Luke Bryan will headline his thirteenth “Farm Tour” this September during a two-week break from his “Raised Up Right Tour,” which launches in June. Riley Green, Jameson Rodgers, the Peach Pickers, and DJ Rock are special guests on the shows.
The Georgia native will set up stages in the fields of local farmers across six states from Sept. 15-24, and two of the farms have never been played before. Tickets are on sale May 5 at LukeBryan.com.
“I look forward to these shows every year mainly because of the meaning behind them and why it was important to me to start the ‘Farm Tour’ thirteen years ago,” Bryan explains. “It has allowed communities who don’t normally get a concert in their areas to experience a fun night in their backyard all while lifting up the American farmer. Small town and farming pretty much sum up my childhood. It is my way of life and I know it is a way of life for so many. It is truly the highlight of my year for me and my whole team.”
Bayer is once again the presenting sponsor for the shows, teaming up with Bryan to fight hunger through its #HerestotheFarmer campaign. From June 1-Oct. 31, for every share Bayer will provide one meal to a person in need through Feeding America with the goal of helping to provide 1 million meals. Since the partnership’s inception, nearly five million meals have been donated and more than $180,000 has gone to Feeding America member food banks and local farmers at each of the tour cities.
Over 100,000 fans have attended the tour each year since its inception in 2009. Bryan will continue giving back to the farmers by awarding college scholarships to students from farming families who are attending the local college or university near the tour stops. To date, more than 60 scholarships have been granted.
