Luke Combs Sets Attendance Record At Allegiant Stadium In Las Vegas On Opening Night Of ‘My Kinda Saturday Night’ Tour
That’s how you do it.
It’s been a big weekend for Luke Combs: He kicked things off by dropping his sixth studio album, The Way I Am, and last night he opened his My Kinda Saturday Night Tour by setting the attendance record at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
By the time openers Thelma & James, Ty Myers and Dierks Bentley had finished their sets, 70,921 fans had packed into the home of the Las Vegas Raiders, breaking the attendance record previously set at the stadium by Riyadh Season’s TKO boxing match headlined by Canelo Álvarez and Terence Crawford.

That June 2025 fight drew 70,482, breaking the record previously set by Garth Brooks of 68,000 on his stadium tour stop in 2021.
Luke debuted a new “in the round” stage setup on this tour that featured a stage in the center of the field with four catwalks allowing him to venture further out into the crowd and perform to every corner of the arena.

And when he took the stage in front of the record crowd, he ripped through 28 songs, including 7 songs from his new album that was released the day before.
The album provides plenty of stadium-ready bangers that made their way onto the setlist, including “Back In the Saddle” and the title track for the tour, “My Kinda Saturday Night,” but he also included included the sultry “Be By You,” which he released back around Valentine’s Day as a tribute to his wife Nicole, as well as current single “Sleepless In A Hotel Room.”
Luke recently became a father for a third time, with his newest son Chet Wiley Combs being born back in February, so he’s significantly scaled back on touring this year to spend time with his family. Las Vegas was the first of only nine US shows he’ll be playing this year, along with 14 international dates in Canada and Europe (which includes three nights at Wembley Stadium in England to round out his 2026 tour).
Given his limited schedule, as well as a stage setup that’s favorable to packing large crowds onto the field, it’s possible that we see Luke breaking a lot of attendance records on this limited tour. But the real test for Luke’s record will come in just over a month when Morgan Wallen hits Allegiant Stadium for two nights on his Still the Problem tour, which could very well mean that Luke’s single-night record could be short-lived.
Either way, it shows what a massive superstar Luke Combs is to be able to pack in record crowds and beat global events like the Super Bowl and the Riyadh boxing match, as well as artists who have performed at the stadium in the past like Garth Brooks, Beyoncé and Bad Bunny.
You gotta love it when a good guy like Luke just keeps on winning.
