Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year Luke Combs is playing 25U.S.stadium showsin 2024 on his Growin’ Up and Gettin’ OldTour, including two performances at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Friday, May 31, and Saturday, June 1.
Special guests at Friday's show will be Cody Jinks, Charles Wesley Godwin, Hailey Whitters (whose set last year at Country Thunder Arizona has me thinking you'd be foolish not to make it to the stadium on time) and the Wilder Blue.
Saturday's show will feature Jordan Davis, Drew Parker and Colby Acuff.
The Growin’ Up and Gettin’ OldTour launched with two shows in Milwaukee, where the Journal-Sentinel reviewer noted, "As a songwriter, as a storyteller, he's as polished as any of his peers in heavy rotation on country radio. But there's more soul and vulnerability in his voice, with just a touch of grit, than most of his centrist country star contemporaries."
The review went on to single out the star's "ability to make the stadium filled with 41,000 to 44,000 feel small, to make songs feel personal in that space" as his greatest strength.
Here's everything you need to know before you go to State Farm Stadium.
