Dierks Bentley has a specific idea of what a summer show should feel like. The “Off The Map Tour” runs through June and July across a limited run of amphitheaters, and the lineup he’s assembled around it reflects exactly that thinking.
Bentley hand-picked every act on the bill. Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder join on select dates, as do Kaitlin Butts, Cole Goodwin, Owen Riegling, and Mountain Grass Unit. It’s a roster built from genuine admiration, not obligation. “I am big fans of theirs,” Bentley says. “Can’t wait to get out there and watch their shows before we get to go out and do our thing.”
The tour follows stadium dates with Luke Combs this spring and arrives on the heels of Bentley’s newest album BROKEN BRANCHES. That record extends a catalog that includes eight No. One albums, 22 No. One songs, over 9.5 billion global streams, and 15 Grammy nominations. Membership in the Grand Ole Opry sits alongside all of it.
Bentley described the tour’s namesake song plainly: “Off The Map is about going to that place where you take a break from it for a little bit, whether it’s a bar stool sipping something cold, or a back porch down a back road.” The shows are built around that same release. Two hours away from everything else.
Beyond the road, Bentley runs four locations of his gastropub and live music venue Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row, a Flag & Anthem lifestyle collection called Desert Son, and recently released a third expression of ROW 94, a Kentucky Straight Bourbon made with “three ingredients and the truth” at Green River Distilling Co. He also launched the Broken Branches Fund with Music Health Alliance, providing mental health support for music industry professionals.
