Luke Bryan Forced To Cancel Another Farm Tour Stop
on • Updated
It turns out, rain isn’t always a good thing for Luke Bryan.
Every year, Luke Bryan embarks on a Farm Tour, where he performs at real-life working farms and gives back to the community with proceeds from the ticket sales.
He was scheduled to kick off his four-stop Farm Tour in Pennsylvania, then head over to Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan. Dasha, Kenny Whitmore, Peach Pickers, and DJ Rock were slated to open for him.
However, after the weekend was done, he only performed twice.
Unfortunately, the opening date of the Farm Tour was cancelled a few hours before he was scheduled to perform at 1846 Farms in Latrobe, PA.
Bryan explained in his announcement of the cancellation that the “the conditions of the field” were not safe. Fans later found out from 1846 Farms that a storm had rolled through the morning before the concert that made Bryan’s team unable to set up any of the stage.
Many of the trucks used to load-in gear and the stage got stuck in the mud, so the team made the difficult decision to scrap the show…for now (hopefully).
Luke Bryan Was Able To Perform At 2 Farm Tour Locations
Bryan was able to perform at his second and third tour stops in Millersport, Ohio and Brookston, Indiana. The Brookston show, while it did occuer, had its own weather-related issues.
In Millersport, Ohio, the show went off without a hitch. From all the photos and videos we saw scouring the Internet, the only setback that night was the insane traffic getting in and out of the venue.
But in Brookston, Indiana, several Facebook posts suggest the Prairie View Farms field was a muddy mess.
Watch the video below, which details the extremely muddy conditions of the farm’s field.
Luke Canceled The Last Farm Tour Stop
The fun ended there, as Bryan’s team was once again deterred by the weather and forced to cancel the show at John Schaendorf Dairy in Allegan, Michigan on Sunday, September 20.
The farm announced the unfortunate news on their Facebook page, writing,
“Unfortunately, the Luke Bryan Farm Tour scheduled for September 20 has been postponed due to current field conditions. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. This situation is beyond our control, and we know this was not an easy decision for the Luke Bryan team to make. Please keep all tickets you currently have. Additional information will be shared as soon as it becomes available. Thank you for your patience and understanding.”
Just like 1846 Farms, Schaendorf Dairy encouraged fans to keep their tickets because they are hopeful that they can reschedule.
According to WIN 98.5 Country, Bryan’s tour management sent out emails to each person who had tickets citing the “extensive rainfall” for the field conditions.
1846 Farms released a statement following the cancellation of the Schaendorf Dairy show, writing, “We know the heartbreak of spending months preparing your land – making improvements, coordinating countless moving pieces, and pouring everything into thousands of people to your farm – only to have relentless rain make those fiels unusable.”
The post revealed that this year, farming communities have faced “record storms and rainfall.”
We will keep everyone updated on if and when he reschedules the two Farm Tour dates.
