If you go to a Luke Bryan show, you’re bound to get overheated – not only because of his sexy onstage dance moves and nonstop interaction with the audience, but because a lot of his shows are outdoor, and many of the cities he’s visited have been having record heat waves. So, how does this country boy stay cool onstage? “With playing really, really hot amphitheaters, you just have to remember throughout the day what you’re fixin’ to have to get up there and do,” says Luke. “For me, I love getting out there and sweatin’ and workin’. I mean, I grew up in South Georgia workin’ in the heat and I love getting out there and flushing out all the ole, the beer from last night out.” Luke isn’t too concerned about himself, but more about his fans. “In that scenario, I worry about the fans, ‘cause really, they’re out there drinking beer all day and you just worry about their safety and them being hydrated. I’ve got enough people checking on me and looking after me, so I’ll be taken care of.”

Luke Bryan (heat) OC: …taken care of. :54
“Well, with playing really, really hot amphitheaters, you just have to remember throughout the day what you’re fixin’ to have to get up there and do. For me, I love getting out there and sweatin’ and workin’. I mean, I grew up in South Georgia workin’ in the heat and I love getting out there and flushing out all the ole, the beer from last night out. So, it’s fun for me, but you do have to be careful. You know, some of the amphitheaters, I think in Philadelphia last year we had, under the shed it was like 115, 120. So, you just have to hydrate onstage and be mindful. In that scenario, I worry about the fans, ‘cause really, they’re out there drinking beer all day and you just worry about their safety and them being hydrated. I’ve got enough people checking on me and looking after me, so I’ll be taken care of.”
