Lakelin LemmingsGuestBut before we get into that, must talk about the country music news that's happening, and it just feels like country music is taking over.
Australia, Europe, Asia.
Wherever it is, country music is becoming a global phenomenon.
And, you know, we've got country music, Western inf- like, Western influence styles going around.
You know, you go into shops nowadays, you hear on the radio country music songs.
You hear the likes of Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen, Ella Langley, and it's just amazing to see so many people hopping on board this journey of country music and the rise of it.
I've been a fan of country music for many years now, and when I first got into it, like, you literally just had to listen to your own playlists, listen to, like, American country radio, and now we've got, uh, like designate, like designated radio stations in the UK, and it's just amazing seeing how rapid it has been grown.
And talking about that, last week Luke Combs finished up his My Kinda Saturday Night Tour, and he wrapped it up with three nights at Wembley Stadium and made history becoming the first solo country artist to headline Wembley's 90,000 s- capacity stadium.
Um, he set a Guinness Book of Records on that one, and for being the first solo country act to achieve that feat, uh, following the three shows.
It looked a hell of a lot of fun if you were there.
Um, you know, this tour's just been great.
Every night he had someone different out shotgunning beers.
Ex-Chelsea player, you know, you've got many teams in London, but, um, that was amazing.
He brought out, um, Caleb from Clarkson's Farm to shotgun a beer.
Niall Horan as well was there that night shotgunning a beer 'cause he was performing with Thomas Rhett, who was supporting Luke Combs.
And it's just amazing to see, um, just how big Luke Combs has become and how much the wider market in the UK has been, like, listening to his music.
Um, he isn't done with his massic- massively successful tour.
Um, he's going back on the road next spring and visiting North American stadiums.
Um, he's playing a handful of shows starting on April the 9th all the way through to June the 26th, and he's taking the Treaty Revival, um, Avery Anna, and Shanado on the road with him.
Um, but in total so far, just from his tour alone, without these dates, Luke Combs has sold over 1.3 million tickets across 22 shows and set multiple records.
