BREAKS RECORDS WITH 2022 CANADIAN HEADLINE TOUR
NOMINATED FOR BEST COUNTRY SOLO PERFORMANCE AT 64TH GRAMMY AWARDS
November 30, 2021—Country superstar Luke Combs continues to achieve historic success with his first-ever headline stadium tour, selling out shows at Denver’s Empower Field at Mile High and Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium. The shows rank among the fastest sell-outs in each venue’s history as they both immediately sold out as soon as they went on-sale. Moreover, Combs’ stadium concert at Seattle’s Lumen Field also achieved a massive opening weekend and is nearly sold-out. All together, Combs sold over 115,000 tickets in one day. Ticket details can be found at www.lukecombs.com/tour- dates.
Of the accomplishments, President of U.S. Concerts at Live Nation Bob Roux shares, “My hat’s off to Luke Combs and his entire organization for their record setting on sale results at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. Luke’s immediate sell-out results in a stadium of this magnitude is a real testament to the work he has already put in, his genuine and close relationship with his fans and his well-known reputation for consistently delivering truly amazing live shows night after night,” while AEG Presents’ Adam Weiser adds, “Selling out your first stadium tour is always an incredible accomplishment, even when you’re CMA Entertainer of the Year. Selling out stadiums within days of the on-sale, however, is an even more impressive feat that puts you in league with some of the greatest artists in music. Congrats to Luke and team on a massive stadium on-sale.”
Additionally, Combs also broke records with his sold-out 2022 Canadian tour, achieving the fastest selling shows for a country artist at Montreal’s Centre Bell, Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena (two nights), Quebec City’s Centre Vidéotron and London’s Budweiser Gardens (two nights). Combs has also now sold the most tickets ever for an artist in any genre at Budweiser Gardens, breaking the record Shania Twain previously set in 2018.
The upcoming tours add to yet another monumental year for Combs, who is nominated for Best Country Solo Performance at the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards for his Platinum-certified, #1 single, “Forever After All.” Combs was also recently named Entertainer of the Year at the 55th Annual CMA Awards and once again made history as his latest single, “Cold As You,” reached #1 on the Billboard Country Airplay and Mediabase/Country Aircheck charts last week. This is the seventh #1 to come from Combs’ deluxe album, What You See Ain’t Always What You Get—breaking the record for most #1 singles to come from the same album—as well as his twelfth-consecutive #1 single overall, another historic feat.
Moreover, the 6x CMA, 3x ACM and 3x Billboard Music Award-winner recently debuted his new song, “Doin’ This” during the live CMA Awards broadcast. A personal reflection on his own life and career, the song continues to receive widespread acclaim with Billboard praising, “the North Carolina native with the full-throttle voice and arsenal of hits has become an unstoppable force,” while Music Row declares, “His heart is so huge, and there are few in the format who are as completely relatable…A masterpiece.” Listen to the song HERE and watch/share the official music video HERE.
Out now via River House Artists/Columbia Nashville, What You See Ain’t Always What You Get debuted at #1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart as well as Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart last fall. The deluxe edition features all 18 tracks from Combs’ double Platinum-certified, global #1 album, What You See Is What You Get, as well as five new songs. With the release, Combs reached #1 on Rolling Stone’s Top 200 Albums chart, Top 100 Songs chart and Artists 500 chart—the first country artist ever to lead all three charts in the same week and first to top the Artists 500.
Combs also recently made history as the first artist ever to have their first two studio albums spend 25 weeks or more at #1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart—breaking Taylor Swift’s previously held record at 24 weeks. The achievement comes as What You See Is What You Get topped the chart for the 25th time last summer, while his 2017 debut, This One’s For You, has spent 50 non-consecutive weeks at #1—tying the record for the longest reign atop the chart with Shania Twain’s Come On Over in 1997.
