Music in the Midlands: Luke Bryan, Young the Giant, Winter Jam

Luke Bryan

After canceling his October Farm Tour stop in Gaston due to the Hurricane Matthew evacuation orders, we’re glad country star Luke Bryan will return to the area to perform.

The “Crash My Party” singer is a two-time Academy of Country Music and Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year winner. You might have seen him singing the National Anthem recently at a little event called the Super Bowl.

He’s bringing his Kill the Lights Tour to Columbia with Brett Eldredge and Brett Young.

7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 23 at Colonial Life Arena, 801 Lincoln St. $50-$325. www.coloniallifearena.com
