Country music fans were in for a spectacular treat last night as Luke Combs kicked off his massive stadium tour with an unforgettable opener at American Family Field. The packed venue, usually home to the Milwaukee Brewers, transformed into a country music paradise for the first of two nights, each with its own setlist and own lineup of opening acts. And Friday's performance set the tone for an exhilarating weekend.
Friday’s show featured an impressive lineup of talented supporting artists – including Cody Jinks, Charles Wesley Godwin and Wilder Blue, all who warmed up the crowd with their unique sounds, setting the stage for the “Fast Car” singer's highly anticipated set. With one of the biggest names in music choosing Milwaukee to kick off their new tour, we just had to bear witness to the evening and capture memorable moments from the show.
Check our some of our favorite images from night one of Luke Combs’ stadium tour kick-off at AmFam Field.
1. Entertainer of the Year
CMA’s two-time Entertainer of the Year proved why he is worthy of the title on Friday night, giving fans a reason to come back for night two on Saturday.
2. “Going, Going, Gone”
There was nothing “foul” about part one of Luke Combs’ AmFam Field takeover, as the “Going, Going, Gone” singer reminded us why ballparks are always a great setting for a concert.
3. Tip of the hat
Showing love to the home team, Combs sports a Milwaukee Brewers hat for the Wisconsin crowd.
4. Hitting all the notes
Not many country artists have pipes like Luke Combs. The 34-year-old’s vocal talents were on full display throughout the 25-song setlist.
5. Screaming fans
Combs hit the low notes while his screaming fans in the pit and throughout the packed stadium hit all the high ones. They screamed as he hit the stage and sang every song with him during the performance, which lasted just under two hours.
6. Say “cheese”
With so many cheeseheads in the crowd, how could you not smile if you’re Luke Combs?
7. Luke at all those fans
A sea of fans filled the AmFam Field on Friday night, with an even larger crowd expected on Saturday.
8. Two-run homer
Milwaukee’s tour opener is just one of many cities where Luke is scheduled to perform back-to-back performances, each with unique setlists and lineups. With one amazing show down and another to go, this weekend is a home run for any Wisconsin country fans.
9. Charles Wesley Godwin gets his money’s worth
One upping his tour headliner, opening artist Charles Wesley Godwin rocked a “Brew Crew” City Connect Brewers jersey on Friday, customized with all 12 letters of his last name.
10. Cody Jinks returns
Cody Jinks is less than a year removed from his performance at the Harley Davidson Homecoming music festival that hit Milwaukee’s lakefront this past summer. Fans were certainly excited to see him back, warming up the stage for Combs’ Friday night show.
