Five-time Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan headlined Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena last night, celebrating his ninth studio album, SIGNS, with surprise guests. The “Luke Bryan & Friends” concert featured Jason Aldean, Dierks Bentley, Kane Brown, Darius Rucker, Chris Stapleton, and Carrie Underwood. ACM New Artist of the Year nominee Avery Anna opened the show, and DJ Rock kept the crowd going.
Luke has sold out Bridgestone Arena SEVEN consecutive times, including tonight, 2023, 2021, and two back-to-back sold-out dates in both 2017 and 2013. Luke has sold 20 million concert tickets in his career and was one of only two country artists to make Pollstar’s Top 20 at the close of 2025.
“What a surreal, magical moment to be here on this stage tonight,” said Luke. “I moved here and started chasing this dream, and a lot of great memories later, I get to stand right here in Music City USA. It is a dream come true to get to play music for a living, and I have all of you guys to thank for that.”
During the concert, Luke, Carrie, and Lionel Richie announced their return as superstar judges on “American Idol” for a landmark 25th season, alongside Emmy® Award-winning host and producer Ryan Seacrest. “American Idol” premieres next year on ABC and streams next day on Disney+ and Hulu. Once live shows begin, episodes will also stream live on Disney+. Watch the concert moment Here.
Prior to the show, Luke received two Diamond certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for “Country Girl (Shake It For Me),” written by Luke and Dallas Davidson, and “Play It Again,” written by Dallas and Ashley Gorley. For the presentation, he was joined by fellow Diamond recipients and special guests Jason Aldean, Darius Rucker and Carrie Underwood. Luke is one of only five artists with multiple Country singles that are RIAA Diamond certified. Diamond status is the RIAA’s highest certification level, based on physical sales, digital downloads, and on-demand audio and video streams. A one-of-a-kind Diamond 7” vinyl featuring these two songs is now available! Get it HERE.
Luke heads to New York City this weekend to perform and join Jimmy Fallon for a chat on The Tonight Show on Sunday, September 27. This special Sunday night show is the first of four episodes planned for this football season and will air after the Los Angeles Rams versus Denver Broncos game. Sylvester Stallone will also appear. The next day, Luke will appear on Good Morning America, GMA 3, and CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360°.
