Luke Bryan’s “Dirt Road Diaries Tour” has proved to be such a popular ticket that he has added 34 more dates to the trek including a stop in Peoria, Illinois.
It could easily be said that Luke Bryan has moved up to the next level in his country music career. In the past year Luke has had numerous number one singles as well as platinum selling albums. Luke has recieved many awards for his music. He was also recently announced as Blake Shelton’s new co-host for the 48th annual ACM Awards Show.
This year Luke heads out on his first headlining tour with special guests Florida Georgia Line and Thompson Square. The “Dirt Road Diaries Tour” was set to do 21 shows from last night (1/17) through March. Luke sold-out two shows during that stretch her in Bloomington, Illinois at US Cellular Coliseum that will take place Sunday and Monday February 17th and 18th. In fact, the tour has been such a huge success for ticket sales that it has sold-out all of the shows through Macrh. That has led Luke to add a second leg to the tour.
Luke Bryan’s “Dirt Road Diaries Tour” will stay on the road from May 17th through October 26th of this year. Florida Georgia Line and Thompson Square will remain as opening acts for Luke on the second leg of the tour. Luke will bring the “Dirt Road Diaries Tour” back to Central Illinois for a show in Peoria, Illinois June 13th at the Peoria Civic Center. The on-sale date and complete ticket details for that show as well as the others on the second leg of the “Dirt Road Diaries Tour” will be released at a later date.
Congratulations to Luke Bryan on all of his recent success on the country singles charts, album sales charts and with his first headlining tour, the “Dirt Road Diaries Tour.” We’ll see you at the shows here in Bloomington next month and then in June at the Peoria Civic Center.
