Acuff are his rotating Saturday night opening acts.

“…I wanted to open up my stage to acts that lean into Outlaw, Americana and Red Dirt on Friday nights, (and have) a night with (performers) who are more contemporary country (on Saturdays),” he added.

As of now, tickets are available for all remaining ‘Growin’ Up And Gettin’ Old’ concerts.

At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on any single-day tickets was $47 before fees on Vivid Seats.

Two-day passes start at $100 before fees .

Curious how much it will cost to see Combs at the concert venue closest to you?

You’re in the right place, Bootleggers.

We’ve got everything you need to know and more about Luke Combs’ 2024 ‘Growin’ Up And Gettin’ Old Tour’ below.

Luke Combs 2024 festival appearances

Combs isn’t just touring and recording new music this year.

He’s somehow also found the time to headline at a handful of music festivals (and even curate the Bootleggers Bonfire to boot) these next few months. To make sure you’re in the loop, here are all the details you need about each upcoming Combs fest:

Luke Combs set list

As you may have noticed above, Combs is playing two shows in every city he’s visiting on tour.

To see what he performs on night one of the tour versus night two, check out the 34-year-old’s Set List FM for a closer look.

Luke Combs new music

On June 14, Combs dropped his fifth album “Fathers & Sons.”

The weepy 12-track record is a sentimental ode to father-son relationships filled with emotional songs like the sticky sweet “Front Door Famous” and ominous “In Case I Ain’t Around.”

For our money, the standout is when Combs gets heavy on the plaintive “All I Ever Do Is Leave,” a simple yet effective ode to the toll his life as a touring artist takes on him.

That being said, don’t expect any major surprises here; just solid, thoughtful country singalongs that may make you tear up, whether you’re a father, son, mother or daughter.

If you want a good cry, you can listen to Combs’ “Fathers & Sons” in its entirety here .

Luke Combs special guests

At all shows, fans will be treated to a special guest or three.

For those who aren’t familiar with all of them — there are quite a few — here’s each of Combs’ opening act artist’s most streamed track on Spotify:

Friday night opening acts

The Avett Brothers: “I And Love And You”

Cody Jinks: “Loud and Heavy”

Charles Wesley Godwin: “Jamie”

Hailey Whitters: “Everything She Ain’t”

The Wilder Blue: “Palomino Gold”

Saturday night opening acts

Jordan Davis: “Buy Dirt”

Mitchell Tenpenny: “Drunk Me”

Drew Parker: “While You’re Gone”

Colby Acuff: “If I Were The Devil”

Competing for best female sports star are Alex Morgan, Caitlin Clark, Coco Gauff, Sha'Carri Richardson, Simone Biles, and Venus Williams. Serena Williams will receive a Legend Award during the ceremony.

Luke Combs on His ‘The Man I Am’ Country Music Hall of Fame Exhibit: 5 Essential Items

Luke Combs opens up about his new exhibit at Nashville's Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, which opens July 11.

On Wednesday (July 10), Luke Combs celebrated the opening of his new Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum exhibit, Luke Combs: The Man I Am.

The exhibit opens July 11 and runs through June 2025, and is included with museum admission. The exhibit chronicles North Carolina native Combs’s life and career, from growing up in a small-town community to his current status as a two-time Country Music Association entertainer of the year winner and one of country music’s foremost hitmakers.

The exhibit traces some of Combs’s earliest musical moments, such as seeing a Vince Gill concert with his mother and grandmother, his early musical performances in school choirs and musicals, and Combs’ decision to practice guitar while studying criminal justice at Appalachian State University. He began posting cover versions of country and R&B hits, as well as his original music, on platforms including YouTube and Vine.

Combs moved to Nashville in September 2014, at age 24. But he also steadily continued building his audience one concert at a time. He released a few independent EPs, with his song “Hurricane” swiftly connecting with fans.

In 2017, “Hurricane” became Combs’s first No. 1 on Billboard ‘s Hot Country Songs chart and marked a gale-force signaling of a star on the rise–one with a formidable combination of top-shelf songcraft, a humble, hard-working, everyman persona and what would quickly become one of country music’s most distinctive voices.

Two years later, Combs became the first artist to top Billboard ‘s Country Airplay chart with his first five singles — and went on to extend that lead to 13 consecutive chart-toppers (he has now seen 16 solo songs reach the pinnacle of the Country Airplay chart). In 2019, he also ascended to headlining arenas and amphitheaters, then rose to stadium headlining status. His sold-out 2023 world tour not only traversed North America, but displayed his music’s global-spanning reach, as he also headlined in Europe, Australia and New Zealand.

He’s also earned three top 10 hits on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 , including 2020’s “Forever After All” and 2022’s “The Kind of Love We Make.” Last year, he earned a No. 2 hit on the Hot 100 (and a five-week Country Airplay chart-topper) with a rendition of Tracy Chapman’s 1988 hit “Fast Car.” The two singer-songwriters would create one of the Grammys’ most talked-about moments of the decade when they joined forces to perform “Fast Car” together in February. The song also earned a Grammy nomination for best country solo performance, and was named single of the year at both the Academy of Country Music Awards and Country Music Association Awards.

Combs’s The Man I Am exhibit displays stage clothes, photographs, childhood memorabilia, manuscripts and set lists from his life and career, but also highlights a key relationship that has sparked and sustained the chart-topping albums, sold-out tours and surging global acclaim: his solid relationship with his fans.

“I’m so excited for the fans to finally see this exhibit,” Combs tells Billboard via email. “The Country Music Hall of Fame has put in a lot of time and effort, and I think it turned out really great. Still crazy to think my things and career need an exhibit, but the fans have made that happen, so this is for them and I hope they enjoy it.”

Below, Combs tells Billboard about five items that highlight his new exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.

An Audio Cassette of Tracy Chapman’s 1988 Self-Titled Album

“Man, this means a whole lot to me, because it takes me back to days of being a kid and hanging out with my dad,” Combs says. “Kind of like I do now with [sons] Tex and Beau. I hope they have something from their childhood that brings back good memories like this does for me. And it’s also the beginning of my love for ‘Fast Car’ and Tracy’s music as a whole, so it’s special.”

Featured in the collection is a dollar bill that Combs has kept as a memento from his first paying gig at Boone’s Parthenon Café in Boone, North Carolina, where the cover charge was $1.

“This was the moment I believed I could do this for a living,” Combs says. “I know it was only a dollar per person, but people were willing to pay to hear me play music. It gave me the confidence I needed.”

Crosley Dansette Portable Record Player

Combs kept this record player, which has sentimental value for Combs and his wife Nicole. The couple wed in 2020.

“[I] still remember the moment I first played Nicole ‘Beautiful Crazy’ like it was yesterday,” Combs said. “I was definitely unsure what she would think, so I was pretty nervous. Thankfully she liked it, and now that’s a memory that means a lot to both of us — so it’s cool to still have the record player.”

A CD With Three Songs Recorded for Combs’s debut EP

Also included in the exhibit is a CD of the three songs Combs recorded for his debut independent EP, The Way She Rides . The CD was signed by Combs and Adam Church and given to Church’s parents. On the paper sleeve, Combs wrote, “To the Church’s/ Y’all rock SO hard!”

“Crazy to think about this, since music distribution has changed so much over the past 10 years,” Combs said. “My kids may not even grow up really knowing what a CD is, but this is how I was able to share my music early on. I would give one to anyone who would take it, but the Church Family is one who means a lot to me, so I was proud to be able to give them one. They have always been huge supporters of my music.”

Handwritten lyrics to His 2022 Country Airplay Chart-Topper “Doin’ This”

“I thought it was fitting to have these here, because it’s truly a song that describes who I am,” Combs says. “I really do believe I was born for country music and I’m just forever grateful to all of the people that have given me an opportunity to be a part of the genre, one that has such a history and means a lot to me.”

As Luke Combs comes to MetLife, country crossovers keep rocking the music world

3 minute read.

Pass the cowboy hat, please. The music world is in the midst of a crossover craze bridging hip-hop and R&B with country music — and fans, for the most part, are loving it.

“I love country, so happy for her that she’s doing whatever SHE wants to do musically,” commented a fan on Beyonce’s YouTube post of her country “Texas Hold ’Em” single. “No matter what. Remove the labels and walls. Yessss!”

“Texas Hold ’Em” was a co-lead single of Beyonce’s country album, “Cowboy Carter,” which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard album and country charts when it was released in March.

Conversely, country hit makers are enlisting hip-hop and R&B talent to appear on their records, including Morgan Wallen, who had a hit with “Broadway Girls in 2021 with Lil Durk, and Luke Combs, who released the single, “Nothing Like You,” with Rod Wave last year.

Combs’ Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old Tour comes to MetLife Stadium on July 19 and 20. There will be plenty of cowboy hats in the audience, as there were last summer when Beyonce’s Renaissance World Tour played the stadium.

“I just went to the Megan Thee Stallion show at Wells Fargo Center (in Philadelphia) and there were so many girls in pink cowboy hats,” said Sean Salm, creator of the Philly-based Sad & Boujee party, which merges hip-hop and emo rock. “Megan Thee Stallion doesn't do any country songs, but her whole look and brand is country.”

In New Jersey, country music has hit the big time. Wallen played MetLife Stadium on May 17 and18, followed by George Strait with Chris Stapleton and Little Big Town on June 8. After the Luke Combs' shows on July 19 and 20, Kenny Chesney plays MetLife on Saturday, Aug. 17.

“Country has gotten bigger and bigger (in New Jersey) every year,” said DJ Big Country, aka Christopher Smith of Jersey City, in a previous interview. “I'm glad it's getting to the bigger stadiums like MetLife and Lincoln Financial in Philly. PNC (Bank Arts Center in Holmdel) was always the spot, even the Stone Pony in Asbury Park."

The walk-up music before Wallen’s recent MetLife shows included tracks by hip-hop’s Kendrick Lamar and R&B’s Rihanna.

“I think that the public has been integrated in a good way where there’s nothing wrong, so to speak, and that’s a loose term, with being a Luke Bryan fan and knowing the words to his songs and being a fan of (American rapper) Waka Flocka Flame, or whatever the case may be,” said Philadelphia deejay legend DJ Deejay , aka David Cassidy.

Lil Nas X to Beyonce

The new wave of country and R&B and hip-hop crossover started, it can be argued, when Cardi B brought Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus on stage with her at the 2019 Summer Jam at MetLife Stadium. Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” was a hit record, but Billboard removed the song from its country music chart, stating to Rolling Stone that although it “incorporates references to country and cowboy imagery, it does not embrace enough elements of today’s country music to chart in its current version.”

“We’re going to put our mother(blanking) cowboy hats on,” said Cardi B as Little Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus, who sings the chorus, came out on stage. “Where’s my mother(blanking) cowboy hat at! We got a legend coming to the stage!”

 Cardi B and her backup dancers broke into saddle shuffle dance moves while Lil Nas X roamed the stage and Cyrus crooned into his microphone.

The country crossover explosion came in March with the release of Beyonce’s “Cowboy Carter” album. The hitmaker, who’s mostly been associated with R&B to this point, had dabbled in the country genre with the song “Daddy Lessons” on the 2016 “Lemonade” album. She performed the track with the Dixie Chicks on the CMA Awards.

“The criticisms I faced when I first entered this genre forced me to propel past the limitations that were put on me,” said Beyonce of “Cowboy Carter” on social media. “(The album) is a result of challenging myself, and taking my time to bend and blend genres together to create this body of work.”

Beyonce’s conquest of the country charts seems to be opening doors. Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” followed Bey’s “Texas Hold ’Em” on the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart, marking the first time two Black artists have held the position consecutively. 

Now there seems to be weekly updates in cross-genre news. The latest is hip-hop’s Post Malone teaming with Wallen for the county rap hip “I Had Some Help.”   

“I think that one of the good things to come from the streaming era is that people listen to so many different genres of music together so artists feel free to experiment,” said Rissi Palmer, whose 2007 single “Country Girl” broke a 20-year drought for Black women appearing on the country charts. Rissi currently hosts the Color Me Country podcast.

Crossover in the digital age

County and R&B music have been at the top of the charts for decades. In 1965, music fans heard both Roger Miller’s “King of the Road” and James Brown’s “Papa's Got A Brand New Bag” on the WABC airwaves in the New York City area. The consumption of music in the digital age, where there is a greater emphasis on albums, has seemingly triggered the crossover experience.

“Once upon a time there was albums, and albums were created to be a time and a place,” DJ Deejay said. “Once you had Napster you began (to see) you saw a migration away from people being interested, and iTunes had a lot to do with this, in full albums.”

The emphasis on digital singles has broadened audiences, Salm said.   

“The crossover thing keeps things fresh and interesting, and it keeps the artists growing their brands — and it doesn’t keep them tight-casted to one audience,” Salm said. “If you want to be a pop star you have to cast a wide net.”

Some question how organic the crossover movement is.

“There’s a Black world that does not include country music,” said Leon Trent, an Asbury Park music legend who released several singles with the R&B vocal group the Broadways for MGM Records in the ’60s. “Country music became so inclusive in society because in the beginning it was nothing but white people and the Grand Ole Opry, where you didn’t have any Black people but maybe one or two, Charley Pride. The Black man with a guitar was not playing country music — he was playing soulful blues music.”

In addition to the big summer of country at MetLife, there are some outreaches of the scene in Asbury Park.

“Asbury will never claim Nashville’s title in country music, but we’ve seen lots of folk and Americana influences emerging in the Asbury scene, meshing with the local R&B,” said Joe Pomarico, founder of the city's Telegraph Hill Records and a producer and engineer for Atlantic Records, via email. “Telegraph Hill’s annual What a Wonderful Year festival has become known as a showcase for a healthy mix of genres: hip hop, R&B, folk, and that good ole rockin’ Jersey sound.”

'Bring people together'

Combs’ biggest hit so far is his cover of Tracy Chapman’s folksy 1988 song “Fast Car,” which was a hit on the pop and rock charts in 1988. Combs’ version was a 2023 hit on the country and pop charts. The two performed the song together at this year's Grammy Awards.

It’s about breaking out of restraints, Palmer said.

“I think the biggest roadblock is an artist having a fan base or label that doesn’t allow them to grow and evolve musically,” Palmer said. “It’s very easy to get locked into what makes you popular but may not necessarily feed your creativity.” 

What’s next? Salm’s crew is working on a rodeo disco night.

“It’s bringing people of all colors, religions together so people can have an absolute blast together,” said Salm of the crossover movement. “Total strangers who have never met and I think that is so important when it comes to bring people together in music.”
