Country superstar Luke Bryan heading to Hertz Arena for Raised Up Right Tour

You’ve seen him on “American Idol” and heard him on hit songs such as “Play It Again,” “Drunk On You” and “That’s My Kind of Night.”

Now you can see and hear Luke Bryan in person when the country superstar returns to Hertz Arena.

Tickets for the Thursday, Sept. 29, concert start at $50 and go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday. Pre-sales start Tuesday for qualifying buyers.

The show is part of the just-announced Raised Up Right Tour, which kicks off June 9 in Charleston, West Virginia, and visits more than 30 U.S. cities. Bryan announced the tour Monday.

“My favorite place to be is on stage performing to country music fans,” Bryan said in a news release posted on his website. “So thankful every night when I walk out on that stage and know you are there to have a blast along beside me. It never gets old!”

The tour gets its name from the chorus in Bryan’s new hit single, “Up.” It’s the sixth single from his album “Born Here Live Here Die Here.”

For the Hertz Arena show, Bryan will be joined by opening act Riley Green. Parking on site for the 7 p.m. concert is $25.

In addition to his country stardom, Bryan is well-known as an “American Idol” judge. He joined the show in 2018 and ended up being coach last season to Estero teenager Casey Bishop, who placed fourth on the show.
