GALLERY: Lightning Doesn’t Stop (But Does Delay) Luke Combs Concert in Charlotte

Sarah Weaver/Beasley MediaMother Nature did her best to stop Luke Combs from performing his concert on night two in Charlotte, NC, in the home of the Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium last Saturday night.
Leading up to doors opening, heavy rainfall, thunder, and lightning struck the area, causing many to duck for cover. Once it subsided, the stadium opened and fans started filling in their seats.
Before her set, opener Lainey Wilson's equipment was apparently struck by lightning during those earlier storms, and she had to perform her set acoustic with just one other guitar player on stage with her. Of course, it's Lainey Wilson, and she did a fantastic job regardless!
Riley Green got lucky and had his full band during his set with no issues.
When Luke Combs hit the stage, the weather came back for vengeance. He was only on for 5 minutes when he announced he had to leave the stage due to more lightning in the area. Obviously, there was nothing he could do, but he promised to stay and perform, even if it meant we were there until 5 am. And he lived up to that promise.
The stadium kept us updated with reports, but the concourses were filled with fans ducking for cover from both rain and lightning. The lighting is what really delayed the show for over an hour. And I felt so bad for those who had already been waiting since doors opened before 5 pm.
Once the area got the all clear and fans were let back in by security to their seats, the stadium flooded with people ready to hear their hometown favorite fresh off his latest number-one single! By the time Luke came back on stage, it was after 10:45 pm and the concert didn't wrap up until after midnight.
As usual, Luke Combs did not disappoint with his Charlotte concert. He continues to be one of the nicest, most giving and fair-minded country artists. North Carolina is lucky to have him as our own, and I know he made Charlotte proud.







Luke Combs Complete Charlotte Setlist For Saturday, July 15
Night two - Saturday night - of the Luke Combs tour stops in Charlotte featured a lot of the same songs from the first night, but the setlist was a little different thanks to major storms.
His setlist for his concert Saturday, July 15 at Bank of America Stadium featured some incredible tracks, and a couple of changes from Friday night.
The country hit-maker has the current No. 1 song in the country world, with his cover of Tracy Chapman's classic "Fast Car" getting played EVERYWHERE. Of course that was in his Charlotte setlist, as well as so many other great hits.
"Fast Car" gave Combs his 15th chart-topper in country music, and all his other ones featured prominently in the show.
One surprising omission from the setlist was his cover of the Brooks & Dunn classic "Brand New Man," which has been played at other tour stops this year.
Luke did play several songs from his newest album, which was a huge bonus, as it's a good look at what's to come from the superstar. "Where the Wild Things Are," "Fast Car," "Growin' Up and Gettin' Old," "5 Leaf Clover," and "Love You Anyway," all came from the Gettin' Old album.
So let's dive in and look at every one of the 23 songs from the setlist Luke Combs played during his Charlotte show on Saturday, July 15.
