Bryan has yet to issue a statement on the postponement of the shows.
Luke Bryan’s Raised Up Right Tour kicked off on June 9 in Charleston, West Virginia and was originally slated to conclude on October 28 in Jacksonville, Florida. However, with the newly rescheduled dates, the tour will now wrap up on November 5 in Tampa, Florida.
The trek features support from Riley Green and Mitchell Tenpenny.
“My favorite place to be is on stage performing to country music fans,” Bryan previously shared. “So thankful every night when I walk out on that stage and know you are there to have a blast along beside me. It never gets old!”
The tour name comes from the lyrics of Bryan’s previous single “Up.”
“Up / In the sky, there’s a guy / Lookin’ down on us / Lookin’ up / Our whole life, raised up right / In a town nobody knows / What a way to grow,” he sings on the chorus.
