April 17, 2023—Country superstar and reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year Luke Combs broke Nissan Stadium’s two-day and single-day concert attendance records this past weekend in Nashville with over 95,000. The two-day record comes as Combs added an unprecedented surprise second show on Friday, which was announced only one week prior. In recent years, Titans stadium has been home to such acts as Beyoncé, Garth Brooks, Kenny Chesney, Eric Church, Elton John, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rolling Stones, Ed Sheeran, and Taylor Swift to name a few.

Reflecting on the shows, Combs shares, “Music City…Man, when I moved here, I just wanted an opportunity to be around music in any capacity, so I never could have dreamed of a weekend like this, especially with a last-minute notice of the Friday show to the fans but they showed up…just like they always do. Nashville, thank you. I’m glad to call this home.”

Additionally, Gary Gersh, President of Global Touring and Talent at AEG shares, “This only further confirms what we have always known: Luke is a monumental talent whose voice and music continues to find a larger and larger audience. We couldn’t be prouder to be a part of such an extraordinary career.”

Furthermore, Ashlee Stokely, Tennessee Titans Vice President of Stadium Events & Experience, adds, “Nissan Stadium is ‘Nashville’s Biggest Stage,’ and we are thrilled to kick off our summer concert season with record breaking attendance at the 2023 Luke Combs tour. The energy and excitement in the stadium was electric as Luke delivered an unforgettable show in Music City.” 

With 40 shows across 3 continents and 16 countries, the record-breaking run is the largest tour ever for a country artist. The trek continues this Saturday with a sold-out show at Detroit’s Ford Field with additional upcoming sold-out shows at Chicago’s Soldier Field, Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium and Foxborough’s Gillette Stadium as well as stops in Australia, New Zealand, U.K., Ireland, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Switzerland, France and Belgium. See below for complete itinerary.

The tour further celebrates Combs’ new album, Gettin’ Old—a companion to his acclaimed 2022 record, Growin’ Up—which was released last month via River House Artists/Columbia Nashville (stream/purchase HERE). Receiving widespread critical attention, Combs recently spoke with Esquire, who calls Combs, “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,” while 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” and Music Row praises, “one of the most gripping vocalists in our genre. The themes of maturity and thoughtfulness are embedded in this beautifully crafted lyric.”

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. Across these eighteen tracks, including a rendition of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car,” the Grand Ole Opry-member and 8x CMA, 3x ACM, 3x Billboard Music Award-winner continues to establish himself as one of music’s most authentic and powerful voices in music today, as he explores themes of family, legacy, love and personal growth.

Combs also recently extended his record-breaking run at country radio with his single, “Going, Going, Gone,” which spent two weeks at #1 at country radio. This is Combs’ 15th consecutive #1 single—the longest consecutive streak for an artist since their debut—and makes Combs one of the fastest to accumulate 15 #1s, joining the ranks of Garth Brooks, Alan Jackson and Alabama. Moreover, Combs recently earned 26 new Platinum and Gold RIAA certifications and has partnered with Opry Entertainment Group to open a massive multi-level entertainment complex in downtown Nashville, which is expected to open summer 2024.
