Luke Bryan is Headed to the Quad Cities This Summer

2026 is going to be a busy year for country superstar Luke Bryan! Not only is he preparing for the new season of American Idol, which debuts next Monday, January 26th, but he's also headed out on tour!

Is the Tour Coming to Iowa?

This morning (January 23rd), Luke Bryan announced his Word on the Street Tour, and although it's not *technically* an Iowa show, we're happy to report that there's a stop nearby. Luke's new tour will take over Vibrant Arena in Moline on Friday, July 10th, 2026.

Who's Opening?

Luke Bryan is bringing some new and established country artists out on tour with him this summer. The lineup includes Shane Profitt, Lauren Watkins, and Raelynn.

Shane Profitt is a country newcomer who has already found some chart success. His debut EP Maury County Line was released in 2022, and with it came Shane's first hit single “How It Oughta Be.” His current radio single "Long Live Country" is making its way up the charts.

Nashville-native Lauren Watkins is another up-and-comer in country music, with her first album, The Heartbroken Record, arriving in June of 2024. Her latest release, titled In A Perfect World, just dropped in October of 2025.

And finally, we have RaeLynn, a name you probably recognize! RaeLynn was introduced to the world during season two of The Voice as a member of Team Blake. Although she didn't win the season, RaeLynn still went on to sign a record deal in 2012, and released her debut single "God Made Girls" to country radio in 2014. She has continued to make music over the last decade, and was most recently an opener on Jason Aldean's Full Throttle Tour in 2025.
