Country star Bryan announces 2019 Farm Tour dates

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – As four-time Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan prepped final details for his “Sunset Repeat Tour” that launched in Philadelphia at the BB&T Pavilion Friday, he announced more touring plans for this fall. His 11th consecutive Farm Tour is set to play in the harvest fields of six never-before-played farms from Sept. 26-Oct. 5 where Luke will set up stages in the fields of local farmers across several states.

“The idea behind this tour is to bring full-production concerts to small towns that would not see larger scale shows,” Brian said in a news release. “Growing up in rural Georgia, we had to drive to larger cities to see concerts. It is so exciting to watch each of these shows being built like a small city in itself in the empty pastureland of these farms. We can feel the pride from the people in these towns as well as the farmers, and it takes everyone coming together to pull them off.”

Tickets for “Bayer Presents Luke Bryan Farm Tour 2019” go on sale Thursday at 10 a.m. local time at www.lukebryan.com/FarmTour.

Sponsor Bayer will continue its #HeresToTheFarmer campaign. For every hashtag share, Bayer will donate a meal to a hungry American through Feeding America. Over the past few years, close to 3 million meals have been donated and more than $180,000 went to area food banks and local farmers in each of the tour cities.
