After hitting the road as part of Brantley Gilbertâs The Devil Donât Sleep Tour in 2017 and Jason Aleanâs High Noon Neon Tour in 2018, Luke Combs will embark on his first headlining arena tour in 2019.
Lukeâs Beer Never Broke My Heart Tour will kick off on Jan. 31 in Birmingham, Ala., with more than 25 stops through May 12. As Luke told Kix Brooks of American Country Countdown, headlining his first arena tour is âgonna be a big changeâ from supporting artists like Jason or Brantley.
âItâs different than anything that weâve ever done,â says Luke. âYou know, weâve played the arenas, and I compared it to . . . I guess, itâs kind of like playing baseball where if we were up to bat and if we missed or struck out, you know, we had a Brantley Gilbert or a Jason Aldean over the last couple of years to come in and bat cleanup for us if we couldnât get it done. We donât have that luxury coming up, so I think itâs gonna be a big change. Weâre adding a lot of guys to our crew. Weâre adding a keyboard player to the band, which will be really interesting. Weâre gonna have all the staging and all that crazy stuff, so Iâm anxious to see how that turns out, and I think itâll be really great.â
Lanco and Jameson Rodgers will serve as support on Lukeâs tour.
