“Word On The Street” is Luke Bryan’s first new music of 2026, and it arrives with a tour named after it already locked and loaded. The track, written by Payton Smith, Josh Thompson, and Justin Ebach, is out now via MCA and follows Bryan’s 32nd No. 1 hit, “Country Song Came On,” which topped the charts last summer.
Bryan didn’t hesitate when he heard the demo: “This one felt right to get out asap after naming my summer tour from the title. When I first heard the demo, I knew I had to go in and record it. I loved everything about how the writers approached this song, it just felt fresh.”
The Word On The Street Tour kicks off with back-to-back shows May 29-30 in Gilford, New Hampshire, with openers Drew Baldridge, Karley Scott Collins, Lanie Gardner, Randall King, Zach John King, Shane Profitt, Raelynn, Lauren Watkins, Jake Worthington, and DJ Rock appearing across the run. The tour is produced by Live Nation.
Bryan has sold more than 20 million concert tickets across his career and ranked No. 20 on Pollstar’s Artists of the Millennium list based on tour ticket sales. He’s also featured on George Birge’s “Ride, Ride, Ride,” a modern-day cowboy anthem out now.
