Luke Combs performed for what he said was his largest audience – 61,000 people – on Saturday at Acrisure Stadium. 

After firing up his audience of Steelers fans by having “Renegade” play as his walk-up music, Combs appeared on the stage wearing a Steelers hat and singing one of his most popular songs, “Lovin’ on You.”

From the audience interaction to his vivid screen displays, Combs performed an amazing concert. Kenny Pickett, a quarterback for the Steelers, made a surprise appearance and shared a drink with Combs. 

Combs was especially good at involving the audience. He had a big smile on his face the entire concert, and created an amazing and energetic atmosphere. 

He played for about two hours, performing a variety of songs such as “Better Together,”One Number Away,” and “When It Rains It Pours.”

Combs had four openers: Riley Green, Lainey Wilson, Flatland Cavalry and Brent Cobb, and he invited all four to sing with him on stage at one point in the concert. He even had each of his band members perform a portion of a rock song.

After so much support from the audience, Combs decided to perform a few extra songs. He displayed so much gratitude towards the audience, which seemed to have every seat full.

Combs was able to perform some of his newer, less popular songs while still singing all of the fans’ favorites. He even sang a few covers of songs by other artists, including the song “Dive” by Ed Sheeran, which fit his voice very well. 

Overall, the performance was amazing, and Combs is definitely an artist to watch.
