    Luke Bryan (WMYC Stadium Tour) OC: …line up like this. :46
    “I want fans to be able to come to a show and ‘A’ I want them to hear an artist with big ole crazy hits. I just love to see the fans out there singing these big hits that they’re hearing on the radio, and I think when they can come out and see artists in that setting, I just enjoy trying to make the best fan experience. The fact that we can all come together and create a package for fans and at the end of the day I get so excited to put these guys in the best scenario possible to showcase what they are and where they’re going and what they’re going to be. And when I found out we could put this together, we got on the phone and started booking stadiums, and we were like, ‘Let’s go after this thing.’ So, it’s just exciting to go in with a line up like this.”

    Sam Hunt (on the road with Luke’s stadium tour) OC: …the good time. :22
    “The venues are really cool, being a baseball fan. Not playing as many shows, you can really…there’s an anticipation that starts to build during the week when you’re sitting at home and you know you got a show that weekend. By the third or fourth or fifth day of not playing a show and just coming off the high of the last one, you’re excited and ready to go in full speed ahead. So, I’ll be fresh-faced for all these shows and I feel like that’ll help the good time.”
