Country Jam’s Full Lineup After Luke Bryan Drops Out

With the Country Jam kicking off on June 26th, the organizers looked to none other than Luke Bryan to close out the 33rd year of the festival. Looking forward to his performance and entertaining thousands of country music fans, the singer has struggled with a mysterious illness. He recently refunded fans at his concert after his voice started to go out. And it appeared that sickness continued as he announced he was backing out of the festival. With organizers needing a new headliner, they revealed Country Jam’s full list of performers including Bryan’s replacement. 

On Wednesday, Bryan shared the news that he needed to back out of the Country Jam. He wrote on social media, “I’m really sorry to say I won’t be able to play this weekend’s shows due to continued illness. I’ve been hoping to rally, but my voice is just not there yet.” As for the singer taking his spot, Bryan added, “Huge thanks to my buddy Eric Church for stepping in last minute — and of course, putting on a kick ass show like he always does. Sitting still is not what I do best so I can’t wait to be back soon.”
