Combs will be joined by fellow country artists Jordan Davis and Mitchell Tenpenny, as well as rising Aussie star Lane Pittman. However, fans in Adelaide are voicing their frustration on social media, with many taking to platforms such as Twitter and Instagram to express their feelings of exclusion.
“I can’t believe he’s skipping Adelaide! We’ve supported him since day one,” tweeted one upset fan. “It’s a shame that we won’t get to see him perform live here. He deserves to come to every city!” another said.
Meanwhile on Instagram, one commented: “Please add Adelaide!!!!” “Come back to Adelaide pleaseeeeee!” added a user. Combs performed in the South Australian capital, during his 2023 Australian tour along as well as WA capital Perth, which is also excluded from the upcoming tour. Adelaide has a strong country music fan base, evident from Combs’ previous popularity in the region, where he has gained considerable streaming traction.
The 2025 tour marks a significant milestone in Combs’ career, coming on the heels of recent accolades including nominations for Male Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year for Fathers & Sons, and the prestigious Entertainer of the Year at this year’s CMA Awards.
