Luke Bryan took to social media yesterday (1/16) to make some very exciting announcements (video below).
"We got a big year in store" Bryan says. His 7th studio album, Born Here, Live Here, Die Here, drops on April 24th. The album will be supported by the Proud to Be Right Here Tour, which kicks off in Cincinnati, OH, on May 28th.
Bryan also clued fans in to who will be joining him on tour.
"We've got some girl power comin' out," he says. Runaway June and up-and-comer Caylee Hammack will split dates, with Caylee playing the first half of the tour and Runaway June coming out for the second half.
Luke will be directly preceeded on stage, however, by Morgan Wallen. "Morgan has one of my favorite voices I've heard in a long, long time," says Bryan. The "Whiskey Glasses" singer previously joined Luke on his What Makes You Country Tour in 2018. "I hope my liver can handle it this year," Bryan jokes.
Fans might have been disappointed to see their city left off the list of tour dates, but Bryan reassured them that the list is far from complete. "We have some special surprises," Bryan says, "and we have a few stadium things we want to let you know about at a later date." Bryan also hints that more artists may be added to the tour's roster, but laments he doesn't want to "tell all (his) secrets" just yet.
Finally, Bryan makes use of the guitar he's been holding for the length of the video stream and gives fans a taste of the new album. In addition to the already popular "What She Wants Tonight," Bryan plays a little bit of the title track, "Born Here, Live Here, Die Here."
"We love you guys!" Bryan hollers. "We'll see you out on the road in 2020!"
