Breaking more attendance records… this time overseas, and not just at one venue… this one goes for an entire region.
Luke Combs has already broke records stateside on his My Kinda Saturday Night tour, and in may, he marked his third record-breaking concert when he made a stop at Ohio Stadium (home of the Ohio State Buckeyes) in Columbus, Ohio, as the concert drew 97,367. Then at the beginning of this month, Combs set up shop at Rocky Top, and broke Garth Brooks’ standing record when 92,045 attended his show at Neyland Stadium.
And after his two night stop at the historic Green Bay venue on May 15 and 16, he collected yet another attendance record, as he drew a total of 92,540 fans across two nights
The Packers excitedly shared through a press release that the country music superstar now boasts the title of highest attended concert in Lambeau Field history:
“Luke Combs drew a crowd of 51,981 fans to Lambeau Field on Saturday, May 16, during his ‘My Kinda Saturday Night Tour,’ marking the highest attendance for a concert by a single artist in stadium history.
Combined with Friday night’s attendance of 40,559, the two shows drew a total of 92,540 fans. The concerts also marked the first time Lambeau Field hosted back-to-back shows by the same artist over a single weekend.”
And his show at Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg, Sweden marked another record-setting concert, as it became the largest country music crowd ever in the Nordic region, with 60,826 fans attending the show, according to Country1037.
The show happened on the Fourth of July, which was of course a huge deal back here in the states as we celebrated America’s 250th birthday, and they apparently went all-out there, too with patriotic decorations and a lot of the fans wearing red, white and blue… pretty cool. This was Luke’s first-ever concert in Gothenburg, and I have to imagine it was one he’ll remember forever.
It’s cool to see just how big country music is right now, with Combs selling out huge stadiums both here in the United States and throughout Europe and other regions. This tour has been very successful for him, and I
A photographer named Richard who attended the show shared some photos from the night, which featured a massive honky tonk bar set up on stage (which looks strikingly similar to Coyote Joe’s in his home state of NC, and I’m sure that was no mistake… I’m here for it), and he had high praise for how incredible it all was:
Country music has always been pretty popular in other countries, but it seems to be growing overseas as much as it is here, and that’s thanks in large part to Combs’ own influence on the genre since he burst onto the scene with “Hurricane” back in 2016.
Luke will head to Amsterdam, Netherlands to play Johan Cruijff Arena tomorrow, before finishing out the European tour in Ireland and the UK.
