Luke Combs is getting ready to play some of the biggest venues of his career. He shares that there are advantages to both small and large stages.

Luke will be at the United Center in Chicago this Thursday and Friday (November 4th & 5th). He will be playing Madison Square Garden in New York City for two nights at the end of the month. He will be heading to Europe in the spring to play festivals there. However, it wasn’t that long ago that Luke was playing clubs and bars.

Luke shares that there are advantages to the small stages in the clubs as well as the larger stages in the arenas.

“There’s positives to both. You know I play in a small place, you get to meet people that have come and said ‘I have drove three or four hours to come see the show.’ And obviously that’s my favorite part of the whole thing because without those people I wouldn’t be getting to do what I am doing anyways. But, the thing about the arena is the stages are bigger. You don’t really get to really use the stage too much at a smaller venue because you are kind of stuck in one place … ’cause there is gear everywhere and this guy is right beside of you and your drummer is right behind you. On the big stage you have so much room to work with.”

No matter if he’s on a big stage or a small stage … You can bet Luke will be singing his latest top five single (and climbing) “Cold As You.” Listen for the song on Bloomington-Normal’s #1 Country, B104.

Do you prefer to see a concert in a small venue or a big arena?
