LUKE COMBS CONFIRMS TWO SHOWS AT THE GORGE AMPHITHEATRE ON OCTOBER 4 AND 5 

Story: Ralph Greco, Jr.

Country superstar Luke Combs will perform back-to-back shows at Washington State’s legendary Gorge Amphitheatre on Friday, October 4 and Saturday, October 5.

Tickets for the shows, which will feature special guests Parker McCollum, Wyatt Flores and Ray Fulcher, will be available for pre-sale starting this Wednesday, July 10 at 12:00pm PT with general on-sale following this Friday, July 12 at 10:00am PT. Combs’ official fan club, The Bootleggers, will once again have early access to tickets through fan pre-sale starting Wednesday, July 10 at 10:00am PT.

Combs wants to give fans, not scalpers, the best chance to buy tickets at face value. To make this possible, he’s chosen to use Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange. Fans who purchase tickets for the Gorge Amphitheatre shows but can’t attend will have the option to resell them to other fans at the original price paid. To help protect the Exchange, Luke Combs has requested all tickets be mobile only and restricted from transfer. Please note, a valid U.S. bank account or debit card is required to sell on the Face Value Exchange.

Ahead of the new dates, Combs will continue his “Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old” stadium tour through this summer, including back-to-back shows at East Rutherford’s MetLife Stadium, Houston’s NRG Stadium and Cincinnati’s Paycor Stadium among others. Of his recent show at Salt Lake City’s Rice-Eccles Stadium, Under the Radar praises, “a stunning performance that further cemented his status as one of the genre’s biggest success stories of the modern era.” See below for complete itinerary.

The upcoming performances add to yet another landmark year for Combs, who released his new album, Fathers & Sons, last month on Columbia Nashville (stream/purchase here). A collection of 12 poignant tracks, Fathers & Sons was recorded entirely live and features Combs most personal songwriting to date, as he reflects on his own experiences being a dad to his two sons and the unique bond between parents and their children. In celebration of the release, Combs was featured on “CBS Sunday Morning” on Father’s Day speaking with correspondent Kelefa Sanneh.

Critical acclaim for Fathers & Sons:

 “he’s going beyond the country realm now and really has become a pop star, a global popstar”—NPR Music

“filled with unexpected warmth and vulnerability…a perfect match for Mr. Combs’s warm and engaging style”—The Wall Street Journal

“emotional and heartfelt”—Billboard

 “Combs has the songwriting muscle to deliver a gut-wrenching punch—and his latest set might be the biggest heart-tugger yet”—Grammy.com

 “some of the most personal and vulnerable songwriting Luke Combs has ever shared…it may be his strongest outing to date.”—American Songwriter

“Luke Combs’s fatherhood era may just be his best era yet”—Country Living

“incredibly nuanced and intricate…so well done and beautifully presented from the writing, production, and of course, his pure country vocals”—Whiskey Riff

“Fathers & Sons is nothing short of a songwriting masterclass”—All Country News 

“masterfully crafted prose”—Country Central

“a masterful collection that reaffirms Luke Combs’ place as a storyteller capable of capturing the universal and deeply personal aspects of life and family”
—Entertainment Focus

“The whole project is emotionally awesome. There is a reason why this man is a country superstar.”—Music Row

“Combs’ most vulnerable to date…Fathers & Sons is personal and authentic; it’s beautiful.”
—RIFF Magazine

Additionally, Combs released his new radio single, “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma,” earlier this spring which will be featured on the soundtrack for the new Twisters movie (out July 19) and is the subject of a new exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum opening July 11. The exhibit, entitled Luke Combs: The Man I Am, will feature a variety of photographs, childhood memorabilia, instruments, set lists and more from throughout Combs’ life and career. A Grand Ole Opry-member and 11x CMA, 4x ACM and 6x Billboard Music Award-winner, Combs has also partnered with Opry Entertainment Group to open a massive multi-level entertainment complex in downtown Nashville later this summer.

Earlier this year, Combs performed an unforgettable duet of “Fast Car” with Tracy Chapman during the 66th Annual GRAMMY Awards, which Rolling Stone called “one of the all-time best collaborative performances in Grammy history.” The performance added to a massive year for “Fast Car,” as Combs’ version of the song won Single of the Year at the 2024 ACM Awards and 2023 CMA Awards (with Chapman winning Song of the Year). It also spent five-consecutive weeks atop Billboard’s Country Airplay chart and reached #1 on the Hot AC chart, the first song by a male solo artist to ever top both. The 2x Platinum single, which has garnered over 1.1 billion global streams to date, also spent eighteen weeks in the top 5 of Billboard’s all-genre Hot 100 chart, eight of which were spent at #2.
