Fresh off winning Entertainer of the Year at the CMAs earlier this week, country star Luke Combs announced three 2022 U.S. stadium dates on Friday.
Combs will perform at Denver’s Empower Field at Mile High on May 21, Seattle’s Lumen Field on June 4, and Atlanta’s Mercedes-Benz Stadium on July 30.
Cody Johnson, Zach Bryan and Morgan Wade will support Combs on the stadium dates. Tickets for shows go onsale on Nov. 19 at 10 a.m. local time.
“This week has been a whirlwind – got to debut a new song on the CMAs, release the song and music video to my fans, and announce three stadium shows at NFL stadiums,” Combs said in a statement. “Talk about a week! It will be hard to top this one.”
The stadium gigs accompany a handful of North American festival plays Combs has lined up for 2022, including a headline turn at Stagecoach in Indio, Calif., on May 1. His festival and stadium appearances will follow brief tours in the U.K. and Canada in March.
Currently, Combs is wrapping up a North American arena tour that was postponed from 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. Two-night stands at Dallas’ American Airlines Center, New York’s Madison Square Garden and Boston’s TD Garden, along with single shows at New Orleans’ Smoothie King Center, Memphis’ FedEx Forum and Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena, remain before the tour wraps at Salt Lake City’s Vivint Smart Home Arena on Dec. 16.
Immediately before the pandemic, Combs was regularly packing arenas across the country. In December 2019, he sold 26,739 tickets over two nights at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, grossing $1.07 million. He notched his highest single-show attendance at the Tacoma Dome in Tacoma, Wash., on Nov. 2, 2019, with 19,011 tickets sold and $663,051 grossed.
Earlier this year, Combs sold 28,100 tickets and grossed $1.48 million over two August nights at the Constellation Brands-Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center in Canandaigua, N.Y.
