TOUR TIDBITS: LUKE BRYAN, VANS WARPED TOUR, INCUBUS

LUKE ON THE LOOSE: Following the conclusion of his eighth year as a judge on ABC's American Idol, country star Luke Bryan will embark on his Country Song Came on Tour, starting 5/29 in Bethel, New York.

Produced by Live Nation, the outing will visit North American amphitheaters through 8/30 in Buffalo, New York. Bryan will also play a handful of festivals along the way, including Country Stampede on 7/26 in Bonner Springs, Kansas.

Opening acts will include George Birge, Avery Anna, Ashland Craft, Mae Estes, Cole Goodwin, Braxton Keith, Randall King, Vincent Mason, Drake Milligan, Adrien Nunez, Owen Riegling and DJ Rock. Get tickets here.

BACK IN THE VAN(S): Simple Plan, Bowling for Soup, Pennywise, the reunited Dance Hall Crashers, Miss May I and Chandler Leighton are among the first artists announced for the return of the Vans Warped Tour, just in time for its 30th anniversary.

In partnership with Insomniac, the event will comprise three two-day festivals in Washington, D.C. (6/14-15), Long Beach, California (7/26-27), and Orlando, Florida (11/15-16), with between 70 and 100 bands tipped to appear. The lineup will be rolled out incrementally as part of "30 Days of Warped," which began today (1/27) and will last until 2/26.

Meanwhile, Warped alum blink-182 will take the stage at the Hollywood Palladium on 2/13 to support Los Angeles fire relief. 100% of ticket proceeds from the Live Nation-produced event will be donated to the Pasadena Humane Society, California Fire Department, LAFD Foundation and ARC Firefighter Fund. Punk band Alkaline Trio will support.

ANOTHER VIEW: Buoyed by the success last year of a tour featuring a complete performance of its 2001 album, Morning View, Incubus will run that concept back in 2025. The Brandon Boyd-led group will hit arenas, amphitheaters and theaters starting 6/25 in Nashville and will wrap with a 10/4 hometown gig at Intuit Dome in Los Angeles. Manchester Orchestra returns as the warm-up act.
