Have tickets for Luke Combs' concerts in Jacksonville? Here's what you need to know

A little less than eight years ago, Luke Combs was fairly unknown, playing clubs like the old Mavericks Live in the Jacksonville Landing. Now he’s headlining two shows at EverBank Stadium, and doing the same at stadiums across the country.

In the intervening years, he’s gotten three Grammy nominations, been named Country Music Association Entertainer of the Year twice, released one of the funniest Number One hits in years with “When It Rains It Pours” and brought down the house at a nationally televised Grammy Awards show by duetting with Tracy Chapman on her hit “Fast Car.”

Combs plays Friday, May 3, and Saturday, May 4, at the stadium, with a different cast of opening acts each night.

Here's what you need to know about the shows.
