15th Farm Tour Wraps
NASHVILLE – (September 30, 2024) – Five-time Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan kicked off the album launch for Mind Of A Country Boy this morning with appearances on Good Morning America and GMA 3: What You Need To Know. Luke performed two songs from the new album, ‘Love You, Miss You, Mean It” and “Country Song Came On.”
During his visit with GMA Luke read the popular POP NEWS segment where he revealed the hosts of “The 58th Annual CMA Awards” on November 20 on ABC will be himself, Peyton Manning and Lainey Wilson. While in New York for American Idol taping days, he is also slated to perform on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon this Wednesday, October 2.
Over the weekend, Luke wrapped his 15th Farm Tour with a final concert in Smithton, Pennsylvania on Saturday night. More than 100,000 fans have attended the tour each year since its inception in 2009. Luke continues to give back to the farmers by awarding college scholarships to students from farming families who are attending the local college or university near the tour stops. To date, 84 scholarships have been granted. Presenting sponsor Bayer joined the tour in 2015 and have again teamed up with Luke to help celebrate America’s farmers and fight hunger through its #HerestotheFarmer campaign. The campaign supports Bayer’s vision of Health for All, Hunger for None and asks fans across the United States to share the hashtag #HerestotheFarmer on their social media channels to show their gratitude to America’s farmers. Through October 31, 2024, for every share, Bayer will provide one meal± to a person in need through Feeding America® with the goal of helping to provide 1 million meals. Since the partnership’s inception, 9 million meals have been donated to Feeding America member food banks. Building on a long history of donating vitamins and other nutritional supplements to the Feeding America network of Food Bank partners, this year, Bayer will also donate over 100,000 bottles of One A Day® and Flintstones™ Multivitamins as well as other nutritional supplements to food banks in the U.S.
Luke spoke with Forbes recently about his focused efforts throughout his career to reach and make fans by creating special concert events that give them unique ways to see him in concert, and going to them where they are. Through his 15 years of Farm Tour, Spring Shows, Crash My Playa and his Resorts World Las Vegas residency and Luke has diligently worked presenting different show environments for the fans.
In celebration of Farm Tour 2024, 30+ farms nationwide are honoring Luke with corn mazes. While navigating the maze, guests will look for clues and play an interactive game quizzing them on how well they know their favorite country artist, Luke. Participants will enjoy photo opps and music along the way. Collectively, the farms- designed by The MAiZE Inc.- will reach more than a million visitors during the fall season. See some Here.
