It really was only a matter of time before Luke Bryan graduated to headliner status.  Luke helped Jason Aldean pack concert after concert all summer long and now it is his turn.  He is finishing up a min-tour of small college town right now, but starting early next year, Luke Bryan will headline a full tour.

The Dirt Road Diaries Tour will run from January through March.  Luke will play shows all over the midwest and southeast, including stops in Florence, South Carolina and Fayetteville, North Carolina.

Thompson Square and Florida Georgia Line will join Luke on the road and he could not be more excited to things going at the beginning of the year:

"I have dreamed about this day for a very long time.  We are having the best time putting together all the bells and whistles for the tour. I have spent a lot of time out on tours with some really great artists, and each night we have tried to learn from them. I couldn't be more excited about this!"

Luke Bryan plans to head into the studio in November and December to work on his next album.  His last album, Tailgates & Tanlines, went platinum.
