God I hope so. Saw him twice last year. He was sublime. Remains one of my best live experiences ever. I have been going to live gigs for 42 years

Was a vibe. Kylie came on too!

One of my few bucket list artists left. And I've been going to gigs for about the same amount of time!

Judging by last night at Wembley, Luke Combs should be in the conversation of headliner. The UK is having a moment with country music so I don't think it would be particularly left field either.

Ugh, no thanks. I don't deny he's popular. There's no accounting for taste, I guess.

Is it so wrong I didn't know who he was before he booked his Wembley shows? The fact its among the gigs that has had the most people I know going on Instagram stories hints that he's popular. I don't deny that.

 

Whether its enough to get him into this conversation is another matter.

Ok, so by your argument, you'd be happy if they booked LadBaby and two new K-Pop bands that have just blown up to headline as you are free to go elsewhere 😉

I mean selling out (more or less) three consecutive nights at Wembley is pretty good in my view. TBF of you haven't heard of him, that's your problem! The cover of Fast car with Tracy Chapman has been streamed over a billion times. That's Swift/Rodrigo/Styles levels of streaming. But it's all subjective and each to their own at the end of the day

They can book who they want and if I don't like it, I will go elsewhere.  There is a solid argument on popularity that we aren't to far off Kpop being at Glastonbury in some form

First time I heard the name was actually when a local venue had 'The Luke Combs Experience' playing.

There is also a solid argument from Seventeen already that not enough people actually care if they book them also.

1000% agree with this. I was there last night, ridiculous how good he was.
