Luke Bryan Announces Eighth Annual Farm Tour, First ‘Farm Tour’ EP

Luke Bryan's annual fall Farm Tour will return for an eighth year in 2016 -- and this year's trek will be accompanied by the country star's first-ever Farm Tour EP.

Bryan's 2016 Farm Tour is set to kick off on Oct. 5 and run through Oct. 15. Dates are scheduled in South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri and Illinois -- eight in total; a complete list of the venues and show dates is below. Nut House members and Citi cardholders will have access to a pre-sale beginning on June 21, with a general on-sale following on June 24. Complete information about pre-sales and ticket options (including VIP options) is available on Bryan's official website.

According to a press release, in 2015, Bryan performed for more than 110,000 fans during his Farm Tour (despite some bad weather that plagued the trek). A portion of Farm Tour ticket proceeds go toward a local college scholarship, the Luke Bryan Farm Tour Scholarship, given to students from farming families within the communities in which the Farm Tour stops.

In addition to his Farm Tour, Bryan will release a Farm Tour EP this fall. No further details, such as a release date or a track listing, have been revealed.

Bryan will be spending the summer of 2016 on the road for his Kill the Lights Tour. Upcoming stops include Virginia Beach, Va.; Washington, D.C.; and Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
