Country star Luke Bryan coming to Orlando on summer tour
Country superstar Luke Bryan is hitting the road on an upcoming summer tour, stopping in 30 cities across the nation.
The award-winning musician makes a return visit to Orlando's Kia Center on June 13 on his newly-announced 'Country Song Came On Tour.' Bryan will be joined by special guests George Birge, Ashland Craft and Adrien Nunez.
During his music career of more than two decades, Bryan has garnered 31 number-one singles, 22.6 billion global streams and the title of 'Entertainer of the Year' by the Academy of Country Music Awards three times and the Country Music Association twice. Known for hits such as 'Play It Again' and 'Country Girl (Shake It For Me),' Bryan has played for nearly 15 million fans.
The 'Country Song Came On Tour' launches shortly after Bryan's first West Coast dates in California in May. These concerts land ahead of the 2025 season finale of ABC's 'American Idol,' where Bryan will serve as a celebrity judge for an eighth year alongside Lionel Richie and Carrie Underwood.
Tickets for the star's upcoming summer tour go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Feb. 28. Pricing is subject to 'market demand.' For more information, visit kiacenter.com or lukebryan.com.

A 'Home Improvement' Clip Is Going Viral For Exposing Just How Backwards We Have Gone As A Society
JIM WATSON / AFP via Getty Images ABC Photo Archives / Disney General Entertainment Content via Getty Images For reference, "Home Improvement" followed the life of DIY TV show host Tim Taylor, played by Tim Allen, his wife, Jill, and their three sons. It originally aired on ABC between 1991 and 1999. ABC via Disney+ 'I don't need Angela to make me a sandwich,' Tim tells Brad, who insists: 'She doesn't mind,' which Angela echoes. Tim reiterates: 'I don't need you to make me a sandwich, thanks. ABC via Disney+ ABC via Disney+ ABC via Disney+ ABC via Disney+ When Tim says that he does, Brad asks: 'And you think that's good?' and Tim reasons: 'Well, I don't know, it works for me… But maybe having Angela as your sandwich girl works for you, your whole life is sandwiches!' ABC via Disney+ Since being posted to TikTok, this clip has been liked almost 200k times, and racked up thousands of comments — with many of them saying the same thing. 'this would be called woke today,' a popular comment reads. Somebody else echoed: 'They tried to do a story like this these days MAGA would call it 'woke' and call for a boycott of everyone involved.' 'Funny how back then the audience would have perceived the dad as a 'good man', whereas now the same audience would call him 'woke/soft/leftist,'' another user added. 'now you would have 300 guys complaining it's woke,' one more agreed, while somebody else observed: 'It's almost like 'wokeness' that people keep referring to has always been there, it just wasn't wrapped up in inflated egos fueled by political rhetoric.' And one more concluded: 'I got so many of my lessons in being a man from 90s sitcoms. Just human lessons, not activists lessons.'
