DENVER — CMA Entertainer of the Year Luke Combs is bringing his first-ever headlining stadium tour to Colorado this weekend.
The country music superstar has sold out his concert at Denver’s Empower Field at Mile High on Saturday, May 21.
A fast-rising star in the country music industry, Luke Combs' first 13 singles have all reached No. 1 on the country radio charts.
Some tickets to the show, which also features Cody Johnson, Zach Bryan and Morgan Wade, are available for resale at Ticketmaster.com.
Forecast
If you're headed to the concert, it's going to be chilly. High temperatures on Saturday will probably only top out in the 50s and temperatures will be in the 40s for most of the concert.
"I got the coats all packed up! The show must go on," said Combs tweeted.
Light rail
Regional Transportation District (RTD) will add capacity Saturday on its light rail lines that service Empower Field at Mile High.
Two light rail lines provide direct service to the stadium. Commuter rail lines and several bus routes connect to Denver Union Station, allowing for a transfer to light rail lines that directly serve the stadium.
RTD said it will take the following steps to support the concert:
- Adding capacity to regularly scheduled light rail service on the E and W Lines.
- While C Line service remains suspended, the agency will operate limited C Line service immediately after the concert.
- RTD will add capacity to regularly scheduled rail service for final departures from Union Station at the following times:
- B Line: 12:30 a.m.
- C Line: 2:15 a.m. (special event train; regular C Line remains suspended)
- E Line: 1:48 a.m.
- G Line: 12:35 a.m.
- N Line: 12:26 a.m.
- W Line: 1:58 a.m.

On-street Parking
Fans should watch for posted parking restrictions around the stadium and surrounding neighborhoods. Denver’s Right of Way Enforcement agents will be enforcing posted parking regulations in the area.
