Country music star Luke Bryan is heading out on the road this summer and bringing his tour to Boston's Fenway Park.
Bryan made the announcement during a press conference in Nashville on Wednesday.
The July 5 stop at Fenway is one of 13 stadium stops for his "What Makes You Country Tour XL Stadium Sized."
The tour is named after Bryan's recently released album that debuted at number one on both the Billboard Top 200 and Top Country Albums charts. It became his third consecutive album to debut at number one on the Top 200 and his fifth number one debut on the Top Country Albums Chart.
Joining him on the tour will be Sam Hunt and Jon Pardi. Additional show openers include Morgan Wallen (May-August), Carly Pearce (September and October) and DJ Rock.
"My excitement to play these iconic sports stadiums is truly uncontainable," said Bryan. "Playing my music live is the reason I do what I do and the energy of the fans is what pushes me year after year to deliver a bigger and better experience. I'm so thankful to be in these venues and cities with some of the brightest names in country music. This lineup fires me up and I can't wait to get this tour started!"
