Taylor Swift isn’t the only songwriter who can play multiple nights inside Tampa’s largest venue.

Luke Combs, who’s scheduled to play a sold-out Raymond James Stadium on July 8 has added an extra date to his run of shows in Tampa, Charlotte, Foxborough and Philadelphia, according to a press release.

A rep for Combs told Creative Loafing Tampa Bay that the tour has sold 570,500 tickets across 11 stadium shows so far.

Tickets for Luke Combs’ July 7 show at Raymond James Stadium will go on sale to the public on Friday, June 9 via Ticketmaster’s Verified Fan system, and start at $20.50. Openers in Tampa include Riley Green (who’s also playing Tampa Pig Jig this fall), Lainey Wilson, Flatland Cavalry and Brent Cobb.

In February 2021, Combs came under fire when his part use of the confederate flag came to light after he tried to explain “The Great Divide,” a Billy Strings collaboration. “It isn’t meant to be political or try and tell you what to think or believe; that’s not my job,” Combs wrote.

Margo Price, who was among the artists to push back on Combs’ statement about not being political, also shared a Combs social media post where he quoted another user’s comment about Asians.

Combs has since apologized for his use of the confederate flag and has regularly appeared at the top of the Billboard charts. His new cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car finds Combs working outside of the country genre and sits at No. 10 on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart.
