Country superstar and newly minted CMA Entertainer of the Year Luke Combs will embark on his first-ever headline stadium tour next year with performances 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. Special guests featured on the tour include Cody Johnson, Zach Bryan and Morgan Wade. See below for complete details.

Tickets for the newly confirmed shows will be available for pre-sale starting next Wednesday, November 17 at 4:00 p.m. local time through Ticketmaster Verified Fan, with general on-sale following Friday, November 19 at 10:00 a.m. local time. Combs’ official fan club, The Bootleggers, will once again have early access to tickets through Ticketmaster Verified Fan pre-sale starting next Wednesday, November 17 at 10:00 a.m. local time. American Express® Card Members can purchase tickets before the general public beginning Thursday, November 18 at 10:00 a.m. local time through Thursday, November 18 at 10:00 p.m. local time.

The announcement adds to a monumental past few days for the 6x CMA, 3x ACM and 3x Billboard Music Award-winner, who won Entertainer of the Year at the 55th Annual CMA Awards, surprise-released his new song, “Doin’ This,” and debuted it live during the CMA Awards broadcast earlier this week. A personal reflection on his own life and career, Combs shares, “This song means a lot to me personally. Not to recite the lyrics, but for me, it’s truly about playing country music for a crowd, whether that’s 70 people or 70,000 people, and playing country music with my buddies in the band. It really doesn’t matter where we’re playing or how many people we’re playing for because it isn’t about the fame, the fortune, the name, or the glory. It’s about getting to make and play country music.” Listen HERE and watch/share the official music video HERE.

Additionally, reflecting on the past few days, Combs shares, “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. Talk about a week! It will be hard to top this one.”

Moreover, Combs current single, “Cold As You,” is Top 5 and rising at country radio—his seventh single released to radio from What You See Ain’t Always What You Get. The previous six singles along with his first five singles from his debut album have all gone No. 1—a historic, record-breaking run. Moreover, Combs recently released his new song, “South On Ya ,” which has been selected as the official theme song for the SEC Network’s 2021 football season.

Out now via River House Artists/Columbia Nashville, What You See Ain’t Always What You Get debuted at No. 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 No. 1 album, What You See Is What You Get, as well as five new songs. With the release, Combs reached No. 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 No. 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 No. 1—tying the record for the longest reign atop the chart with Shania Twain’s Come On Over in 1997.

TENILLE TOWNES WINS TWO ACM AWARDS

WINS IN BOTH NOMINATED CATEGORIES: NEW FEMALE ARTIST OF THE YEAR AND MUSIC EVENT OF THE YEAR 

DEBUT ALBUM THE LEMONADE STAND RELEASED TO CRITICAL ACCLAIM

Tenille Townes is the winner of two awards at the 55th Academy of Country Music Awards: New Female Artist of the Year and Music Event of the Year for “Fooled Around and Fell in Love” with Miranda Lambert, Maren Morris, Ashley McBryde, Caylee Hammack and Elle King. Winning in both of her nominated categories, Townes will perform during the live awards show, which will air this Wednesday, September 16 at 8:00 p.m. ET/7:00 p.m. CT on CBS. 

These accolades continue a breakout year for Townes, who is also the most nominated artist at this year’s Canadian Country Music Awards with six nominations and recently released her acclaimed debut album, The Lemonade Stand, on Columbia Nashville in partnership with RCA Records. Produced by Jay Joyce (Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town), the album consists of twelve songs written by Townes and continues to receive widespread critical praise.

Recent critical praise for The Lemonade Stand:

 

“it’s ultimately hopeful, empathetic, and supremely welcome at a moment when it’s easy to start feeling like everything looks pretty bleak”

- Rolling Stone 

“The Lemonade Stand is a good country album just about any way you spin it…Tenille Townes has the talent and energy that turns country singers into country stars.”

- Paste

“Although the rising country music artist is only 26 years old, the depth of emotion she reveals in her songwriting would suggest someone who has lived a much longer life.”

- Women’s Wear Daily 

“stellar…a perfect marriage of her razor-sharp melodic sense and Joyce’s stop-on-a-dime production”.

- The Tennessean 

“overflowing with longing, love and light…a unique sound in country, containing a fierceness that's a perfect fit for her passion-packed lyrics”

- People 

“finds her a confident and credible artist clearly capable of courting widespread crossover appeal…one of country’s most promising up and comers”

- American Songwriter

Lyrically, Tenille Townes’ American debut The Lemonade Stand may be the best of 2020…the humble master of turning a social statement into a poetic, concise and melodic country song”

- Taste of Country 

“flush with Townes’ signature message songs—deep and thoughtful ballads that tug at the heartstrings with evocative lyrics and haunting melodies.”

- Nashville Lifestyles

“With a curious and probing spirit, Townes infuses a distinct sense of wonderment into the stunning album that reflects her equally beautiful soul.”

- Sounds Like Nashville 

“It’s the kind of refreshing country music you didn’t even know your life was thirsty for”

- CMT 

“there’s nothing more integral to Townes’ first full-length career venture than this sense of community…continues the tradition of country music as a storytelling medium.”

- Forbes 

“Whether the ambiance in her songs welcomes in elements of carefree pop, country-leaning strings or unembellished acoustic guitar, Townes sketches truth throughout every song”

- Music Row 

“Townes possesses empathy in spades”—The Boot 

“a true reflection of Townes and her craft…If Townes is the source of inspiration for aspiring female country artists, then the industry is in very good hands.”

- NY Country Swag 

“well crafted, anthemic masterpieces”

- The Country Note

Of the album, Townes reflects, “The Lemonade Stand is a collection of songs that mean so much to me and are the way I see the world in this season of my life right now. I want this music to be like a gathering place, where people can come and be filled up. I hope this record reminds people of who they are, that they are not alone, and reminds them of their dreams. This record is the dream that I had when I was a seven-year-old kid singing along in the backseat of the car. She would really be freaking out right now.”

In celebration of the album release, Townes recently raised $89,000 during her virtual “Big Hearts For Big Kids” fundraiser with all proceeds benefitting two organizations: Sunrise House (a local youth shelter in Townes’ hometown of Grande Prairie, Alberta) and Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee’s Troop 6000 (an initiative that supports girls without permanent housing in the Nashville area). In the eleven years since Townes started the annual fundraiser, “Big Hearts For Big Kids” has raised over $2 million. Hosted at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium, the event featured Townes performing songs from the new album as well as special at-home performances from Dierks Bentley, Brandi Carlile, Luke Combs, Andy Grammer, Mickey Guyton, Caylee Hammack, Ashley McBryde, Lori McKenna, Chrissy Metz, John Osborne and Lucie Silvas. 

The release of The Lemonade Stand adds to breakthrough series of years for Townes, who is a MusicRow 2020 Next Big Thing Artist, an iHeartCountry’s “On The Verge” artist and has been included in Amazon Music’s “2019 Artists To Watch,” CMT’s “Next Women of Country,” iHeart Radio’s “Artists To Watch in 2019,” “The Bobby Bones Show’s” “Class of 2019,” CMT’s “Listen Up” and the inaugural class of “Opry NextStage.” Additionally, she is featured in the Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum’s new American Currents: State of the Music exhibit.
