Joining Combs for these shows will be Zach Bryan, Cody Johnson and Morgan Wade.
Combs currently has a top 5 hit on Billboard's Country Airplay chart with "Cold As You," which is the seventh single to be released from his What You See Ain't Always What You Get project. During his CMA Awards performance on Wednesday, Combs debuted a new song, "Doin' This."
“This song means a lot to me personally," Combs said via a press release. "Not to recite the lyrics, but for me, it’s truly about playing country music for a crowd, whether that’s 70 people or 70,000 people, and playing country music with my buddies in the band. It really doesn’t matter where we’re playing or how many people we’re playing for because it isn’t about the fame, the fortune, the name, or the glory. It’s about getting to make and play country music."
Combs also noted the swirl of career happenings over the past few days, saying, “This week has been a whirlwind - got to debut a new song on the CMAs, release the song and music video to my fans, and announce three stadium shows at NFL stadiums. Talk about a week! It will be hard to top this one.”
Tickets for these newly confirmed stadium shows will be available for pre-sale beginning Wednesday, Nov. 17 at 4 p.m. local time via Ticketmaster Verified Fan. The general on sale will open Friday, Nov. 19 at 10 a.m. local time.
Combs also recently released the track "South On Ya," which was added as the official theme song for the SEC Network's 2021 football season.

in London, joined by IDLES and Kojey Radical. He later collaborated with Fred Again.. on the electronic track “Lights Burn Dimmer,” which incorporates and reshapes elements from Jamie’s 2023 song “Hippodrome.”
During a conversation with Radio 1 presenter Jack Saunders on Wednesday, Aug. 19, Jamie called the collaboration a “big deal” for him. “That song, when I wrote it, I hadn’t realised until I heard Fred’s version how much hope was in the lyrics. I felt quite emotional when I heard Fred’s version, and his spin on it. That was really helpful for me, as I wrote that song at quite a difficult time in my life. To see it turned into a more euphoric thing was really quite lovely.”
Jamie will offer an early taste of the new album during a small, exclusive performance at Scala in London on Thursday, Aug. 20. The concert will be his first headline appearance since playing to 40,000 people at Finsbury Park, although he made a short guest appearance with Fred Again.. in February during the producer’s USB002 tour run at Alexandra Palace.
After breaking through in 2007 with the Mercury Prize nominated Panic Prevention, Jamie went on to release another four studio records, with each reaching the top 10 of the Official U.K. Albums Chart. He has also appeared at Glastonbury Festival on several occasions, including his widely praised headline performance on the Woodsies Stage in 2022.
