On Friday, January 23rd, it was announced that Luke Bryan will hit the road in 2026 with his ‘Word on the Street Tour,’ with shows scheduled across the country.

Closest to home, Bryan will play two nights at BankNH Pavilion in Gilford, New Hampshire, on May 29th and May 30th, with support from RaeLynn, Karley Scott Collins, and Zach John King.

Although his tour stretches through the summer and runs all the way until September, wrapping up in Wisconsin, it all officially begins right here with these New Hampshire shows.
