ATLANTIC CITY — Country music singer Luke Bryan is going to be performing on the beach this summer, officials announced.
The singer will play Aug. 22, according to a news release from Live Nation. Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. Friday at ticketmaster.com.
“No one throws a concert on the beach better than Luke,” said Geoff Gordon, Live Nation Philadelphia regional president. “We are fortunate that he’s bringing those vibes to a Northeast destination on the A.C. Beach!”
Bryan’s seventh studio album “Born Here, Live Here, Die Here” will be released Friday, April 24. He last appeared in Atlantic City in February 2017 when he performed at Boardwalk Hall.
In December, the Casino Reinvestment Development Authority allocated $1.8 million for a three-year deal with Live Nation to bring concerts to Atlantic City in 2020, 2021 and 2022.
