On Sunday, Luke wrapped his “Mind Of A Country Boy Tour” with the final (rescheduled) show taking place in Des Moines, Iowa at Wells Fargo Arena.

In January Luke concluded 48 electrifying shows at Resorts World Theater in Las Vegas over his two-year run.
For many years, Luke has lifted up and mentored new artists by offering them the opportunity to perform in front of his concert audiences and this year’s “Mind Of A Country Boy Tour” was no different. The tour featured Tenille Arts, Chayce Beckham, George Birge, Dillon Carmichael, Larry Fleet, HunterGirl, Ella Langley, Tracy Lawrence, Kameron Marlowe, Vincent Mason, Chase Matthew, Meghan Patrick, Lily Rose, Josh Ross, Alana Springsteen, Zach Top, Tucker Wetmore, and DJ Rock.
