Global sensation Luke Combs is gearing up for an epic return to Australia and New Zealand in January and February 2025. This tour is set to be a record-breaking event as Combs will become the first country artist to headline a full stadium tour in these regions. The tour will encompass eight massive shows across Auckland, Brisbane, Sydney, and Melbourne. Joining Combs on this landmark tour are American icons Jordan Davis and Mitchell Tenpenny, alongside Australian favourite Lane Pittman, who previously supported Combs during his 2023 Australian tour.
Luke Combs’ upcoming tour is more than just a series of concerts; it marks a significant milestone in his already monumental career. Recently, Combs received nominations for Male Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year (Fathers & Sons), and the highly coveted Entertainer of the Year at this year’s CMA Awards. Combs had previously won Entertainer of the Year in both 2021 and 2022, further solidifying his status as a leading figure in the country music scene.
The love for Luke Combs in Australia is palpable, with Sydney and Brisbane ranking among his top four global streaming cities on Spotify. His ARIA triple platinum album This One’s For You and the chart-topping double platinum What You See Ain’t Always What You Get have won over local audiences. On his fourth headline Australian tour, Combs is set to elevate his already unparalleled trajectory, having progressed from intimate theatres to towering stadiums in just five short years.
Released in June, Combs’ Fathers & Sons album is a collection of twelve heartfelt tracks showcasing his most personal songwriting to date. Recorded entirely live, the album allows Combs to reflect on his experiences as a father and the unique bond between parents and children. The album’s lead single, ‘The Man He Sees In Me’, has been a hit with fans, offering a deeply personal look into Combs’ life.
Adding to his impressive list of achievements, Combs’ hit single ‘Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma’ was featured on the soundtrack for the new Twisters movie and is the subject of an exhibit at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. The exhibit, entitled Luke Combs: The Man I Am, features a variety of photographs, childhood memorabilia, instruments, setlists, and more from throughout Combs’ life and career.
Earlier this year, Combs delivered an unforgettable performance of ‘Fast Car’ with Tracy Chapman during the 66th Annual GRAMMY Awards. Rolling Stone heralded it as “one of the all-time best collaborative performances in Grammy history.” The performance capped off a remarkable year for ‘Fast Car’, as Combs’ rendition won Single of the Year at the 2024 ACM Awards and 2023 CMA Awards, with Chapman winning Song of the Year. The single spent five consecutive weeks atop Billboard’s Country Airplay chart and reached No.1 on the Hot AC Chart, making Combs the first male solo artist to achieve this feat. The double platinum single has garnered over 1.1 billion global streams to date and spent eighteen weeks in the Top 5 of Billboard’s all-genre Hot 100 chart, eight of which were at No.2.
Returning to Australia after making their debut at CMC Rocks QLD in 2023, both Jordan Davis and Mitchell Tenpenny are set to bring the heat to stadiums in 2025. Jordan Davis, an award-winning, multi-platinum singer and songwriter, is renowned for his platinum-selling albums Homestate and Bluebird Days. His chart-topping hits include ‘Next Thing You Know’, ‘Buy Dirt’, and ‘What My World Spins Around’. Davis’ ability to craft songs that resonate with audiences has earned him numerous accolades, including CMA and ACM winning Song of the Year honours.
Mitchell Tenpenny, another celebrated figure in the country music scene, continues to captivate audiences with his soulful voice and relatable lyrics. Known for his hit songs such as ‘Drunk Me’ and ‘Truth About You’, Tenpenny’s music explores themes of love, heartbreak, and personal growth. His performances are marked by an emotional depth that resonates with fans worldwide.
Local legend Lane Pittman, who supported Combs on his 2023 Australian tour, will once again join the lineup, adding a touch of homegrown talent to the tour. Pittman’s energetic performances and charismatic stage presence have earned him a loyal following in Australia.
The tour promises to be a spectacular showcase of talent, with each artist bringing their unique style to the stage. Fans can expect an unforgettable experience, filled with powerful performances and a celebration of country music at its finest.
