Luke Bryan is gearing up to kick off his Raised Up Right Tour and the first show of the highly anticipated trek will feature a pre-party concert with a familiar face from American Idol: Kelsie Dolin.
The Season 20 fan-favorite recently revealed the exciting news via her Instagram stories.
“If you haven’t got your tickets to the Luke Bryan concert in Charleston, WV, hurry and get them!!! You might just see a familiar face!!!” Dolin shared alongside a selfie.
She later shared an ad mat for the pre-concert party event, which will feature Dolin as the headliner and opener Grayson Wills.
The pre-concert event, presented by Abe One DJ and 97.5 WQBF, will begin at 4:30 PM just outside of the Charleston Coliseum Convention Center and end at 7:00 PM.
Dolin was a standout contestant throughout her time on Idol, with performances of Adele’s “When We Were Young,” Kelly Clarkson’s “Piece By Piece” and Lainey Wilson’s chart-topping hit, “Things A Man Oughta Know.”
The Raised Up Right Tour kicks off on June 9 in Charleston, West Virginia, at Charleston Coliseum & Convention Center and hits 30+ cities, including Charlotte, Atlanta, Knoxville, New Orleans, and more.
“My favorite place to be is on stage performing to country music fans,” Bryan shared. “So thankful every night when I walk out on that stage and know you are there to have a blast along beside me. It never gets old!”
The trek, produced by Live Nation, features special guests Riley Green, Mitchell Tenpenny and DJ Rock on select dates.
The tour takes its name from the chorus of Bryan’s current hit single, “Up,” which is the sixth single from Bryan’s No. 1 album, Born Here Live Here Die Here.
“Up / In the sky, there’s a guy / Lookin’ down on us / Lookin’ up / Our whole life, raised up right / In a town nobody knows / What a way to grow.”
