Tickets to see Luke Bryan in the Carrier Dome sold out Monday morning

Tickets to see country music star Luke Bryan in the Carrier Dome on April 9, 2016 sold out Monday morning, according to Syracuse.com.

The country singer announced his 2016 “Kill the Lights” tour dates on Oct. 20, which included a spring concert in the Dome. Tickets went on sale Nov. 13, and ranged in price from $25.75 to $75.75.

Country artists Little Big Town and Dustin Lynch will open the concert. The show will be the second big concert the Dome has hosted in the past 13 months outside of University Union sponsored events, as Billy Joel performed for a record seventh time in the Dome in March.

Bryan has been named Entertainer of the Year three times by two of country music’s largest awards organizations: the Academy of Country Music and the Country Music Association.

“Kill the Lights,” Bryan’s latest and fifth studio album, was released in early August. After about a week the album debuted at No. 1 on both the Billboard Top 200 and Top Country Albums charts.



Bryan’s single “Strip It Down” hit No. 1 on the country single charts, making it his 14th career No. 1 single, according to Bryan’s website. Some of his other hits include “Drunk on You,” “Do I,” “That’s My Kind of Night” and “Play it Again.”

The concert in the Dome will be the 12th concert on Bryan’s “Kill the Lights” tour, which begins on Feb. 18, 2016 in Evansville, Indiana.
