About this listen
Luke Combs has been on an absolute tear these past few days and fans are getting served a feast of new music and headline moments. Just Friday, October 3, Combs officially dropped his brand-new three-song EP called The Prequel, which includes My Kinda Saturday Night, Days Like These, and 15 Minutes. According to his recent Instagram posts and confirmed by outlets like Countrytown and American Songwriter, these tracks are a preview of his next studio album expected early next year and, if his own words are true, he feels this one might just be his best record yet. Combs told fans he couldn’t wait any longer to share fresh songs, revealing he’s been hard at work in the studio, juggling music and his growing family.
On social media, Combs was candid—he’s “nervous” but excited about this new music. He also shared insights into his private life, explaining that raising kids has him feeling like time is flying but standing still at the same moment. The personal touch is everywhere, including when Combs and his wife Nicole used the song Days Like These to publicly announce they’re expecting baby number three, which will join big brothers Tex Lawrence and Beau Lee. Family continues to be front and center in both his narrative and creative inspiration.
Friday night was a highlight with Combs headlining the Austin City Limits Music Festival, and tonight he’s taking the stage at Country Calling. For anyone in Austin, fans packed into Zilker Park for what’s being described as a raucous country party, and demand for tickets hit sky-high levels, echoing his earlier record-shattering national stadium tour in Australia this year. Combs is the first country artist ever to headline a tour at that scale Down Under, selling out six shows to nearly half a million fans—a true biographical milestone.
As for business moves, Combs is continuing his collaborative streak, having worked lately with Post Malone, Bailey Zimmerman, Jon Bellion, and Alex Warren, and he’s partnered with Opry Entertainment Group to open Category 10, a new Nashville entertainment venue. Besides his solo work, he also wowed the world with a Grammy duet of Fast Car with Tracy Chapman and helped raise over $24 million for hurricane relief at the Concert for Carolina. His latest single Back In The Saddle is climbing the charts and sits at number eight on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart.
On the awards front, Combs is nominated for Entertainer of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year, and Single of the Year at the upcoming 2025 CMA Awards. He’s going up against heavyweights like Cody Johnson, Chris Stapleton, Morgan Wallen, and Lainey Wilson.
Speculation is swirling about international tour dates, especially another Australian leg for 2026. Combs only fueled the fire saying next year’s massive world tour will be named after My Kinda Saturday Night and promising “more news very soon.”
