Now that's how you gear up for a tour announcement. Luke Combs and his team have been sprinkling easter eggs and cryptic clues across our Instagram feeds over the past few days, hinting at which artists will be opening for him and which venues he will be travelling to as part of his forthcoming My Kinda Saturday Night Tour.
The full run of shows is yet to be officially unveiled, with the announcement set to drop on Thursday, October 9th at 9am ET (2pm BST), but we've been piecing together all the thinly veiled teasers, and we've come up with a list of all the 2026 openers and global tour-stops that have seemingly been confirmed so far.
Starting with the openers, a handful of artists have been sharing Luke Combs covers across socials with easter eggs in the background hinting at which shows they'll be at.
First, we got Thomas Rhett performing ‘Better Together’ in an England FC jersey, indicating he'll be opening for Combs at Wembley Stadium. Soon after, the official Wembley page shared a brief clip featuring Combs’ signature skull and beard logo.
Then, Dierks Bentley joined in on the fun, uploading a cover of Combs’ ’When It Rains It Pours’ with a Tennessee Volunteers helmet in the background. Neyland Stadium - the home of the Vols - have shared a similar video to Wembley, seemingly confirming Combs will be performing at Neyland in 2026, with Bentley due to open. It will mark the first concert here since Morgan Wallen's show last year.
Then, pop-rock band The Script surprised followers by sharing a video of their frontman, Danny O’Donoghue, covering Combs’ iconic hit, ‘Beautiful Crazy’. This clip contains more easter eggs than any of the others, with O’Donoghue performing in three different jerseys and in front of three different pubs throughout the video.
First, he dons a Netherlands FC shirt and stands in front of De Hems - a famous Dutch pub in London - before he transitions into a Germany FC jersey with a German beer-garden, Bermondsey Bierkeller, serving as the backdrop. Lastly, the ‘Breakeven’ singer-songwriter performs in an Ireland jersey in front of the much-loved Connolly's Bar in Chiswick, an Irish pub. As well as implying The Script will be opening for Combs in Holland, Germany and Ireland, the fact that all of these pubs are based in London, UK could imply that the band will also be joining Thomas Rhett as Combs’ openers for his momentous Wembley Stadium show.
As well as The Script, Dierks Bentley and Thomas Rhett, Ty Myers has shared a cover of Luke Combs’ This One's For You deep-cut, ‘I Got Away with You’. There's a Las Vegas Raiders helmet on a shelf behind him, signalling Myers will be opening for Combs at Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium next year. The official Allegiant Stadium Instagram page has shared a teaser video with Combs’ logo lit up on the top of the venue, seemingly confirming our suspicions that he'll be playing here in 2026.
Since then, we've been treated a clip from John Teskey of The Teskey Brothers performing Combs’ ‘Ain't No Love in Oklahoma‘, suggesting they will be one of the openers, as well as a cover of ‘Fast Car’ by Thelma & James. The latter have a couple of helmets in front of them, seemingly belonging to the University of Virginia Cavaliers and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish respectively, indicating Thelma & James will be opening up Combs’ shows at Scott Stadium and Notre Dame.
A host of other venue pages on Instagram have joined in on the teasing, including a range of iconic European stadiums and sites, such as Scotland's Murrayfield Stadium, Ireland's Slane Castle, France’s Accor Arena and Sweden's Ullevi.
For the full list of venues so far that have teased a 2026 Luke Combs show, see below:
- Allegiant Stadium - Las Vegas, Nevada
- Wembley Stadium - London, UK
- Jack Trice Stadium - Ames, Iowa
- Murrayfield Stadium - Edinburgh, Scotland
- Slane Castle - County Meath, Ireland
- Accor Arena - Paris, France
- Ullevi - Gothenburg, Sweden
- Neyland Stadium - Knoxville, Tennessee
- Lambeau Field - Green Bay, Wisconsin
- Notre Dame Stadium - Notre Dame, Indiana
- Carl Smith Center (Scott Stadium) - Charlottesville, Virginia
- Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium - Norman, Oklahoma
- Nationwide Arena - Columbus, Ohio
It's worth underlining that we're expecting there to be Canada dates announced too, with the Luke Combs HQ fan-page - which is run by Combs’ team - hinting that his My Kinda Saturday Night Tour will span North America, Canada and Europe in their initial teaser video, which included these three continent outlines.
We anticipate that today (Wednesday, October 8th) a few more artists and venues will join in on the teasing, ahead of the eagerly awaited announcement the following day.
Either way, it's safe to say the excitement is through the roof, with Combs and his team expertly managing the rollout so far. Over the past couple of years, the ‘Hurricane’ hitmaker has lost his country crown to Morgan Wallen, and has slipped down the pecking order behind Zach Bryan. Now, judging by the scale of this 2026 tour and the prospect of another album arriving in tandem with this, it looks like Combs is setting out to reassert his dominance over the country landscape.
