Luke Bryan launches 'Proud To Be Right Here Tour'

Nearly 15 months after its planned launch in May 2020, ACM Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan began his “Proud To Be Right Here Tour” on Thursday in Syracuse with special guests Dylan Scott, Caylee Hammack (through Aug. 14) and DJ Rock. Runaway June will join the tour on dates after Aug. 19. The tour is slated to run through Oct. 16 with a detour in September for the return of Bryan’s “Farm Tour.”

Bryan returns to Western New York on Aug. 14 for a performance at the Darien Lake Amphitheater.

The “Proud To Be Right Here Tour” was originally announced in January 2020 to come alongside Bryan’s “Born Here Live Here Die Here” album release – and was named from a line in the album’s title track. Since the tour was paused due to the global pandemic, Bryan’s fans remained dedicated and helped to send multiple songs from the album to No. 1 – including “Knockin' Boots,” “What She Wants Tonight,” “One Margarita” and “Down To One” – most songs Bryan has yet to play live.

With career on-demand streams at 1 billion, the Louisiana-native has headlined shows and opened for Bryan, Garth Brooks and Chris Young.
