Presented by Jack Daniel’s and Jack Daniel’s Country Cocktails and powered by Whiskey Jam, the parties will take place ahead of each of Combs’ Saturday night shows throughout the tour, starting at 3:00 pm local time each weekend.

Each event will have food and drink options, pre-show merch stands, and live performances, with the first three weekends featuring Ryan Larkins and Graham Barham (April 13 in Milwaukee, WI), Shaylen and Greylan James (April 20 in Orchard Park, NY), and Redferrin and Alex Lambert (April 27 in University Park, PA). Remaining lineups are to be announced soon.

Additional dates on Combs’ extensive 2024 run include sold-out, back-to-back nights at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium, East Rutherford’s MetLife Stadium, Santa Clara’s Levi’s® Stadium, Phoenix’s State Farm Stadium, Salt Lake City’s Rice-Eccles Stadium, and Cincinnati’s Paycor Stadium among others.

Combs continues to break records with the tour, becoming the highest-selling country artist and the first ever to play back-to-back shows at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium, the highest-selling male country artist at Santa Clara’s Levi’s® Stadium and Phoenix’s State Farm Stadium, and the fastest-selling two-day run in the region of Cincinnati’s Paycor Stadium. See below for the complete tour itinerary and details.

The upcoming shows add to yet another triumphant year for Combs, who recently performed an unforgettable duet of “Fast Car” with Tracy Chapman during the 66th Annual GRAMMY Awards, which Rolling Stone called “one of the all-time best collaborative performances in Grammy history.”

The performance was the culmination of a massive year for “Fast Car,” as Combs’ version of the song won Single of the Year at the 2023 CMA Awards (with Chapman winning Song of the Year). It also spent five consecutive weeks atop Billboard’s Country Airplay chart and reached #1 on the Hot AC chart, the first song by a male solo artist to ever top both. The 2x Platinum single, which has garnered over 700 million global streams to date, also spent eighteen weeks in the top 5 of Billboard’s all-genre Hot 100 chart, eight of which were spent at #2.

“Fast Car” is featured on Combs’ most recent album, Gettin’ Old—a companion to his acclaimed 2022 record, Growin’ Up. Produced by Combs, Chip Matthews, and Jonathan Singleton, Gettin’ Old further establishes Combs as one of music’s most authentic and powerful voices. Receiving widespread critical attention, Combs spoke with Esquire, who calls him, “the best country singer of his generation,” while Billboard declares, “his electrifying-yet-earthy voice soundtracking this time in his life as a husband, father, and entertainer at the top of his game.”

A Grand Ole Opry member and 9x CMA, 3x ACM, and 3x Billboard Music Award-winner, Combs has also partnered with Opry Entertainment Group to open a massive multi-level entertainment complex in downtown Nashville, expected to open this summer.
