Luke Combs Extends “What You See Is What You Get Tour” Madison Square Garden Headline Debut Confirmed New Shows to Feature In-The-Round Stage Design For Immediate Release February 20, 2020 LUKE COMBS EXTENDS “WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET TOUR” MADISON SQUARE GARDEN HEADLINE DEBUT CONFIRMED NEW SHOWS TO FEATURE IN-THE-ROUND STAGE DESIGN ACM, CMA and CMT Award-winning artist Luke Combs will continue his extensive “What You See Is What You Get Tour” this fall including his headline debut at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, December 1. Additional stops include Raleigh’s PNC Arena, Dallas’ American Airlines Center, San Francisco’s Chase Center, Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena, Chicago’s United Center, Orlando’s Amway Center and Boston’s TD Garden among several others. The newly confirmed dates will feature Combs performing with a new in-the-round stage design. Tickets for the shows—which will feature special guests Ashley McBryde, Drew Parker and Ray Fulcher—will be available for pre-sale starting next Tuesday, February 25 at 12:00PM local time with general on-sale following on Friday, February 28 at 10:00AM local time. Combs’ official fan club, The Bootleggers, will once again have early access to tickets through Ticketmaster Verified Fan pre-sale starting next Tuesday, February 25 at 10:00AM local time. See below for complete details. Additional information on The Bootleggers and pre-sale registration can be found here: https://www.lukecombs.com/bootlegger-membership/. The tour continues a groundbreaking and historic series of years for Combs, who made his debut as the musical guest on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” earlier this month with host JJ Watt performing two songs from his critically acclaimed new album, What You See Is What You Get: “Lovin’ On You” and “Beer Never Broke My Heart.” In November, What You See Is What You Get debuted at #1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart as well as Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart with 172,000 equivalent units sold. It was also a global #1 album, topping charts in Canada, Australia and the U.K. Out now via River House Artists/Columbia Nashville (stream/purchase here), the record enjoyed the largest streaming week ever for a country album with 74 million on-demand streams. It also achieved the biggest first week of album streams ever for a country artist on Apple Music and was the first country album ever to hit #1 on the platform’s U.S. overall albums chart, while also setting a new global record for first-week streams for a country album at Spotify and breaking the Amazon Music record for more first-week streams than any other country album debut. Produced by Scott Moffatt, What You See Is What You Get features 17 songs including the five tracks previously released via The Prequel EP last summer. The EP debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart with all five tracks charting on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Top 25—a feat not accomplished by any artist in 60 years since Johnny Cash in 1959. Additionally, Combs’ last single, “Even Though I’m Leaving,” spent three weeks at #1 at country radio, making it Combs’ seventh consecutive #1—a first on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart. Following this success, Combs’ new single, “Does To Me” featuring Eric Church, was recently shipped to country radio. In celebration of the album, Combs is set to headline his first ever stadium show at Appalachian State University’s Kidd Brewer Stadium in Boone, NC on May 2. The sold-out show continues Combs’ historic success on the road with the first leg of the “What You See Is What You Get Tour” selling out immediately after going on-sale last fall, including two record-breaking feats: • Lexington, KY’s Rupp Arena sold-out in 12 minutes—breaking the record for the fastest sell-out in the venue’s 43-year history (previously set by Paul McCartney) • University Park, PA’s Bryce Jordan Center broke the venue’s record for fastest single-show sell- out (previously held by Luke Bryan) Adding to his landmark year, Combs’ debut album, This One’s For You, was recently certified RIAA Triple Platinum. Since its release in 2017, the album has spent 50 non-consecutive weeks at #1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart—tying the record for the longest reign atop the chart with Shania Twain’s Come On Over in 1997. This One’s For You was also the most-streamed country album of 2019. Moreover, several of Combs’ songs have also received new RIAA certifications: 4x Platinum “Beautiful Crazy,” 4x Platinum “When It Rains It Pours,” 2x Platinum “She Got The Best of Me” and Platinum “Must’ve Never Met You.” Additional notable achievements and recognitions: • Awarded Male Vocalist of the Year and Song of the Year (“Beautiful Crazy”) at the 53rd Annual CMA Awards • Recently inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry • Awarded CMT Performance of the Year at the 2019 CMT Music Awards for his CMT Crossroads performance of “Beautiful Crazy” with Leon Bridges • Awarded Top Country Artist, Top Country Male Artist and Top Country Album at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards • Awarded New Male Artist of the Year at the 2019 ACM Awards • Awarded Country Artist of the Year at the 2019 iHeartRadio Music Awards • Awarded New Artist of the Year at the 52nd Annual CMA Awards • Nominated for Best New Artist at the 61st GRAMMY Awards • Recipient of a CMA Triple Play Award for writing three #1 songs in a 12-month period • First artist to simultaneously top all five Billboard country charts for multiple weeks: Top Country Albums, Hot Country Songs, Country Airplay, Country Streaming Songs and Country Digital Song Sales (dated March 9, March 30 and April 6) WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET TRACK LIST 1. “Beer Never Broke My Heart” 2. “Refrigerator Door” 3. “Even Though I’m Leaving” 4. “Lovin’ On You” 5. “Moon Over Mexico” 6. “1, 2 Many” featuring Brooks & Dunn 7. “Blue Collar Boys” 8. “New Everyday” 9. “Reasons” 10. “Every Little Bit Helps” 11. “Dear Today” 12. “What You See Is What You Get” 13. “Does To Me” featuring Eric Church 14. “Angels Workin’ Overtime” 15. “All Over Again” 16. “Nothing Like You” 17. “Better Together” LUKE COMBS’ “WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET TOUR” April 18—Albuquerque, NM—Isleta Amphitheater* (SOLD OUT) April 19—Colorado Springs, CO—Broadmoor World Arena* (SOLD OUT) April 21—Las Cruces, NM—Pan American Center* (SOLD OUT) April 24—Corpus Christi, TX—American Bank Center* (SOLD OUT) April 25—Houston, TX—Toyota Center* (SOLD OUT) May 2—Boone, NC—Kidd Brewer Stadium* (SOLD OUT) September 19—Raleigh, NC—PNC Arena* September 22—New Orleans, LA—Smoothie King Center† September 25—Dallas, TX—American Airlines Center† September 26—Memphis, TN—FedEx Forum† October 2—Grand Forks, ND—Alerus Center* October 3—Sioux Falls, SD—Denny Sanford PREMIER Center* October 15—Eugene, OR—Matthew Knight Arena† October 17—San Francisco, CA—Chase Center† October 20—Billings, MT—MetraPark – First Interstate Arena† October 22—Salt Lake City, UT—Vivint Smart Home Arena† October 23—Las Vegas, NV—T-Mobile Arena† October 24—Bakersfield, CA—Mechanics Bank Arena† November 6—Chicago, IL—United Center† (on-sale February 28 at 12:00pm CT) November 7—St. Louis, MO—Enterprise Center† November 19—Jacksonville, FL—VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena* November 20—Fort Lauderdale, FL—BB&T Center* November 21—Orlando, FL—Amway Center* December 1—New York, NY—Madison Square Garden† December 4—Boston, MA—TD Garden† *with Ashley McBryde and Drew Parker †with Ashley McBryde and Ray Fulcher BOLD on-sale next Friday, February 28 at 10:00AM local time LUKE COMBS’ ADDITIONAL TOUR DATES March 6—Berlin, Germany—Verti Music Hall March 7—Amsterdam, Netherlands—AFAS Live March 13—Glasgow, UK—Glasgow SSE Hydro March 14—Dublin, Ireland—Dublin 3Arena March 15—London, UK—London The O2 March 31—Nashville, TN—Grand Ole Opry April 17—Florence, AZ—Country Thunder Arizona April 23—Austin, TX—Austin City Limits Live at the Moody Theater May 8—Key West, FL—Truman Waterfront Park Amphitheater May 30—Cullman, AL—Rock the South June 7—Myrtle Beach, SC—Carolina Country Music Fest June 13—Winsted, MN—Winstock Country Music Festival June 18—Canandaigua, NY—CMAC June 19—Canandaigua, NY—CMAC June 20—North Lawrence, OH—The Country Fest June 26—North Platte, NE—Nebraskaland Days June 27—Topeka, KS—Heartland Stampede July 10—Fort Loramie, OH—Country Concert July 12—Craven, SK—Country Thunder Saskatchewan July 17—Brooklyn, MI—Faster Horses July 18—Eau Claire, WI—Country Jam September 4—Los Angeles, CA—SoFi Stadium‡ September 12—Philadelphia, PA—Citizens Bank Park‡ ‡with Tim McGraw www.LukeCombs.com For more information, please contact Asha Goodman 615.320.7753 or Carla Sacks 212.741.1000 at Sacks & Co., [email protected] or [email protected].

    luke combs, this ones for you album download free This One's for You. Purchase and download this album in a wide variety of formats depending on your needs. Buy the album Starting at $9.99. Luke Combs' debut album, This One's for You, is anchored by the slow-burning "Hurricane," a ballad that takes its cues from Sam Hunt's R&B rhythms but showcases Combs' big, gruff voice. The tension between Combs' traditional side and his modern inclinations is what gives This One's for You some freshness and it surfaces often, including on the opening open-road anthem "Out There," which has a busier rhythm than necessary. Combs can also veer toward the middle of the country-pop road, whether it's on the breezy island vibes of "Don't Tempt Me," the cautionary tale "Be Careful What You Wish For," or "Memories Are Made Of," which has a modern gloss even though its title invites nostalgia. Despite all this, Combs seems to favor old-fashioned modes. He kicks up some dust on the twanging "Beer Can" and "Honky Tonk Highway" (the latter is the straightest barroom raver here), but he truly specializes in slower stuff like "Hurricane." Such ballads are all over This One's for You -- he simmers on "One Number Away," he conjures brokenhearted soul on the title track, and he offers a sweet, spare, backporch love song "I Got Away with You" -- and they're the songs that anchor the record while pointing toward a potentially long career for this singer. © Stephen Thomas Erlewine /TiVo.

  • Keane Kommer Til Store VEGA På Deres Cause and Effect Tour
    2019-09-30 10:00 CEST Keane kommer til Store VEGA på deres Cause And Effect Tour VEGA og Live Nation præsenterer KEANE: CAUSE AND EFFECT TOUR 9. FEBRUAR 2020 STORE VEGA KEANE ANNONCERER 2020 EUROPA-TOUR I FORBINDELSE MED DET NYE ALBUM ‘CAUSE AND EFFECT’ - UDE NU Efter udgivelsen af deres seneste studiealbum ‘Cause and Effect’, annoncerer Keane en Europa-tour i begyndelsen af 2020. Touren starter 20. januar i Ancienne Belgique i Bruxelles og Keane vil efterfølgende turnere kontinentet rundt med 16 shows i januar og februar 2020. Bandet har brugt sommeren på at blæse festivalpublikummer omkuld i Storbritannien og Europa og udsolgte efterfølgende en række intimkoncerter i USA, Frankrig og Tyskland, inkl. shows i La Maroquinerie i Paris og Lido i Berlin. ’CAUSE AND EFFECT’ er Keanes efterfølger til ’Strangeland’ fra 2012, hvorpå man kunne finde singlerne ’Disconnected’ og ’Silenced by the Night’. Det nye albums tilblivelse kom som en overraskelse for bandet selv: Da de holdte en pause udgav sanger Tom Chaplin to succesfulde soloalbums, men han savnede sin gamle sparringspartner Tim Rice-Oxley. “I found myself wondering how I had come to let this very enigmatic and important relationship in my life drift,” udtalte Tom. I mellemtiden opdagede Tim, der havde kæmpet sine egne kampe, at han havde skrevet sange nok til et helt album; Nogle meget personlige sange, drevet af humor såvel som smerte. Da Tom, bassisten Jesse Quin og trommeslager Richard Hughes hørte sangene blev de omgående draget til dem, både lydmæssigt såvel som lyrisk. Derfra tog bandet i studiet for at lave det de elsker: at gøre sangene til virkelighed og hænge ud med hinanden.
