Background

The tour was first announced in September 2022.{{cite web|last1=Dukes|first1=Billy|title=Luke Combs Announces 2023 World Tour With Cody Johnson, Lainey Wilson + More|url=https://tasteofcountry.com/luke-combs-2023-world-tour-dates/|website=Taste of Country|access-date=September 30, 2023|date=September 8, 2023}} Due to overwhelming ticket demand, Combs added second shows in select cities.{{cite web|last1=Lee|first1=Hank|title=Luke Combs adds another Charlotte show to 2023 world tour|url=https://www.wcnc.com/article/entertainment/luke-combs-2023-tour-charlotte-north-carolina-concerts-bank-of-america-stadium/275-b6eb7c2b-0305-4a12-b325-50d5c73e1033 |website=WCNC|publisher=Tenga|access-date=September 30, 2023|date=June 5, 2023}}

Critical reception

Courtney Dabney of Paper City, who attend the opening night in Arlington, Texas, said the show was great but thought the concert could have been better if it took place at a venue with better acoustics.{{cite web|last1=Dabney|first1=Courtney|title=Country Superstar Luke Combs Kicks Off His Record Breaking World Tour in Arlington, and Shares Deep Love for Texas|url=https://www.papercitymag.com/culture/luke-combs-tour-2023-setlist/|website=Paper City|date=March 27, 2023}}

Betsy Reed of The Guardian gave the Glasgow show two out of five stars stating, "Ironically, despite Combs' down-home appeal, his show is too slick to elevate the material beyond the middle of the road. Combs' stylized country vocals seem effortlessly strong and his band are tight and precise, but there's some crucial alchemy missing."{{cite news|last1=Reed|first1=Betsy|title=Luke Combs review – country star|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/oct/17/luke-combs-review-ovo-hydro-glasgow|access-date=June 19, 2024|work=The Guardian|date=October 17, 2023}}
