Luke Bryan’s 16th “Farm Tour” will include stops in new destinations for the first time, the country megastar announced on Monday morning (January 13).
Bryan is expanding his “Farm Tour” to the west coast for the first time ever. He’s set to perform at California farms in Modesto, Fresno, and Bakersfield areas this spring. Special guests will be announced at a later date, per a press release announcing the shows. The release also notes that Bryan’s spring “Farm Tour” dates will take place just before the American Idol season finale. Bryan and Lionel Richie are returning as celebrity judges, alongside newcomer Carrie Underwood. The powerhouse singer-songwriter is making her highly-anticipated return to the competition show 20 years after she was crowned the winner of American Idol in 2005. Underwood’s return will also reunite her with the ABC show’s longtime host, Ryan Seacrest.
“With the farm tour being such a unique type of show in rural towns we have to be really intentional on where we go in order to have the best experience for the fans all while lifting up the farming community and what they do for our country,” Bryan said in a statement. “I have always wanted to raise awareness for the west coast farmer and I’m so excited to get to do that this year. Going to be amazing.”
