This Sunday (February 7th), millions of people around the world will be tuning in to the Super Bowl (the Big Game), including some of your favorite country artists. Some will be rooting for the Denver Broncos, while others will be pulling for the Carolina Panthers to win the Big Game. Canaan Smith, Darius Rucker, Luke Bryan, Lady Antebellum, Easton Corbin and Little Big Town are definitely fans of football.

Sam Hunt will perform at the annual tailgate party preceding Sunday’s game, along with pop star Seal.

Reigning CMA and ACM Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan has hit No. 1 on both the Billboard and Country Aircheck country singles charts today with “Home Alone Tonight,” featuring Karen Fairchild of Little Big Town, his 15th career No. 1 single. The song also garnered an ACM award nomination this morning in the Vocal Event of the Year category; in addition, Luke received his fourth consecutive Entertainer of the Year nod. Luke will co-host the 51st Academy of Country Music Awards with Dierks Bentley on Sunday, April 3rd live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on CBS.

“Home Alone Tonight,” written by Jody Stevens, Cole Taylor, Jaida Dreyer and Tommy Cecil, is the third consecutive No. 1 single from Luke’s fifth studio album, Kill The Lights.

On February 18th, Luke will launch his Kill The Lights Tour, performing nearly 70 concerts across the U.S. before wrapping this fall. The tour includes five stadium concerts: July 16 in Boston, MA at Gillette Stadium, August 19, in Minneapolis, MN at U.S. Bank Stadium, August 27 in Chicago, IL at Wrigley Field, October 22 in Dallas, TX at AT&T Stadium, and closing out the tour on October 29 in Detroit, MI at Ford Field. Little Big Town and Dustin Lynch are his special guests on the trek.

Since the debut of his first album in 2007, Luke has placed 15 singles at No. 1 and sold nearly eight million albums with 30 million digital tracks from his five studio albums. He has twice been named Entertainer of the Year by both the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association. His fifth studio album, Kill The Lights, debuted at No. 1 on both the Billboard Top 200 (his third to do so) and Top Country Albums charts and closed 2015 with the best-selling country album of the year and the 10th biggest selling album on the all-genre Billboard Top 200 Year-End list. In Luke’s stellar 2015 year, he had three albums on the Top 15 Year-End Country Albums list- Kill the Lights (#1), Spring Break…Checkin’ Out (#10) and Crash My Party (#15), was the most streamed artist of 2015 and placed six songs in the Year-End Top Country Streaming Tracks list. Luke also performed for 1.5 million fans in concert, played for 400,000 fans at Spring Break in Florida, co-hosted the ACM Awards for a third-consecutive year, had his own exhibit at The Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum (“Luke Bryan: Dirt Road Diary”), became the reigning ACM and CMA Entertainer of the Year, performed live during halftime at the Dallas Cowboys game on Thanksgiving and wrapped up the year with a live Times Square performance on ABC’s “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve.”

Keith Urban and Vince Gill have announced their sixth annual All for the Hall, a benefit concert for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. The two will headline the event, which will take place April 12th at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.

The show’s theme is Mashville: The Music City in 2016, and it’ll feature performances by the show’s headliners, as well as Luke Bryan, Sam Hunt, Florida Georgia Line, Peter Frampton, Jason Isbell, Emmylou Harris, Maddie and Tae and Maren Morris.

Nashville has become a dynamic and diverse musical melting pot,” Keith said about this year’s theme in a prepared statement. “While it remains the home of country music, an unbelievably talented community of songwriters, producers, instrumentalists, singers, bands and solo artists are rapidly changing the entire musical landscape in Music City, U.S.A.”

Luke Bryan asked Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild to sing on his latest smash hit, “Home Alone Tonight,” and she immediately said yes to the offer.

“Any chance to sing with Luke Bryan, I mean, who’s gonna say no to that,” Karen asks. “He’s so freaking adorable and fun. It’s such a great song, and I was just honored that he thought of me and I love the way our voices sound together. It’s kind of a sexy slow jam.”

The two will most likely perform the duet when they hit the road on Luke’s Kill the Lights Tour, which will launch in Evansville, Indiana February 16th, and Karen is looking forward to the opportunity. “I can’t wait to sing it out in front of his crowd. That’s going to be amazing.” Dustin Lynch is also on the bill.

“Home Alone Tonight,” which is currently sitting inside the Top 10 on the country charts, is from Luke’s latest album, Kill the Lights.

Little Big Town is climbing the country charts with their latest single, “Pain Killer.”

Two-time CMA and ACM Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan made a special live announcement direct to his fans this morning that his “Kill the Lights Tour” will add five stadium shows to the 2016 touring schedule. The news was exclusively shared live through his Luke Bryan mobile fan app followed by a live announcement on Facebook. Luke also revealed active users of Luke’s mobile app can enter to win a once-in-a-lifetime experience to sit side of stage at the stadium concert in Detroit.
