“I needed the time off to devote all my attention to the new music and making The Mountain album … but now I can’t wait to fire up the buses and go back out there,” Bentley said in a statement. “I’ve been friends with TJ and John for a long time and I have loved watching their career explode. I’m getting to know the boys in Lanco, but I love their music and the energy they bring to the stage. And after seeing them and the Bros. party down at the grand opening of my new bar on Lower Broadway last week, I can tell you it’s gonna be game on this summer!”
As any of his fans can testify, it’s always “game on” when Bentley hits the road. Touring from April through September 2017 with Cole Swindell and Jon Pardi on the ticket, Bentley moved, on average, more than 14,000 tickets per show, grossing approximately $547,362 nightly, according to shows reported to Pollstar, for a total gross just over $19 million.
