Additional sold-out dates include Raleigh’s PNC Arena (two nights), New Orleans’ Smoothie King Center, Dallas’ American Airlines Center, Memphis’ FedEx Forum, Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena, Chicago’s United Center, Orlando’s Amway Center and Boston’s TD Garden among others.

The new tour—which will feature special guests Ashley McBryde, Drew Parker and Ray Fulcher—will see Combs performing with a new in-the-round stage design.

Luke talked about the new set up on Instagram recently in a video. He posted, "WYSIWYG Tour - In the Round."

The ACM awards will be broadcast on CBS live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, April 5 at 8:00 p.m. ET/7:00 p.m. CT.
