Luke Combs has been out on the road plenty across the past couple years.
Enough, in fact, that country music website Taste of Country referred to him as one of “country music’s hardest-touring headlining acts.”

But that won’t the case in 2025 because, according to Taste of Country, Combs has around 20 festival dates scheduled and will not head out on a headlining tour.
And there is good reason for that.
The 35-year-old recently told People Magazine that he is taking this year to just focus on being a good father to his two sons, Tex, who is almost 3, and Beau, who is almost 2.
“I’ve already done 10 of them,” he told People of the festival appearances. “I got 14 more shows for the rest of the whole year. I want to be home with my kids. I want to see my kids grow up and I want them to know that they’re important to me.”
It’s a move that Combs told People would have been more difficult for him to make earlier in his career.
“I feel like country music for a long time has been, ‘Let’s tour every year as hard as we can tour’ while it’s hot,” he said. “But I’m now like, ‘Why can’t you tour really hard, built a really great fan base, care about them, support them, give them exclusive things, give them great experiences and let them understand that you care about them,’ and then if you do want some time for you, you can tell them, ‘I can’t tour this year.’ I wanted to get to the point where I could do that, and it not be career suicide.”
So, Luke Combs fans, that is why you might not get a chance to see your guy on the road this year, and it seems like a pretty good reason to take some time off.
