Luke Bryan kicked off the weekend with the single that inspired the name of his 2026 headlining run.
Bryan released “Word On The Street,” a single written by Payton Smith, Josh Thompson and Justin Ebach. The five-time Entertainer of the Year said in a statement that “this one felt right to get out ASAP after naming my summer tour from the title. When I first heard the demo, I knew I had to go in and record it. I loved everything about how the writers approached this song- it just felt fresh. Can’t wait to get out on the road and perform it for you live!”
The American Idol judge is starting his “Word On The Street Tour” with Drew Baldridge, Karley Scott Collins, Lanie Gardner, Randall King, Zach John King, Shane Profitt, RaeLynn, Lauren Watkins, Jake Worthington and DJ Rock on select dates. Bryan is also returning to the West Coast on his annual “Farm Tour,” and taking the stage at country legend Alan Jackson’s sold-out final show, “Last Call: One More for the Road – The Finale.” See the “Word On The Street Tour” dates below.
Bryan is part of the star-studded lineup of the 2026 iHeartCountry Festival. The show also includes Kane Brown, Parker McCollum, Riley Green, Shaboozey, Dylan Scott, Russell Dickerson, Gretchen Wilson, Chase Matthew and Lauren Alaina. iHeartRadio's Bobby Bones is returning as the event’s host. The show will take place on May 2 at Moody Center in Austin, Texas. Tickets to the show are available as of January 23. Fans across the country will be able to catch all the action as the 2026 iHeartCountry Festival will be broadcast live across iHeartCountry stations nationwide and the free iHeartRadio app on Saturday, May 2nd at 8pm ET/5pm PT (7pm CT).
