Luke Combs releases “Be By You” today, the latest preview of his upcoming 22-track album ‘The Way I Am,’ arriving March 20 via Sony Music Nashville. Of the track, Combs says: “‘Be By You’ was sent to me through a friend. I didn’t personally know any of the guys who wrote it, but the vibe and the melody immediately struck me. It’s one of those rare outside cuts for me, and I honestly think the song turned out perfect. The fans have really made this one their own, and releasing it just before Valentine’s Day felt like the right moment.”
Produced by Combs alongside Jonathan Singleton and Chip Matthews, ‘The Way I Am’ spans 22 tracks and features a collaboration with Alison Krauss on “Ever Mine,” plus previously released singles “Sleepless in a Hotel Room,” “My Kinda Saturday Night,” “Days Like These,” “15 Minutes,” “Giving Her Away,” and “Back in the Saddle.” The record has drawn early praise as some of Combs’ most personal and fully realized work, with listeners and critics responding to its balance of anthemic energy and genuine emotional weight.
Combs kicks off his “My Kinda Saturday Night Tour” next month with a run of sold-out and near-sold-out stadium shows across the U.S., U.K., and Europe. Domestic highlights include Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas (March 21), Notre Dame Stadium in South Bend (April 18), Ohio Stadium in Columbus (April 25), Neyland Stadium in Knoxville (May 2), and two nights at Green Bay’s Lambeau Field (May 15-16). Canadian stops include two nights each at Montreal’s Parc Jean-Drapeau (May 29-30) and Toronto’s Rogers Stadium (June 5-6).
The overseas run is equally staggering. Combs plays Ullevi in Gothenburg, Sweden (July 4), Accor Arena in Paris (July 7), a sold-out Johan Cruijff ArenA in Amsterdam (July 11), two sold-out nights at Slane Castle in Ireland (July 18-19), two nights at Scottish Gas Murrayfield in Edinburgh (July 24-25), and three nights at London’s Wembley Stadium (July 31, August 1-2), making him the first country artist to sell out multiple shows there. Special guests across the tour include Dierks Bentley, Thomas Rhett, The Teskey Brothers, The Script, The Castellows, Ty Myers, Thelma & James, and Jake Worthington, among others.
The new music and tour arrive on the back of a record-setting stretch for the Asheville, NC native. Last year, Combs became the first country artist to headline both Bonnaroo and Lollapalooza, earned his 20th consecutive number one single at country radio with “Back in the Saddle,” and became the first country artist with two songs surpassing a billion streams on Spotify and four singles certified RIAA Diamond. A Grand Ole Opry member and winner of 11 CMA, 4 ACM, and 6 Billboard Music Awards, Combs also headlined “Concert for Carolina” alongside Eric Church, Billy Strings, and James Taylor, raising over $24.5 million for Hurricane Helene relief. ‘The Way I Am’ is out March 20.
