LUKE BRYAN WRAPS “AMERICAN IDOL” SEASON AND FIRST-EVER FARM TOUR CONCERTS IN CALIFORNIA

NASHVILLE – (May 19, 2025) – Five-time Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan wrapped his judging duties last night, alongside Carrie Underwood and Lionel Richie, on ABC’s “American Idol.” Luke had several performances on the show including with his fellow judges on Lionel’s “Stuck On You,” his current single “Country Song Came On” and Randy Travis’ hit “Deeper Than The Holler” with finalist John Foster

The 2025 season marked Luke’s eighth consecutive year as a celebrity judge. Jamal Roberts was named the 2025 “American Idol” winner.

The evening before the finale, Luke closed out a highly successful run of first-ever Farm Tour concerts in the state of California, performing in Atwater, Clovis and Shafter with more than 57,000 fans attended the three-show weekend. Since Farm Tour began in 2009, Luke has given back to the farmers by awarding college scholarships to students from farming families who are attending the local college or university near the tour stops. Including these spring dates, 87 scholarships will have been granted to date. Longtime Farm Tour sponsor Bayer, through their “Take Care, Now” campaign and the #HerestotheFarmer social initiative, are on their way to donating ten million meals to Feeding America. Luke’s work with these programs has been critical in raising awareness, educating communities and facilitating access to nutritious food and vitamins and minerals. Luke’s Farm Tour has again partnered with Fendt for a fifth year. Following the Rise Before Sunrise content series, Fendt and Luke expanded their partnership with the creation of Boldly Grown Popcorn in 2022 and Boldly Grown Peanuts 2023. Fendt continues to donate to local and national FFA Organizations.  

At the Shafter Farm Tour show, Luke was surprised with an on-stage presentation of a Buck Owens signature Red, White & Blue telecaster guitar. Since Owens’ passing, his family and KUZZ radio have continued the tradition, and Luke joins just a handful of artists who have received this honor.

Luke is set to launch his “Country Song Came On Tour” on May 29 and the fall Farm Tour dates will run Sept 18-20. Go to LukeBryan.com for tickets.
