Luke Bryan announced 15 stadium dates for 2018 and shared that Sam Hunt will be coming along.
The What Makes You Country XL Tour is part of his previously announced What Makes You Country Tour, it’s just supersized. Beginning on May 31 in Toronto Bryan, Hunt, Carly Pearce, Morgan Wallen and Jon Pardi will play baseball and football stadiums, including the iconic Fenway Park and Wrigley Field, as well as Dodger Stadium.
Bryan will be the first country singer to play Dodger Stadium, home to the Los Angeles Dodgers. During a press even on Tuesday he shared that his sons were very impressed he’s playing some of the venues they’ve watched sporting events on television.
Heinz Field in Pittsburgh, MetLife Stadium in New Jersey and Detroit’s Ford Field are amongst the other stadiums listed. All opening acts joined Bryan for the announcement with Pardi and Hunt singing. The “Body Like a Back Road” singer mentioned that he’d been writing new songs before instead playing “Take Your Time.” Later he’d say he hopes to have an album out before the tour begins. He’ll be recordings songs in February, March and April.
A worth footnote: Hunt shaved his beard. Photos taken before the 2018 Grammys show him full grizzling but on this day he was as clean shaven as Pardi.
