Luke Combs is taking his connection with fans to the next level by launching the Bootleggers Bonfire, an exclusive three-day event in Miramar Beach, Florida. The highly anticipated festival will take place this year on October 10 through 12. 

Unlike a standard music festival, this event promises to be a full-on "music vacation," packed with unique activities and an intimate atmosphere that will offer fans more than just live performances.

The Bootleggers Bonfire will kick off with a songwriter beach jam session – allowing fans to experience live music right on the sandy shores. Superfans will also have the opportunity to join a drum circle, attend a massive tailgate party, and even sign up for a "Lukealike" contest, where attendees will show off their best Luke Combs impressions.


But that's just the beginning – fans can look forward to live performances from notable names in country music. The star-studded lineup includes Tracy Lawrence, Craig Morgan, The Wild Cards, Ashley McBryde, and Brent Cobb

Combs will perform two sets, one featuring his tour staples and another highlighting deep cuts rarely played live. In a promo video, Combs expressed his excitement, promising a weekend packed with music, special guests, and unforgettable experiences for his dedicated fans.

Andy Levine, Founder and CEO of Topeka, the event organizer, shared that the immersive experience is designed to be more than just a concert series.

"We ask all our partners, how can we make this a great extension of who you are, all the way around, all your partners, your sponsors, your record company, your universe, your ecosystem, how can we make it special?" Levine told Country Now

According to Anthony Diaz, Topeka's chief operating officer and partner, the event's fan-forward approach was a key part of the planning process. 

"So when you see things like 'Luke-i-oke,' where people are going to get to sing Luke's songs with the band, that's very fan-forward mindset, a 'Lukealike' contest, because how could you not do that at a gathering of the Bootleggers? So it really starts with sitting down with the band's management team and like Andy Said, finding out who are the fans, and what would they love," added Diaz. 


While the event offers a once-in-a-lifetime experience, it comes with a premium price tag – tickets are $445. However, fans attending the Bootleggers Bonfire will get a far more intimate experience than a typical Luke Combs concert, where crowds can soar over 60,000 people. 

The smaller, more personal setting will give fans a closer connection to their favorite artists, making the price worth it for those looking for something beyond a typical arena or stadium show. With a mix of exciting activities, fan engagement, and stellar performances, the Bootleggers Bonfire is shaping up to be a unique country music retreat that fans won't soon forget.

Fan Of View: Luke Combs is leaning into the strength of his devoted fandom with the Bootleggers Bonfire Weekend. Fans are excited, especially in hopes of hearing unreleased tracks like "Noah's Arkansas," which Combs has been teasing on social media. This close fan interaction strengthens his connection with his audience and amplifies the anticipation for new music, solidifying his powerhouse status in country music.
