Luke Combs
Combs 8 x platinum debut #1 hit, “Hurricane,” will be the largest and most versatile entertainment complex in the downtown entertainment district. The venue will be a total 69,000-square-foot complex. It will have an indoor/outdoor capacity of nearly 3,200 people. The area will be customized to reflect Combs’ passions for music, songwriting, whiskey and sports into an unmatched downtown Nashville experience. Features include a 1,500-person capacity concert footprint for ticketed events as well as a proposed 9,000-square-foot rooftop with unobstructed views of the Cumberland River and Nissan Stadium. The three interior levels will feature distinct entertainment experiences inspired by Combs’ songs, lifestyle, personal interests and deep connection to his Bootlegger fans.

Wildhorse Saloon to be reimagined as Luke Combs inspired entertainment experience
“I knew there was something extraordinary about Luke from the first time I heard him perform ‘Hurricane,’” said Colin Reed, Executive Chairman of Ryman Hospitality Properties. “Even as he’s gone from filling bars to stadiums around the world, Luke has remained deeply committed to his fans and his craft. As the downtown entertainment district continues to evolve, we view this new experience as a tremendous opportunity to position Second Avenue with a global audience of country music lovers, anchored by Luke Combs’ massive international fan base.”
The venue’s music program will feature multiple live music experiences that include the existing main stage and dance floor with line dancing. In addition to daily live music from the best up-and- coming talent in Nashville, the venue plans to host a full calendar of ticketed concerts and events.
From Luke with Love
Luke had this to say about his venture: “I got my start in town playing on this stage and to have the opportunity to work with Ory Entertainment to transform it into my own bar is a dream come true.” “I can’t wait for my fans to see what we’re up to.” Located at 120 Second Avenue North, the venue is expected to debut in the summer of 2024. The Company plans to operate the venue as Wildhorse Saloon throughout the planned refurbishment period.

About Luke Combs
Country superstar and reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year Luke Combs is a multi-platinum, award-winning artist from Asheville, NC. Combs released his fourth studio album, Gettin’ Old—a companion to his acclaimed 2022 record, Growin’ Up—last month via River House Artists/Columbia Nashville. Produced by Combs, Chip Matthews and Jonathan Singleton, Gettin’ Old further establishes Combs as one of music’s most authentic and powerful voices, as he explores themes of family, legacy, love and personal growth. Continuing to receive widespread acclaim, Billboard praised Combs saying, “just your neighborhood consistent, reliable global sensation, on the cusp of bringing country to one of the widest non-pop crossover audiences it has ever had,” while Esquire declares, “the best country singer of his generation.”
Known for his electric live shows, Combs is in the midst of his massive World Tour, which includes sixteen North American stadium shows, all of which sold out immediately. With 39 shows across 3 continents and 16 countries, the record-breaking run is the largest tour ever for a country artist. A member of the Grand Ole Opry and an 8x CMA, 3x ACM, 3x Billboard Music Award-winner, Combs is in the midst of a historic series of years, as he was named CMA Entertainer of the Year for the second-consecutive year this past fall and earned his record-setting, fifteenth-consecutive #1 single last month with “Going, Going, Gone.”
