Luke Combs' star power was on full display this weekend at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa. These official Luke Combs photos from his Tampa shows leave no doubt that he is one of Country Music's biggest stars. The first of two shows kicked off Friday July 7th with special guests Lainey Wilson and Gary Allan. Wilson has been a rising star for the last couple of years while Allan is a legend in his own right. Both openers sparked an energy in the crowd before Luke Combs took the stage. Lainey Wilson would join Riley Green and Brent Cobb for Saturday's sold out show as well. The last time an artist played multiple nights at Raymond James was Taylor Swift's iconic 3 night run in April.  (Photos here) Comb's World Tour featured all his biggest hits including his current cover of Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car."

The North Carolina native started singing as a child in chorus class and would sing in various school musicals. After high school he attended Appalachian State University where he worked at a bar as a bouncer. The owner would let him earn stage time during his "bouncing" duties. This was obviously the start to a very successful career. Enjoy these official Luke Combs photos from his Tampa shows.
