Luke Combs Launches 2026 Stadium Tour, Breaking Records and Crossing Borders
There’s a certain electricity that hums through country music these days, and its source, in no small part, is Luke Combs. The North Carolina-born superstar isn’t just booking gigs—he’s rewriting the playbook for what a country tour can look like in 2026. With the announcement of his ‘My Kinda Saturday Night Tour,’ Combs is gearing up for a global stadium sweep, bringing his signature blend of heartfelt lyrics and roaring crowds to new heights.
From Green Bay to Europe: A Tour of Epic Proportions
The Green Bay Packers, in a move that bridges sports and music, will host Combs at Lambeau Field on May 16, 2026—a first for the singer at this storied venue (Packers.com). This show is just one stop in a sprawling lineup that spans North America and Europe, with other stadium dates including Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, Iowa (April 11), Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee (May 2), and Wembley Stadium in London (August 1). Each performance is set to be a spectacle, with special guests like Dierks Bentley, Ty Myers, Jake Worthington, Thelma & James, and more joining Combs on stage.
It’s not just the scale that’s impressive; it’s the speed at which tickets are expected to vanish. Combs’ fan club, The Bootleggers, gets first dibs via a presale, followed by early access for venue partners and season ticket holders, before the general public can try their luck. The anticipation, fueled by Combs’ reputation for selling out arenas in minutes, is palpable among fans in Wisconsin, Iowa, Tennessee, and beyond.
Milestones That Reshape Country Music
Luke Combs’ career reads like a series of firsts and record-breakers. In 2025, he surpassed Garth Brooks as the highest RIAA-certified country artist, with a staggering 168 million units sold (CountryCentral). He’s the only country star to headline both Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza, and this year he’ll add Austin City Limits Music Festival to that list. His single “Back in the Saddle” is climbing the charts, while “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma” marks his 19th consecutive #1—a streak unmatched in the genre’s history.
Combs isn’t just a radio powerhouse; he’s a streaming phenomenon. He holds the unique distinction of being the first country artist with two songs earning over a billion Spotify streams and four RIAA Diamond singles. The release of his three-track EP, ‘The Prequel,’ featuring “My Kinda Saturday Night,” “15 Minutes,” and “Days Like These,” has only intensified the buzz ahead of the tour.
Collaboration, Community, and Giving Back
Behind the numbers is a story of connection. Combs’ collaborations this year span genres and generations—from duets with Post Malone and Tracy Chapman, to benefit concerts with Eric Church and James Taylor. His work with the Opry Entertainment Group led to the opening of Category 10, a multi-level entertainment complex in Nashville, further cementing his commitment to the music community.
In 2024, Combs helped raise over $24.5 million for Hurricane Helene relief at the “Concert for Carolina,” underscoring his dedication to using his platform for good. Industry accolades have followed: he’s a Grand Ole Opry member, an 11-time CMA winner, and the subject of a new exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum.
What Sets This Tour Apart?
What makes the ‘My Kinda Saturday Night Tour’ so anticipated? For starters, it’s the blend of tradition and innovation. Combs draws on classic country themes—family, resilience, love—while pushing the boundaries of what a live show can be. His latest album, ‘Fathers & Sons,’ dives deep into his own journey as a parent, offering fans a more personal side of his artistry. NPR Music described it best: “He’s going beyond the country realm now and really has become a pop star, a global pop star.”
On stage, Combs is known for his electric energy and authenticity. Whether he’s performing a stripped-down ballad or leading thousands in a singalong, the atmosphere is one of genuine connection. With stadiums as the new backdrop, the scale of these moments is set to grow exponentially.
How to Be Part of the Experience
Fans eager to join the tour can sign up for The Bootleggers fan club at LukeCombs.com for early ticket access. The presale schedule kicks off October 14, with general sales opening October 17. For many, it’s more than just a concert—it’s a chance to witness a defining moment in country music history.
As Combs said in a recent press release: “This year has been awesome. We’ve gotten to play some of the most iconic festivals in the world and promote country music in ways that it normally isn’t. That said, while the festivals are awesome, there’s nothing like a headline show on a full tour with all of my fans. It’s hard to beat! I can’t wait for March 2026 for the ‘My Kinda Saturday Night Tour.’ We’re going to 8 different countries, bringing along a ton of great support, and by then will have a lot of new music to play.”
The anticipation, the lineup, the milestones—everything points toward a tour that will not just entertain but define an era.
Luke Combs’ upcoming tour isn’t just another series of concerts; it’s a reflection of how one artist’s vision and reach can transform the landscape of country music. By bridging tradition and innovation, Combs sets a new standard—not just for stadium tours, but for what it means to build community through music.
