Luke Bryan Announces Massive 2017 Tour by Playing Duck Hunt
Luke Bryan's Huntin’, Fishin’, & Lovin’ Every Day Tour will include six opening acts over a summer-long trek that reaches both coasts and focuses on outdoor amphitheaters. Bryan announced his 2017 tour plans on Tuesday (Jan. 23) with a fantastic throwback video, premiered exclusively on Taste of Country. Duck hunting was involved, but not the kind you're thinking of.
Instead, Bryan put on his war paint to play Nintendo's Duck Hunt, a mid-80s game that involved typical 1980s graphics and a gun that usually (OK sometimes, geesh) fired where you aimed it. Hey, it was revolutionary at the time! The ducks have the faces of potential opening acts on them, and he fires and misses at Cole Swindell and Florida Georgia Line but hits targets including Brett Eldredge, Lauren Alaina and Granger Smith.
His other opening acts for the tour will be Seth Ennis, Craig Campbell and Adam Craig. The mega-tour begins May 5 at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena and concludes Oct. 28 in San Bernadino, Calif. In August he'll play WE Fest in Detroit Lakes, Minn.
