Recently crowned 2021 ACM Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan has announced the “PROUD TO BE RIGHT HERE TOUR” which kicks off July 8 in Syracuse, N.Y., and features special guests Dylan Scott, Caylee Hammack and Runaway June along with DJ Rock.

“There is nothing more gratifying about writing and recording music than getting to play it live for the fans. There’s several songs off my new album that I’ve never performed live” Luke Bryan says in the announcement. “I can’t believe this moment is nearly here when we get to hop on the tour bus and roll into towns across America and get back to doing what we do best. What we live to do!”
New concert dates on the schedule will be available for presale to Luke’s fan club, the Nut House, on Tuesday, April 27 and on sale to the public beginning April 30 at 10 A.M. local time at www.lukebryan.com
Tickets previously purchased will be honored on the newly reschedule dates, as noted in the full list of dates below. 
The announcement comes one day after Bryan’s “Crash My Playa 2022” concert vacation event set for January 19-22, 2022 sold out, according to the announcement, which added it was the event’s fastest sellout in its seven-year history.
Promoted by Live Nation, Lipton Iced Tea is the official tour sponsor.
Although mostly an outdoor affair, the tour includes notable arena stops including Staples Center in Los Angeles and Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif. 
The announcement follows other notable country tours announced in recent days, including Chris Stapleton, Eric Church and Thomas Rhett. All three, along with Bryan, are represented by WME Nashville.
“It’s really great to see things reopening safely in a lot of places,” WME partner and Nashville co-head Jay Williams told Pollstar by email. “We have shifted, routed and rerouted tours so many times, over 25 in some cases, so it’s great seeing things beginning to announce and go on sale finally.”
“We are hoping for full capacities everywhere, but obviously there are local mandates that will dictate that,” said Williams of the tours of WME Nashville clients, calling early sales “incredibly encouraging.”
