A matter of hours after Luke Combs teased something major was coming on October 9th, Thomas Rhett has shared a cover of Combs’ ‘Better Together’. The ‘T-Shirt’ hitmaker has added the same date, October 9th, in the caption for his new video, with Combs’ official fan-page, Luke Combs HQ, resharing the clip on Instagram.
Crucially, in the video, Rhett is donning a classic Umbro England FC jersey, which has us wondering if Combs and TR are teaming up for a blockbuster Wembley Stadium show.
Adding weight to this is the fact that, last night, Combs hinted at a tour announcement coming on October 9th, with the North Carolina native sharing a highlights reel from his 2025 run of shows, before confirming what's next would be even bigger.
His Luke Combs HQ page shared their own version of this teaser trailer, which featured map-shaped clues suggesting he'd be touring the US, Canada and Europe in 2026.
This suggests he will almost definitely be coming back to the UK next year, and with Combs having already sold out two nights at the O2 Arena in 2023, surely Wembley Stadium is in his crosshairs - particularly given TR's not-so-subtle hint with the England shirt. Wembley, of course, is the home of the England football team.
What's more, now Dierks Bentley has gotten involved in all the cryptic fun, too, with the ‘She Hates Me’ crooner sharing a cover of Combs’ iconic anthem, ‘When It Rains It Pours’, and adding the October 9th date to the caption, much like Rhett.
With Bentley not dropping any clues relating to England or Wembley, we suspect he might be an opener on one of the other legs - perhaps the US or Canada, for instance.
We're keeping our eyes peeled to see if any other artists join in, as Combs seemingly building a truly titanic, Avengers-style crew of opening acts ahead of his 2026 tour.
