Luke Bryan’s ‘Kill The Lights’ Goes Platinum

Luke Bryan‘s album, Kill The Lights, has been certified platinum by the RIAA. In August 2015, Bryan debuted the album at No. 1 on both the Billboard 200, his third consecutive album to do so. Kill The Lights contains “Home Alone Tonight” featuring Karen Fairchild of Little Big Town, as well as the singles “Kick the Dust Up” and “Strip It Down.”

On Thursday (Feb. 18), Bryan will launch his 2016 Kill The Lights Tour at the Ford Center in Evansville, Indiana. He’ll perform nearly 70 concerts across the U.S. before wrapping this fall.

Dustin Lynch, who is Bryan’s Kill The Lights Tour opener, will perform his new single, “Mind Reader,” on NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers, airing Wednesday (Feb. 17) at 11:35 p.m. CT.

Lynch is the only artist Bryan has handpicked as an opener for a second time, and will join Bryan on the Kill The Lights Tour when it opens at Evansville, Indiana’s Ford Center on Feb. 18.
