Luke Combs Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Luke Combs just matched country music history—tying Morgan Wallen for the most number one hits on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart in the last eight years, with his 19th chart-topper, “Back in the Saddle,” according to Backstage Country. The single’s surge was fueled by clever marketing—NASCAR cameos, viral social media clips, and a fan-favorite behind-the-scenes video. “Back in the Saddle” could lead the way for his upcoming sixth studio album, set for early 2026, and continues to cement Combs’ reputation as one of the genre’s most reliable hitmakers, both as a singer and a storyteller—only his “Fast Car” cover, by Tracy Chapman, was not written by him, showing just how involved he is with every aspect of his music, as reported by Backstage Country.
On the touring front, Luke Combs’ team just announced a major expansion of his 2026 “My Kinda Saturday Night Tour,” adding stadium dates across North America and Europe due to overwhelming demand. Eagle Country 975 reports that Combs kicks off on March 21 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, with stops at iconic venues like Lambeau Field, Notre Dame Stadium, and Wembley Stadium. The tour now features multiple nights in Green Bay, Toronto, London, and a historic double-header at Ireland’s Slane Castle, making Combs the first artist ever to play consecutive nights at both Lambeau and Slane Castle. He teased, in an official statement, that by then he’ll be playing a lot of new music, and fans should expect a big, big year, according to Eagle Country 975.
But wait—there’s buzz building before the big tour. Luke took to social media just a few days ago to tease a “blockbuster announcement” coming on October 9—with fans and music insiders speculating everything from a world tour to a concert film, Hank FM reports. His Instagram posts show clips of performances over maps of the U.S., Canada, and Europe, hinting at an even more massive global reach. He’s also dropped hints about returning to London, and the cinematic quality of his latest teasers has some fans thinking a documentary might be in the works, but that’s pure speculation for now, according to Hank FM.
On the business side, Combs continues to expand his empire. He and Opry Entertainment Group just announced a major new venue, Category 10, in Las Vegas—a multi-level entertainment complex designed to be a destination for country fans, according to Caesars Entertainment’s press release. It’s part of a broader effort to make country music more visible in new markets, and it’s clear Combs wants to be more than a performer—he’s building a brand.
Combs has kept family life front and center, too. After a year away from a full-scale tour, reportedly to spend time with his wife Nicole and their two sons, with a third child on the way, Combs is ready to bring both dad life and music life to a bigger stage than ever before.
And finally, in just the last 24 hours, Backstage Country has confirmed that “Back in the Saddle” has officially taken the top spot on the Country Airplay chart, tying him with Wallen for the modern record—a major headline reminder that Combs isn’t slowing down, he’s speeding up.
