NASHVILLE – (October 31, 2016) Two-Time CMA and ACM Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan wrapped his “Kill The Lights Tour” with two back to back sold-out stadium dates, October 22nd in Dallas’s AT&T Stadium and October 29th at Detroit’s Ford Field. Luke has performed for a total of 1.6 million fans in concert in 2016, including more than 100,000 fans during his eighth annual “Farm Tour.” The tour is named after Luke’s Platinum-selling Kill The Lights album which just launched its fifth consecutive No. 1 single with “Move.” This is Luke’s 17th career No.1 single.
During the “Kill the Lights Tour,” Luke sold-out all six of his stadium shows this summer including a double play in Boston’s Gillette Stadium due to high ticket demand. The tour also performed back-to-back concerts in five additional cities.
Known for his enthusiastic performances, Luke captured the attention not only of his fans but music critics alike during the tour’s 58-city run.
“Bryan’s appeal is his unflappable energy.”- Houston Chronicle
“It was also easy to see why Bryan has connected with such a large audience since his career began in 2007. Like so many other stars in genres like rap, pop and electronic dance music, Bryan’s take on country offers pure escapism. Having a good time was the theme.” – Baltimore Sun
“The Georgia native had a masterful stage setup which catered perfectly to his playful, energetic personality.” – Toledo Blade
”It was the kind of night that underscored why Bryan is the Country Music Association’s reigning Entertainer of The Year. He’s a first rate showman who worked hard at connecting with his audience…He’s likeable, charismatic and comes across as quite genuine.”- San Jose Mercury News
“Bryan is a solid performer, with great charisma and stage presence, and an ability to create intimacy with an audience of tens of thousands of people.” – Sacramento Bee
“The country music superstar who has scored CMA’s coveted entertainer of the year award two years in a row, definitely proved worthy of that honor.”- Orange County Register
On Wednesday, Nov. 2, Luke will perform on the 50th Annual CMA Awards where he is the reigning 2014 & 2015 Entertainer of the Year and is nominated again for the night’s top prestige award as well as in the Vocal Collaboration category with Karen Fairchild for “Home Alone Tonight.”
