“I’m 20(ish) years into doing this, and I’ve seriously never been more excited about a tour,” Bentley said. “We had Zach out for a few shows last summer, and I knew right away that we had to do more together. He loves the same kind of country music I do, and he’s got the bluegrass chops to hang with the best of ‘em in a jam. I’ve got a million ideas for the setlist rolling around in my head. It’ll be fun to figure out how to make it all come to life with a new album and new production.”

Known for putting on full-scope performances that “blend hits, a genuine onstage energy that easily outpaces many of today’s newcomers, and intentional audience engagement” (Billboard),

Bentley’s summer tour will be packed with his biggest hits, fan favorites as well as new music. On Friday, Bentley teased a new album with the release of lead single “She Hates Me,” which lands somewhere between Whitley and Weezer and features his patented style of country with a mischievous edge, plus the tongue-twisting story of a girl who is no longer falling for his country-boy charm. Fans can listen to the “catchy ballad with a little dose of humor and some good ol self-deprecation” (Holler) here and watch the official music video here. More details about the album will be unveiled in the coming weeks.

More about Dierks Bentley

Having consistently climbed to the top of country music charts for 20 years, Capitol Records Nashville artist Bentley remains an outlier in both altitude and attitude. More than a hit-making singer/songwriter, he has become the standard bearer for roots music in the mainstream and a multi-Platinum superstar, standing at the intersection of mainstream country and bluegrass with an arena live show.

Beginning with his debut single and instant-classic hit “What Was I Thinkin’” in 2003, Bentley’s unique sonic influence and warm vocal rasp have paved the way for the perennial hitmaker, known first and foremost for creative integrity. His career has produced eight No. 1 albums, 22 No. 1 songs, 8 billion global streams and three CMA Awards – plus 15 Grammy nominations and membership in the historic Grand Ole Opry.

Beyond that, millions of fans have connected to his songs – mostly self-penned – featuring equal parts energy, emotion and epiphany, and tastemakers around the nation continue to hail Bentley as one of country’s most authentic entertainers.

Following the release of his 10th studio album, “Gravel & Gold,” in 2023, Bentley’s headlining “Gravel & Gold Tour” matched fan-favorite hits like “Drunk On a Plane,” “I Hold On” and “Free and Easy (Down the Road I Go)” with top-flight musicianship and boundless energy in the nation’s most iconic settings.

He also has created professional endeavors outside of music with his Flag & Anthem lifestyle collection Desert Son and his four Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row locations. Most recently, he launched ROW 94, a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey crafted with only “three ingredients and the truth” at Kentucky’s Green River Distilling Co.
