Concert synopsis

The show begins with Bryan being risen up from a platform under a circular stage while singing the opening number, "Kick the Dust Up". Bryan's concert attire consists of a ball cap, T-shirt, and black jeans. When covering Maroon 5's "Sugar", supporting acts Randy Houser and Dustin Lynch were brought up stage to perform it with Bryan. The setlist is pretty much the same as it was on Bryan's previous tour.[3]
