Luke Combs has been on tour playing stadiums full of people, and it's a lot to comprehend for the modest superstar from North Carolina.

Luke told us about playing the biggest venues in the last year, "This last year playing stadium shows has been pretty wild. Honestly, it's an indescribable feeling, and hopefully, I get to do it for a whole lot longer. Yeah, there's really nothing like it."

Combs posted several images of his crew setting up at Atlanta's Mercedes Benz stadium a few weeks ago before his show there on his Insta stories and included a time-lapse set of his skull head backdrop and stage.

During the Atlanta show, he granted one girl's TikTok dream on stage in front of the 60,000 fans in attendance, by making a TikTok video with her.

Luke Combs is getting ready to release his latest album, Growing Old, later this month (3/24), and then he kicks off his world tour, which will play stadiums all over the world. That is not bad for a guy who studied criminal justice in college just over ten years ago.

As his country star continues to rise, Luke became a new dad in July of last year (2022) and has been busy helping out his wife Nicole take care of his son Tex. He also performed as a multiple nominee at the Grammy Awards show in February (2/5).

Combs celebrates his 33rd birthday today (3/2), and to honor him; we rank his 16 biggest and best songs.
