Luke Combs Phoenix concerts: Everything to know if you're going to State Farm Stadium
Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year Luke Combs is playing 25 U.S. stadium shows in 2024 on his Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old Tour, including two performances at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, on Friday, May 31, and Saturday, June 1.
Special guests at Friday's show will be Cody Jinks, Charles Wesley Godwin, Hailey Whitters (whose set last year at Country Thunder Arizona has me thinking you'd be foolish not to make it to the stadium on time) and the Wilder Blue.
Saturday's show will feature Jordan Davis, Drew Parker and Colby Acuff.
The Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old Tour launched with two shows in Milwaukee, where the Journal-Sentinel reviewer noted, "As a songwriter, as a storyteller, he's as polished as any of his peers in heavy rotation on country radio. But there's more soul and vulnerability in his voice, with just a touch of grit, than most of his centrist country star contemporaries."
The review went on to single out the star's "ability to make the stadium filled with 41,000 to 44,000 feel small, to make songs feel personal in that space" as his greatest strength.
Here's everything you need to know before you go to State Farm Stadium.

Where is State Farm Stadium?
State Farm Stadium is off Loop 101 between Cardinals Way/Bethany Home Road and Glendale Avenue in the Glendale Sports and Entertainment District.
The street address is 1 Cardinals Way, and typing "State Farm Stadium" into your phone will yield the same result, which may not be as helpful as you think.
In fact, fans are encouraged to avoid their favorite apps when approaching the stadium, as they do not take into account special road closures, traffic patterns and access routes allocated to specific carparks. Using these apps could result in a longer commute.
The stadium website encourages ticketholders to use the directions on the parking pass purchased at SeatGeek.com, as this accounts for road closures and event-specific diversions.
