The upcoming tour is just the latest milestone in an already monumental career for Combs, whose acclaimed new album, Growin’ Up, debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart in June. Growin’ Up was produced by Combs, Chip Matthews and Jonathan Singleton and is his third studio album following 2019’s 3x Platinum What You See is What You Get and his 4x Platinum debut, This One’s For You. The record also features his current single, ‘The Kind of Love We Make’, which debuted at #17 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart—the highest chart debut since January 2020—and is currently top 5 and rising. The single adds to a historic run at country radio for Combs, who recently achieved his record-breaking, thirteenth-consecutive #1 as his single, ‘Doin’ This’, reached the top of both the Billboard Country Airplay and Mediabase/Country Aircheck charts.
On his 2023 dates, Combs will be joined by US country star Cody Johnson and Australian singer-songwriter Lane Pittman.
One of country music’s most exciting rising stars, Cody Johnson “just might be the future of real country music” (MusicRow). Known for his explosive live shows and electrifying stage presence Cody has established a following of passionately loyal fans who regularly sell out shows across North America.
At just sixteen years of age, Tamworth’s Lane Pittman is quickly making an impact in Australian country music. Rising to fame on the 2022 season of The Voice Australia, Pittman wowed judges with a stunning rendition of the Luke Combs’ song ‘Even Though I’m Leaving’ in the blind auditions, with all four judges turning their chairs and ultimately landing him on Keith Urban’s team.
