Will the Luke Combs show be delayed if it storms?

Paycor Stadium has a weather plan and will communicate it to fans through various channels if necessary, Jackie Reau, CEO of Game Day Communications, told The Enquirer.

While the specifics of the plan are unclear at this time, when Taylor Swift visited the stadium for two nights last year, Duane Haring, director of stadium and event operations for the Cincinnati Bengals, told The Enquirer that Swift's show would go on even if there were rain or thunder. If there was lightning in the area, the concert would be delayed, and instructions would be communicated to fans at the stadium.

Swift moved up her Saturday show by an hour to avoid inclement weather in the forecast, taking the stage at 7 p.m. instead of her scheduled 8 p.m. entrance.

Are umbrellas allowed inside Paycor Stadium?

Umbrellas of any size are prohibited inside Paycor Stadium. See what you can and can't bring into the venue here. Violators may be removed from the concert without a refund.

Paycor Stadium is an outdoor stadium without a roof, so rain gear and a clear bag may be used to protect your phone.
