Luke Bryan is set to kick off his 2024 “Mind Of A Country Boy Tour” tonight (April 17th) in Canada at Calgary’s Scotiabank Saddledome with Chayce Beckham and Tenille Arts opening. The tour is currently expected to run through mid-September.
Luke will also feature multiple special guests throughout the trek, including Tenille and Chayce, as well as George Birge, King Calaway, Dillon Carmichael, Larry Fleet, HunterGirl, Ella Langley, Tracy Lawrence, Kameron Marlowe, Chase Matthew, Meghan Patrick, Lily Rose, Josh Ross, Alana Springsteen, Zach Top and DJ Rock. For many years, Luke has lifted up and mentored new artists by offering them the opportunity to perform in front of his concert audiences. The tour boasts two stadium dates this year, Truist Field in Atlanta on August 17th with Bailey Zimmerman, Kameron Marlowe and Chayce Beckham and Wrigley Field in Chicago on August 25th with Bailey Zimmerman, Tracy Lawrence and Chayce Beckham.
The five-time Entertainer of the Year is excited about bringing a lot of new acts on the road with him, since he remembers when he first started and Brooks & Dunn took him out when he only had one single on the radio.
“Last year was kind of the first year that I brought out a rotation of young acts that most of them had their first single going up the charts, and what was cool is one of those artists were Chayce Beckham who is celebrating his first number-one and like Jackson Dean was out there,” says Luke. “So, getting to know these artists while they’re in the infancy of their career and letting them get out there in front of my audiences and play big…I never will forget where I didn’t have really maybe ‘All My Friends Say’ had just came out, and I got to open for Brooks and Dunn in Pittsburgh. I didn’t sleep the whole night. And the fact that I can kind of reciprocate and pay it forward to some of these new acts is pretty special stuff and had a blast doing it last year, and this year it’ll be the same thing.”
Luke recently released his new single, “Love You, Miss You, Mean It.”

“We’re kind of starting in a middle to western Canada start to the tour. And the reason why is every time we go to Canada, a lot of times we’ll take a year or two off of certain areas of Canada. And we’ll go out to western Canada and it’ll be very energetic and a lot of, a lot of anticipation because we haven’t played those markets 10, 15 times. So really excited about that. And yeah, last year was kind of the first year that I brought out a rotation of young acts that most of them had their first single going up the charts, and what was cool is one of those artists were Chayce Beckham who is celebrating his first number-one and like Jackson Dean was out there. So, getting to know these artists while they’re in the infancy of their career and letting them get out there in front of my audiences and play big…I never will forget where I didn’t have really maybe ‘All My Friends Say’ had just came out, and I got to open for Brooks and Dunn in Pittsburgh.
