Country superstar Luke Combs may be lighting up the charts, but at home, he’s just “Dad”—and that’s a role he’s not taking for granted.
In a heartfelt message shared with fans on May 4, the 35-year-old singer got real about his priorities in 2025. While fans may have noticed he’s skipping a major headlining tour this year, Luke made it clear that the decision was made with love.
“I just want to be home as much as I can,” Luke wrote in an Instagram post filled with family photos. “Where I can see my boys grow up and they know how important they are to me.” He’s talking about his two young sons, Tex Lawrence (2) and Beau Lee (1), and it’s clear that fatherhood is at the top of his list these days.
Even though he’s only doing select festivals in the U.S. this year, Luke made sure to thank fans for sticking by his side. “Y’all are the best fans in the world,” he said. “Thanks for letting me take a step back from touring, while still knowing how much y’all mean to me.”
But make no mistake—Luke isn’t stepping away from music altogether. In fact, he’s been making big waves with his latest duet, “Backup Plan” featuring Bailey Zimmerman. The two debuted the emotional track at Stagecoach on April 27, and just days later, it shot to No. 1 on the Country Digital Song Sales chart—marking Luke’s 10th chart-topping hit.
Then on May 16, Luke checked in again, this time from the driver’s seat of his truck, parked outside the studio. “I’ve been taking some time to be with my family,” he said in a video, “but I’m back in the studio, and there’s a new record on the way.”
And that’s not all—Luke also confirmed that a brand-new tour is in the works for 2026. No exact dates yet, but fans are already buzzing. In the meantime, Luke is scheduled to perform at a handful of major festivals like Stagecoach, Bonnaroo, and Lollapalooza.
So while he’s pressing pause on life on the road, Luke Combs is far from slowing down. Between fatherhood, fresh music, and future plans, it’s safe to say the best is yet to come.
