The Georgia native took to Facebook for the tour announcement saying: “I look forward to playing small towns while lifting up the American farmer.”

With the shows, Bryan will aid his #HeresToTheFarmer campaign he started with Bayer in 2015. The initiative strives to provide one meal to a person in need through Feeding American for every use of the hashtag.

Bryan selected a host of special guests for the tour – Riley Green, Jameson Rodgers, The Peach Pickers, and DJ Rock.

The unique shows will take place during a two-week break in Bryan’s larger “Raised Up Right Tour.” Stops include Monroeville, IN; Murdock, NE; Mechanicsburg, OH; Boone, IA; Fowlerville, MI; and Eyota, MN.

Since its inception in 2009, over 100,000 fans have attended the farm tour. Bryan also awards scholarships to students from farming families who are attending the local college or university near the tour stops. More than 60 scholarships have been awarded so far.

“It has allowed communities who don’t normally get a concert in their areas to experience a fun night in their backyard all while lifting up the American farmer,” Bryan shared in a statement. “Small town and farming pretty much sum up my childhood. It is my way of life and I know it is a way of life for so many. It is truly the highlight of my year for me and my whole team.”

General admission tickets will be on sale from tomorrow (May 5) with exclusive pre-sale tickets available now. You can check out more information on the tour, HERE .

Bryan will spend the rest of the summer on his “Raised Up Right Tour, which is set to kick off on June 9 in Charleston, West Virginia, and end in Jacksonville, Florida on October 28.

Luke Bryan Reflects on 10 Years of His Farm Tour

Luke Bryan  celebrated the 10th anniversary of his Farm Tour this year when the six-city trek kicked off on Thursday (Sept. 27). While's he's already hinted at some of the surprises he has planned for the trek, he admits that he never imagined the tour to last a decade.

"I never expected anything in my life to last 10 years," he says with a laugh during a recent press conference. "We've always tried to come up with fun ideas and incorporate my music and let the music dictate tours."

Bryan says he's learned a lot about touring from slowly growing his annual trek. In the early years of Farm Tour, he didn't visit the Midwest. Now, he's bringing the tour through the area and loving every minute of it.

"We've learned that we can be almost [be] like a legitimate traveling circus, and we can move this thing around and touch different corners of the country. The fact that we're 10 years in is a testament to our partners and my team and the fans that seem to really, really enjoy having us come to these small, rural areas," he adds.

When Bryan was a kid living on a peanut farm in ‎Leesburg, Ga., he says no major tours ever came through his small town. Now, he's reading headlines where some of the small towns and communities he's visiting for his Farm Tour shut down school and move football games to accommodate the show.

"The fact that hopefully I can be a big, fun, positive experience to a small, rural town—it's so fun for us and puts a big smile on our face," he says. "We're coming to these land owners' farms, when I'm able to meet the farmer or the family of the farmer. I can relate so much to these families.

"Being a farmer is one of the trickiest, toughest jobs on planet Earth," he continues. "I remember the struggles that my dad and so many of his business partners had through the years. Watching the farmers enjoy a night of music on their farm is pretty special."

Luke Bryan Announces 2022 Farm Tour Dates and Locations

Luke Bryan 's Farm Tour is officially coming back in 2022. The country music star is partnering with Bayer for the thirteenth annual tour that will take place at six different family farms this fall.

The tour kicks off in Indiana and will take Bryan to Ohio, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, and Michigan. Riley Green, Jameson Rodgers, the Peach Pickers , and DJ Rock will all be joining as openers. The Farm Tour is an important initiative for the Nashville superstar who grew up on a farm in Georgia. It's a special opportunity for Bryan to honor farmers as well as give his fans the chance to come together and do the same. It's also a great way to bring big concerts to small communities that don't usually get that kind of attention. Bringing a CMA and ACM Entertainer of the Year winner to promote the everyday farmer? It's a wonderful idea, which is probably why it's become so popular over the years.

View this post on Instagram A post shared by Luke Bryan Official (@lukebryan)

"I look forward to these shows every year mainly because of the meaning behind them and why it was important to me to start the Farm Tour thirteen years ago," Bryan shares in a press release. "It has allowed communities who don't normally get a concert in their areas to experience a fun night in their backyard all while lifting up the American farmer. Small town and farming pretty much sum up my childhood. It is my way of life and I know it is a way of life for so many. It is truly the highlight of my year for me and my whole team."

Bryan and Bayer will be using the hashtag #HeresToTheFarmer as part of a social media campaign from June through October. Bayer will be donating meals to those in need through Feeding America whenever the hashtag is shared. Tickets for the 2022 Farm Tour will go on sale on Thursday, May 5 on Bryan's website at 10 AM local time. Tour dates and locations are below.

Luke Bryan Announces Farm Tour 2023: ‘It’s My Favorite Time of Year’

luke bryan farm tour years

Luke Bryan is returning with another Farm Tour. The Georgia native will kick off his 14th Farm Tour on September 14 in Shelbyville, Kentucky, performing a total of five shows, wrapping up on September 23 in Eyota, Minnesota.

“It’s my favorite time of year,” Bryan writes on social media. “#FarmTour2023 will kick off in September. I can’t wait to get back in the fields, up close to the fans and honoring our American farmer. Nut House tickets go on sale Monday, May 1st at 10 AM local time. Public on sale is Thursday, May 4th at 10 AM local time.”

It’s my favorite time of year. #FarmTour2023 will kick off in September. I can’t wait to get back in the fields, up… Posted by Luke Bryan on  Wednesday, April 26, 2023

Not only does the Farm Tour allow Bryan to play in rural areas, whose residents may not otherwise be able to see him perform, but money raised from the concerts has provided 78 college scholarships to students from farming families to their local college or university near the tour stop. In addition, Bryan, along with Bayer, has provided an astonishing one million meals to Feeding America, and Farmland donated a truckload of protein to local food banks in each of the states that hosted the tour. Donations were also made to both the state’s FFA Association, as well as the national FFA organization.

“The Farm Tour has grown throughout the years. The fact that we can set a stage up in a hayfield or some kind of field and people flock to it is what I envisioned when I created Farm Tour, and to obviously help some kids with scholarships and stuff like that,” Bryan tells his record label . “But the Farm Tour has grown every year, and it’s always something we look forward to. It’s really an exciting time to be able to just be out on a farm on a fall night. Sometimes it’s cool and it’s perfect jacket weather, and everybody’s just enjoying music and having fun. And it’s happening in these little towns that have never gotten a show like this.

“So, it’s always fun knowing that I leave these little towns, and they can go, ‘Hey, we got to go party out in a field and hear a bunch of Nashville country music singers roll in,’ and give them a great show,” he adds. “So many great memories through the years.”

Tickets will be available to the general public beginning on Thursday, May 4. See a list of locations and dates below. Find more information at LukeBryan.com .

“The beauty of Farm Tour is we’re out there on the farm. We’re helping people feed Americans. We’re giving out scholarships,” says Luke. “You’ve got 20,000 people piling into an alfalfa field, corn field, hay field, it doesn’t matter. It’s a field. But when you put that many people out there in the Fall where the temps are kinda getting a little cool at night, nothing is more special than Farm Tour and that’s why I keep doing it year after year.”

The campaign supports Bayer’s vision of Health for All, Hunger for None and asks fans to join in by using #HerestotheFarmer on their social media channels now through November 30, 2023. As part of the initiative, Bayer will donate 1 million meals to people in need through Feeding America®. Since the partnership’s inception, 6 million meals have been donated and more than $180,000 has gone to Feeding America member food banks and local farmers at each of the tour cities.

Since 2009 when the Farm Tour began Luke has granted 78 college scholarships to students from farming families to their local college or university near the tour stops.

Luke Bryan is bouncing back after taking a tumble during a recent concert .

The country singer walked the carpet after Monday's American Idol, and he spoke with ET's Denny Directo about slipping and falling on stage while performing in Canada over the weekend.

"Ironically, last week, I was having back trouble to the point where I had to get a chiropractor to the room," Bryan, 47, recalled. "It's because I've been cycling. When I get to L.A., I love to go cycling around. I love it out here."

"[Anyway], so when I hit the ground, I was like, 'Oh!' The first thing [I thought] was, 'Oh god, all the work I did to get my back feeling better is out!'" Bryan added with a laugh.

The singer was playing a show in Vancouver, Canada, as a part of his Mind of a Country Boy Tour over the weekend, when he suddenly slipped and fell, coming down hard on his back .

The entertainer took the moment in stride and put up two thumbs up from his place on the floor, before sitting up and joking with the audience.

At the time, Bryan suggested that he'd slipped on a fan's phone -- but in reality, the Idol judge thinks it was likely something simpler -- and not anyone's fault.

"Everybody is reporting [about the] cellphone, but I was kind of hamming that up," Bryan said. "I don't think it was a cell phone. I think it was just slick."

"I need viral moments, you know? I need viral moments!" Bryan joked, explaining that it will help him promote his music. "My new single is 'Love You, Miss You, Mean It.' Now I gotta get the bumper sticker made -- 'I busted my ass and this is my new single.'"

As for Monday's new episode of American Idol , the field of contestants for season 22 was whittled down to the Top 10 -- meaning two talented stars were sent packing.

After a night filled with top-notch performances, fans had to bid farewell to Roman Collins and Jayna Elise. However, as Bryan explained to ET, that doesn't mean their music journeys are over.

"I think your journey in music is your journey. You still control it, you control how much you wake up every day and work and write and develop," Bryan shared. "I mean, I've seen people move to Nashville -- the best voices with all of the media and all the labels behind them -- but then, they don't go out and earn it."

"So, at the end of the day, I'm a product of the old fashion way: getting out and working my butt off. And Idol is your springboard to working your tail off," Bryan added. "There's no way around mental and physical exhaustion. There's just no way around it. You got to hit the ground running and you got to be mentally prepared for it."

American Idol airs Sundays and Mondays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC.

Luke Bryan Opens Up About His Onstage Fall: 'I Busted My Ass'

The "Buy Dirt" singer fell while performing at Vancouver's Coast City Country Festival on April 20

luke bryan farm tour years

Luke Bryan is opening up about his onstage fall.

While performing at the Coast City Country Festival in Vancouver, Canada, on Saturday, April 20, the country singer, 47, took a tumble after he thought he tripped over a fan’s phone.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet after the Monday, April 22 episode of American Idol , Bryan revealed that he had just had his back worked on before the fall.

“Ironically, last week, I was having back trouble to the point where I had to get a chiropractor to the room," the American Idol judge told the outlet.

Meanwhile, Bryan also said that he didn’t think it was a phone that caused the fall.

“Everybody is reporting [about the] cellphone, but I was kind of hamming that up," Bryan said. "I don't think it was a cellphone. I think it was just slick,” he said.

"I need viral moments, you know?" Bryan joked. "My new single is 'Love You, Miss You, Mean It.' Now I gotta get the bumper sticker made — 'I busted my ass and this is my new single.' "

He added to Extra , “What was funny was... when my feet went out from under me, I didn't really know what happened, and when I landed, I thought it was a cell phone. Then, when I look back at the tapes... I keep my water bottles down there, and I think a water bottle may have spilled. But whatever, it was slicker than a banana peel. Thankfully, it’s a cheap way to get a viral moment going.”

In a video shared by TMZ , Bryan appeared unhurt after the fall and immediately sat up with a grin on his face. 

"Hold up! Did anybody get that?" he said at the time. He then passed the object to a fan who was apologizing to him. "It's OK," he told the person, before joking, "My lawyer will be calling."

Luke Combs Breaks Attendance Records At Each Stop Of First Three Weekends On ‘Growin’ Up And Gettin’ Old’ Stadium Tour

luke bryan farm tour years

Luke Combs is doin’ it BIG.

The country superstar kicked off his headlining 2024 stadium tour at American Family Field in Milwaukee, Wisconsin back on April 12th, and has also played Highmark Stadium in Buffalo, New York and Beaver Stadium in University Park, Pennsylvania in subsequent weeks.

And today, it was revealed that he performed to record-breaking crowds during each of the first three weekends of the tour:

“He achieved the highest single-night and two-night attendance at Milwaukee’s American Family Field with 44,752 and 90,828 attendees, respectively, the highest two-night attendance at Buffalo’s Highmark Stadium with 99,671 attendees, and the highest-selling and highest-grossing concert at University Park, PA’s Beaver Stadium with 73,339 total attendees.”

I mean, just insane numbers and it’s only just the beginning of his extensive Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old trek, which also features multiple stops at Los Angeles’ SoFi Stadium, East Rutherford’s MetLife Stadium, Santa Clara’s Levi’s® Stadium and more.

The North Carolina native is also the most-nominated artist at this year’s ACM Awards, coming in with eight in total for the coveted Entertainer of the Year award, Male Artist of the Year, Album of the Year (Gettin’ Old, as artist and producer), Single of the Year (“Fast Car,” as artist and producer), Song of the Year (“Fast Car”) and Music Event of the Year (“Different Round Here” with Riley Green).

Mr. Combs is on an absolute tear right now, at the height of his career, and like I said, the tour is slated to run through August.
