Throughout his career Luke has invested in new artists by inviting them to join him on tour. Through the years dozens of ones to watch have been a part of his trailblazing tours including Cole Swindell, Dustin Lynch, Dylan Scott, Jon Langston, Little Big Town, Morgan Wallen, Lauren Alaina, Mitchell Tenpenny, Riley Green and many more. Cultivating and mentoring new talent is also the reason he loves judging on  American Idol . He appreciates the journey and hard work it took to get him to where he is today, and he wants to open the door and lead the way by sharing his experiences as an artist and a businessman.  

“Artists get into the business to make music and perform it for the fans,” shared Luke. “Leaving it all out on that stage is what it’s all about for me. I’m excited to support and have so many talented new artists along for the ride this year.  It’s one of the most rewarding parts of our job.

During his illustrious and decorated career, Luke has worked diligently to build a highly active and loyal fan base one fan at a time. Much credit can be given to him and his team for creating unique concert opportunities for him to engage with and garner fans. No other country artist can boast multiple, highly successful events and tours like Luke including his Spring Break and Farm Tour tours, Crash My Playa events in Mexico (the eighth event sold-out just last week!), his on- going headline engagements at the Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas and his yearly headline tours which have often included sold-out stadium shows. In fact, Luke has played for more than 13+ million fans since he began headlining in 2011.

The tour is aptly named after Luke’s 30 th  #1 single, “Country On,” which hit the top spot on the country singles charts just before Christmas 2022 and helped him amass a career tally of 56 total weeks at #1.

Luke Bryan Bringing Farm Tour Back To Minnesota + Wisconsin

• Share on Facebook
• Share on Twitter

Luke Bryan isn't slowing down anytime soon! Despite a tour that kicks off later this year, he just announced another handful of tour dates for his annual farm tour! The tour takes him to small towns across the country that he wouldn't usually go to given his superstar stadium status.

He shared the new dates Wednesday morning (April 26th), writing that these annual tour dates are his 'favorite' of the year, which is saying something considering how many cities he goes to every year.

He will be in both Minnesota and Wisconsin for the 2023 Farm Tour. He will be in Brooklyn, Wisconsin on Friday, September 22nd. That show will be at Klondike Farms. The following night, he will be in Eyota, Minnesota, which is about four hours from the Twin Ports at Gar-Lin Dairy LLC.

If you are a member of Luke's fan club, you get presale tickets beginning on Monday, May 1st. Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Thursday, May 4th at 10 a.m. He will also be headed to farms in Kentucky, Iowa and Ohio. A portion of proceeds will benefit people in need.

This is the latest thing Luke has added to his already busy schedule! He is on  American Idol  and just extended his Las Vegas residency, with new dates added for August and September. He will also go on a separate tour later this year, which will be headed to Minnesota in October.

Luke will take the stage at the Xcel Energy Center on Saturday, October 14th. Openers include Chayce Beckham, Conner Smith, Hailey Whitters and DJ Rock. The show will be part of the Country On Tour, which was announced back in January. Hopefully, he gets a nap in before all of these tour dates!

Speaking of tours, we keep track of all the major tours and shows coming to Duluth, Superior and Minnesota in general with our online concert calendar. Upcoming shows include Jon Pardi at Bayfront Festival Park and the annual Grand Country Nights festival in August.

Luke Bryan heads to pastures outside of Minnesota for the 2024 Farm Tour

• Oops! Something went wrong. Please try again later. More content below

May 15—EYOTA, Minn. — After two planned years of Luke Bryan 's Farm Tour in Eyota, the country superstar will not return to Minnesota this year.

His Farm Tour, from Sept. 21 to 28, will include performances in Marshville, North Carolina, Shelbyville, Kentucky, Millersport, Ohio, and Smithton, Pennsylvania. Tickets are available on the Luke Bryan website with the show in Smithton already sold out.

"Time to get your boots and those farmer's tans ready y'all: our 15th #FarmTour will be hitting the fields this fall," Bryan shared in a Facebook post. "I'm excited to bring out Conner Smith, Tucker Wetmore, The Peach Pickers with Rodney Clawson, and DJ ROCK while we party and honor the American Farmer."

The Farm Tour honors farmers and fights hunger in local communities. The shows partner with Bayer and Feeding America to donate meals and raise funds for food banks and local farmers. At the Gar-lin Dairy Farm in Eyota, students from Dover-Eyota Public Schools fundraised with event parking for the Spanish club's trip to Ecuador in 2022. Two years ago, Bryan scheduled six farm shows and in 2023 there were five shows.

The closest Bryan will come to Minnesota on his Mind of a Country Boy Tour is Des Moines, Iowa, on Aug. 24, Chicago, Illinois, on Aug. 25 and Somerset, Wisconsin, on Sept. 5.

Bryan's Farm Tour stop in Eyota was canceled due to weather in 2023. The Farm Tour said in an announcement at the time, "The safety of each of you is our first concern and we do not want to jeopardize that in any way. We love Farm Tour and all of you who support these shows and the American Farmer."

On a cold and windy Saturday in September 2022, Bryan fans grooved with blankets wrapped around themselves. The open field was packed with 20,000 people. He performed hits including "I Don't Want This Night to End," "Huntin', Fishin' and Lovin' Every Day" and "Country On." The Allen family of the Gar-lin Dairy Farm were honored on stage with a check from Bayer.

Bryan also praised Caledonia native Abby Blake for her audition on this season's American Idol. Blake exited the show with a strong performance during Hollywood Week.

LUKE BRYAN BRINGING HIS FARM TOUR 2022 TO EYOTA, MINNESOTA

Written by tony schultz on april 29, 2022.

Luke Bryan’s Farm Tour started in 2009 to give back to the local farming communities, with proceeds from the tour going to charities and creating scholarships for students of farmers. This year he’ll be bringing it to Eyota, MN which is situated between St. Charles and Rochester along Highway 14. Luke grew up as the son of a peanut farmer and he knows how hard it can be for the American Farmer. Luke even still teaches his kids about a hard day’s work with 15 acres he teaches them to work. The concert will be at Gar-Lin Dairy which is a few miles south of town. It’s pretty cool to have a show this big and with a purpose come to the area. Tickets go on sale May 5th. Click the picture for more information.

“Time to get your boots and those farmer’s tans ready y’all,” he captioned a post announcing the Farm Tour 2024 dates: September 21, 26, 27, and 28.

This year’s Farm Tour is taking Luke and his crew—as well as special musical guests Conner Smith and Tucker Wetmore—to two brand-new stops: Huggins Store in Marshville, North Carolina, and Cunningham Family Farm in Smithton, Pennsylvania, as well as to Mulberry Orchard in Shelbyville, Kentucky, and Miller Family Farm in Millersport, Ohio. Two more tour dates will be announced soon.

Per usual, Luke's fans are stoked to have fun in a field this fall. "You’re finally bringing the farm tour to NC!!!! Yay," one fan commented on his post. "We will be ready for you!!🤠❤️ Can’t wait," someone else exclaimed. "I live in Marshville, this is going to be an epic day. Randy Travis Music Festival and Luke Bryan on the same day," someone else marveled.

Back in 2023, Luke, the son of a peanut farmer, shed a little light on the reason behind his Farm Tours.

“One of the reasons we created these Farm Tour shows—to bring the big-city tour to the people," he revealed in a statement. "These nights are one-of-a-kind, and we really enjoy getting to know the farmers and their families, love the whole atmosphere of playing on these incredible farms and watching entire communities come together and get excited about these shows."

It’s not solely about the music, though. Luke donates college scholarships to farming family students enrolled in the town’s local college or university on each Farm Tour stop. Since the tour’s inception in 2009, he has awarded 83 college scholarships to students with a connection to the tour stops.

But that’s not all. Luke also urges his fans to flock to social media to share #HeresToTheFarmer. For each mention, Bayer (the Farm Tour partner since 2015) donates a meal to someone in need via Feeding America. Since they began working together, Luke and Bayer have donated over 8 million meals. (Psst: You can get in on the giveback fun by sharing on your socials now through October 31.)

Now the only question is: Which farm will you be visiting this fall?

Red Bull’s stumbles give F1 a flicker of hope for a 2024 championship fight

Through the post-race delirium of his maiden Monaco Formula One victory , Charles Leclerc felt slightly disappointed for one brief moment.

“It’s just 31 points between you and Max in the championship now,” said the FIA press conference host.

“Oh, is it 31?” asked Leclerc, pausing as he digested that news. “Somebody told me 23, so I was excited.” That somebody was Leclerc’s race engineer, Bryan Bozzi, who had got his numbers slightly wrong on the radio after the race. A 23-point gap would have put Leclerc within one race win of taking the lead.

“But 31 is OK,” Leclerc added. “I’ll take it anyway.”

A big gap still separates Max Verstappen from the rest of the F1 field at the top of the drivers’ championship. But considering how dominant the Red Bull looked at the start of the season , for it to be only 31 points at this point is a surprise.

After eight races last year, Verstappen was 69 clear. In the constructors’ championship, Red Bull’s advantage has dropped from 154 points to 24 year-on-year.

It offers a flicker of hope that maybe, just maybe , despite what most everybody thought coming into this season , F1 could have some kind of championship fight in 2024.

Where Red Bull has been hurting

The past three races have not been easy for Red Bull. Gone is the 15-second average margin of victory that Verstappen enjoyed early in the year. Yes, there was an element of fortune in Lando Norris’s Miami win , and both Imola and Monaco have characteristics that hit the weak points of the RB20’s design philosophy, chiefly its ride over curbs and bumps.

Some brilliance from Verstappen meant he could stave off the McLaren threat to take pole and the win at Imola, but there was no saving him in Monaco, where the car’s weaknesses really hit home.

Verstappen said after qualifying sixth on Saturday in Monaco that Red Bull had a “fundamental problem” that had existed since 2022 when the new generation of cars was introduced. “For the last few years, we had a car advantage, and it gets masked a little bit,” he said.

Red Bull’s sole defeat last year in Singapore was a similar story. It spent the entire weekend off the pace, causing Verstappen to drop out in Q2 and recover to fifth in the race as Carlos Sainz scored victory for Ferrari.

Much as its struggles at Interlagos in 2022 were a wake-up call that helped improve the performance of its car through the mix of corner speeds, Red Bull wanted to take the lessons from Singapore and hit that street track weakness.

How Red Bull built the RB19, F1's most dominant car ever

“Well (it) was supposed to be,” Verstappen said on Saturday, “but (it) didn’t happen.”

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner said there would be “quite a lot of focus” on the ride issue off the back of Monaco. He pointed out that the sister RB team was running the suspension used on last year’s Red Bull car and didn’t seem to have any issues.

“There’s a long way to go,” Horner said. “We’ve never taken anything for granted in the championship.”

The closing pack

Red Bull’s off-season claim that it was finding “diminishing returns” with the design of its RB20 car was always taken with a pinch of salt, particularly in light of its early-season dominance after pursuing a radical new design direction. But the past three races have suggested the gap at the front has narrowed.

Imola and Monaco proved the performance step from McLaren’s Miami upgrade was not track-specific. Oscar Piastri pointed out that after finishing second in Monaco, there had been “three very different circuits in the past three races, and we’ve been competitive at all of them.” It’s given him hope of staying in that lead battle for the rest of the year. “I think we can definitely be in the fight every weekend,” he said.

Then came Ferrari’s Imola upgrade package, which didn’t really bear fruit until Monaco, where Leclerc’s superb Q3 lap kept him clear of Piastri in the all-important qualifying session. Leclerc said after the race he felt Ferrari’s “turning point” came a few races ago and that Monaco showed that if the team was in a position to win a race, it now could.

Both Leclerc and teammate Sainz were reluctant to say they were properly in the fight against Red Bull now. Leclerc noted how specific a track Monaco can be and that it was “still too early on in the season” to think about the championship. “The upgrades that we have brought in Imola, we have still to see how well they work and where it will bring us,” Leclerc said. “Then it’s all about maximizing all weekends, and then hopefully, little by little, we’ll get there.”

Ever the realist, Sainz added: “My common sense tells me that on normal tracks, Red Bull should still be favorites. Not domination, like we were seeing, hopefully not. But favorites, yes.”

The next race in Montreal may also be difficult to read, given the street-esque nature of the circuit and its slow-speed corners. But come the run of European races through the summer in Spain, Austria, Great Britain, Hungary and Belgium, all on what Sainz referred to as “normal tracks”, a clearer picture should emerge.

The hope of competition

Following his boredom-filled run to sixth on Sunday, Verstappen admitted that a season like his “rare” 2023, in which he won 19 of 22 grands prix, may never be repeated.

“I always knew that this year was going to be a little bit different,” Verstappen said. “But also, I don’t really think about championship positions or whatever with so many races left. Some races are a bit better for us and some are a bit worse for us. At the end of the day, it all works out.”

So long as Red Bull’s ‘weak’ weekends still end up in a decent haul of points — or, as at Imola, even a victory — then Verstappen will have confidence in a successful title defense. Monaco is likely to be the outlier in his season, and for a swing of five-hundredths of a second in Q3, he’d have qualified third and been in line to finish on the podium.

What has changed is that Red Bull no longer has the safety net it enjoyed through last year or even in the early part of this season. For a team that has made its name for being super slick in its operations through the recent run of championships, that strength will now be more valuable than ever. One Verstappen DNF could reduce the points margin at the top to single digits, while there’ll also be greater significance to teammate Sergio Pérez’s performances with finer margins in the constructors’ championship — a title Verstappen could have won alone last year.

Verstappen still must be considered the heavy favorite for the title, given the health of the points buffer despite his recent setbacks. Much as he did through the summer races of last year when he went on a march of wins that firmly crushed Pérez’s fleeting belief he could fight for the title, a similar response would put Ferrari and McLaren back in their place.

However, with four winners in the first eight races and the smallest points gap at the top of the championship since 2022, F1 can already take some heart in the fact that the script has changed this year. We are no longer in the cycle of the hope of a close qualifying on Saturday being dashed by a Verstappen win on Sunday, which seemed inevitable through the bulk of last year. Now, there’s proper intrigue over the battle that unfolds at the front.

It may not last long. By the summer break, Verstappen might be back to winning races at a canter thanks to a step in performance from Red Bull. But for now, let’s cling to the hope that the lack of competition that made last season feel so rinse-and-repeat at times is a thing of the past.
