Dierks Bentley Excited to Step Back + Open for Luke Combs

For the past two decades, Dierks Bentley has been a tour headliner, zig-zagging across America and playing shows for his devoted fans.

But in 2026, something will change for the “Drunk On a Plane” singer. Bentley is set to return to an opening role, joining Luke Combs on select dates of the My Kinda Saturday Night Tour.

Bentley told CMT that returning to an opening role has been a refreshing change.

“It’s kind of fun to get a chance to go back and do that again,” he said.

He continued, “Especially for a guy who’s one of — if not the biggest — names in country music, playing football stadiums across the country. I love his music, and it’s exciting for us to get out there and be part of that energy.”
