CMA Entertainer of the Year Luke Combs continues to set records both at country radio and on tour and his latest achievement broke a record previously held by Shania Twain

Combs, who earned two of this year’s biggest country songs according to Billboard, will soon embark on a seven-show headlining tour in Canada. 

After tickets went on sale, Combs quickly achieved the fastest selling shows for a country artist at Montreal’s Centre Bell, Toronto’s Scotiabank Arena (two nights), Quebec City’s Centre Vidéotron and London’s Budweiser Gardens (two nights).

 According to a press release, Combs has also now sold the most tickets ever for an artist in any genre at Budweiser Gardens, breaking the record Shania Twain previously set in 2018.  

Combs’ Canadian tour kicks off on March 20, 2022, in Toronto, Ontario and will wrap up on March 31 in London, Ontario.

The brief trek will feature support from Riley Green and American Idol winner Chayce Beckham.
