Luke Bryan announces 36-city 'Country On' tour with stops in Denver, Nashville, more

"Shaking It" while "Prayin' In A Deer Stand" will be the main order of business when mainstream country favorite Luke Bryan brings his 2023 "Country On" tour to Denver, Nashville, Cincinnati, Dallas, Orlando and more stops across the country.

Bryan's 36-city, Live Nation-produced "Country On Tour" kicks off on Jun. 15 in Syracuse, New York. Special guests on his tour include 2021 American Idol winner Chayce Beckham, 2023 CMT Next Women of Country class member Ashley Cooke and recent country radio chart-topper Jackson Dean, plus Tyler Braden, Jon Langston, Conner Smith, Alana Springsteen, Hailey Whitters, and DJ Rock.

Tickets for the shows go on sale Friday, Feb. 3 at 10 a.m. via Ticketmaster .

"Artists get into the business to make music and perform it for the fans," shared Bryan via a press release. "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."

More Luke Bryan: Country star apologizes for 'absurd' concert intro for Dustin Lynch: It 'was complete sarcasm'

Regarding his genre-redefining sound that has led to 30 chart-topping singles (the latest of which, "Country On," achieved that status before Christmas 2022), he told The Tennessean, part of the USA TODAY Network, in November 2022 that it reflected "a lot of fun stuff that the fans also enjoyed, [which] became very popular."

He reflected deeper and added, "[I] approach my career with a rock star mentality. Being 'rock 'n' roll' level enormous by selling out football stadiums on multiple nights – and reaching meteoric heights because of it – is the dream level of success [that I have achieved]."

Bryan just kicked off his 2023 touring year with the eighth edition of his sold-out "Crash My Playa" festival event in Quintana Roo, Mexico. Next for Bryan, before hitting the road from June-October 2023, is the continuation of his ongoing headline engagements at the Resorts World Theatre in Las Vegas. He's scheduled for 12 dates there between February and April.

Bryan is also one of three headliners -- alongside Kane Brown and Chris Stapleton -- at 2023's Stagecoach Festival in Indio, California, from April 28 – 30, 2023. It marks Bryan's fourth time headlining the event.

To E! Online, Bryan stated, "I look forward to playing [at Stagecoach]. The size and vibe of the crowd are so enormous. It's a highlight of my year. The festival's success is a testament to [the country music genre] and the fans out there. [Stagecoach Festival] proves that country music is thriving and offers something for everyone."

On Monday (Jan. 30), Bryan announced the Country On Tour , which kicks off in June and travels across the U.S. and Canada until September. The tour visits 36 cities, beginning on June 15 in Syracuse, New York, and passing through Portland, Oregon; Denver, Colorado; Nashville, Tennessee; Toronto, Canada; Orlando, Florida and other major cities before concluding on October 28 in Charleston, South Carolina.

Bryan is bringing a crew of up-and-coming country acts with him. Jackson Dean, Hailey Whitters, Conner Smith, Alana Springsteen, Chayce Beckham, Tyler Braden, Ashley Cooke, Jon Langston and DJ Rock will serve as rotating opening acts throughout the trek.

“Excited to announce the #CountryOnTour coming to a city near you!” the superstar shares on Twitter . “Some talented new artists are joining me.”

“Artists get into the business to make music and perform it for the fans,” he adds in a press release. “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.”

Set List: Luke Bryan’s Country On Tour

Luke Bryan has long been one of country music's biggest touring acts, and at his 2023 show Country On Tour, he's sharing the spotlight with up-and-coming artists (Tyler Braden, Ashley Cooke, and Hailey Whitters are just a few). “I was really excited to pack this tour with newer artists,” he tells Apple Music. “I remember being where they are, and being in a position to get their music to a broader reach is honestly so fun.” Bryan says this tour’s shows have been especially lively as more fans learn the words to “But I Got a Beer in My Hand,” a free-spirited ode to letting loose and having fun. “I create my set list with that [spirit] in mind,” he says. “No downtime. If we see fans are leaving for the bathroom or to get a drink, we cut that song. My shows are about having as much fun as possible.” Whether you're prepping for an upcoming show or reminiscing about one you recently attended, explore Bryan's Country On Tour set list and put yourself in the crowd.

Beyoncé’s Country Is America: Every Bit of It

On the bold, sprawling “Cowboy Carter,” the superstar plays fast and loose — and twangy — with genre.

• Share full article

By Jon Pareles

The first song on “Cowboy Carter,” Beyoncé’s not-exactly-country album, makes a pre-emptive strike. “It’s a lot of talking going on while I sing my song,” she observes in “Ameriican Requiem” over guitar strums and electric sitar, adding, “It’s a lot of chatter in here.”

That’s an acknowledgment that a pop superstar’s job now extends well beyond creating and performing songs. In the era of streaming and social media, Beyoncé knows that her every public appearance and utterance will be scrutinized, commented on, cross-referenced, circulated as clickbait and hot-taked in both good faith and bad. Every phrase and image are potential memes and hyperlinks.

It’s a challenge she has engaged head-on since she released her visual album “Beyoncé” in 2013. For the last decade, even as her tours have filled stadiums, she has set herself goals outside of generating hits. Beyoncé has deliberately made each of her recent albums not only a musical performance but also an argument: about power, style, history, family, ambition, sexuality, bending rules. They’re albums meant to be discussed and footnoted, not just listened to.

“Cowboy Carter” is an overstuffed album, 27 tracks maxing out the 79-minute capacity of a CD and stretching across two LPs. It flaunts spoken-word co-signs from Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton that interrupt its flow; it includes some fragmentary, minute-long songs. Its sprawl is its own statement of confidence: that even half-finished experiments are worth attention.

The “Cowboy Carter” album cover is an opening salvo, brandishing western and American symbols: Beyoncé holding an American flag while riding a white horse sidesaddle, with platinum-blond hair proudly streaming. In a red-white-and-blue outfit, high-heeled boots and a pageant sash that reads “Cowboy Carter,” she’s a beauty queen and a white-hatted heroine claiming her nation — her country, in both senses. The politics of her new songs are vague and glancing, but the music insists that every style is her American birthright. As a pop star it is: Pop has always breached stylistic boundaries, constantly exploiting subcultures to annex whatever might make a song catchier.

Beyoncé grew up in Texas, where country music has long mingled with styles from jazz to blues to hip-hop — and where, in fact, early cowboys were enslaved Black men . Beyoncé met a racial backlash when she performed “Daddy Lessons,” a country song from her 2016 album “Lemonade” about gun-toting self-defense, with the (then-Dixie) Chicks at the 2016 Country Music Association Awards. Presumably that’s what she alluded to when she wrote on Instagram that there was “an experience that I had years ago where I did not feel welcomed.”

She wasn’t daunted. Instead she pushed further, and the mere prospect of Beyoncé releasing a country album stirred things up. Even before its release, “Cowboy Carter” prompted reminders of country’s obscured Black roots — like the African origins of the banjo and the genre’s long cross-pollination with the blues — and pointed at, yet again, its historical exclusion of nonwhite performers, despite a handful of exceptions like Martell, Charley Pride and, more recently, Darius Rucker, Mickey Guyton and Kane Brown.

What Beyoncé drew from country is productions that feature hand-played instruments — guitars, keyboards, drums — rather than the programmed beats and glittering electronics that propelled her 2022 album “Renaissance,” which also had Beyoncé on horseback on the cover and was subtitled “Act I.” That album was Beyoncé’s time-warped, multilayered homage to the electronic dance music that emerged from Black gay subcultures. “Cowboy Carter,” subtitled “Act II,” also scrambles eras and styles, with samples, electronics and multitracked vocal harmonies unapologetically joining the guitars.

The advance singles from “Cowboy Carter” paired “16 Carriages,” a booming arena-country song about Beyoncé’s industrious career and artistic drive, with the foot-stomping, banjo-picking “Texas Hold ’Em,” about enjoying Texas-style good times away from home. “Texas Hold ’Em” seized No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, making Beyoncé the first Black woman to do so, and topped the all-genre Hot 100.

If Beyoncé had merely wanted to make mainstream country hits, she could have hired a seasoned Nashville producer and had her pick of expert Music Row songwriters. But “Cowboy Carter” has different aspirations, and Beyoncé brought her own brain trust, including producers known for hip-hop and R&B. “This ain’t a Country album. This is a Beyoncé album,” she wrote on Instagram. That’s true.

“Cowboy Carter” leans into its anticipated discourse, openly interrogating categories and stereotypes and pointedly ignoring formulas. With historical savvy, Beyoncé enlisted Linda Martell — the Black country singer whose 1970 album, “Color Me Country,” included the first charting country hit by a Black woman, “Color Him Father” — to provide spoken words. For the intro of “Spaghettii” — which features Beyoncé rapping — Martell says, “Genres are a funny little concept, aren’t they? Yes, they are. In theory, they have a simple definition that’s easy to understand. But in practice, well, some may feel confined.”

Beyoncé gathers young Black women currently striving for country careers — Brittney Spencer, Reyna Roberts, Tiera Kennedy and Tanner Adell — on a remake of the Beatles’ veiled civil-rights song, “Blackbird.” It’s a careful gesture, though it might have been more substantial to write a new song with them.

The album includes some understated, largely acoustic contenders for country or adult-contemporary radio play — notably “II Most Wanted,” a duet with Miley Cyrus that harks back to Fleetwood Mac’s “Landslide,” and “Levii’s Jeans,” a boast about being a “sexy little thing” that she shares with a besotted Post Malone. In the steady-thumping, Motown-tinged “Bodyguard,” Beyoncé plays an amorous, jealous but selfless partner in an uncertain romance. And in “Protector,” an acoustic-guitar lullaby, Beyoncé personifies a loving, supportive parent singing about “lifting you up so you will be raised.”

Beyoncé also reworks Parton’s “Jolene” — a country classic about a dangerous temptress — by turning it inside out. Where Parton’s 1973 original had her “begging” Jolene to stay away, in 2024 Beyoncé isn’t one to cede power. She starts out by “warning” Jolene and raises the threat level from there, reminding her target, “I know I’m a queen.”

Martell returns to introduce “Ya Ya,” explaining, “This particular tune stretches across a range of genres. And that’s what makes it a unique listening experience.” The song is a hand clapping, 1960s-flavored garage-rock stomp that samples Nancy Sinatra, quotes the Beach Boys and brandishes lines like “There’s a whole lot of red in that white and blue/History can’t be erased,” then moves on to dancing and lust. It’s not geared for any radio format. It’s just a romp.

It’s the odder, genre-fluid songs that give the album its depth. “Just for Fun” — a hymnlike duet with Willie Jones, a Louisiana songwriter who draws on country and R&B — plunges into Beyoncé’s somber low register as she sings, “I need to get through this/Or just get used to it.” “Riiverdance” deploys intertwined Celtic-tinged guitars and close-harmony backup vocals to sketch an enigmatic relationship that encompasses murder and resurrection and weekend seductions. And “II Hands II Heaven” is equally cryptic and celebratory; using an electronic pulse drawn from Underworld’s “Born Slippy (Nuxx),” it has Beyoncé and backup voices singing about whiskey, coyotes, God, sex and “Lost virgins with broken wings that will regrow.”

Beyoncé has been a stalwart of the full-length album, sequencing and juxtaposing songs in synergistic ways. But “Cowboy Carter” is a bumpier ride than “Renaissance,” “Lemonade” or “Beyoncé.” It suggests that Beyoncé wanted to pack all she could into one side trip before moving on elsewhere. Perhaps she’s already immersed in Act III.
