Luke Combs closed his My Kinda Saturday Night Tour with three consecutive concerts at Wembley, held between 31 July and 2 August 2026 in front of approximately 90,000 people each night. Guinness World Records recognised him as the first solo country artist to headline a concert at the stadium.
Special Event Services (SES), a US event production company specialising in large-scale live audio systems and staging, handled sound for the tour —including every date across North America and Europe, as well as the Wembley concerts— using its Outline GTO line array system.
This is the fourth consecutive year that SES has supplied and deployed Outline’s flagship system for the production. Until this year, the Outline system covered the North American itinerary, including Canada, while locally sourced systems were used for international dates.

In 2026, SES adopted a different approach: it shipped its own GTO inventory across the Atlantic and transported it through six countries over five weeks. As a result, the platform, system tuning and technical crew that began the tour in Las Vegas in March were the same ones that brought it to a close in London in August.
The tour began on 21 March 2026 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas and concluded at Wembley after visiting Montreal, Toronto, Gothenburg —where it drew 60,826 people to Ullevi Stadium on 4 July, the largest audience ever recorded for a country music concert in the Nordic region— Paris, Amsterdam, Slane Castle and Edinburgh.
Thomas Rhett opened all three nights and joined Combs on stage to perform 1, 2 Many during the closing concert. The second show also featured a special guest appearance by Niall Horan.

At Wembley, the system was deployed in an end-stage configuration, rather than the 360-degree in-the-round layout used on selected US dates. The main arrays combined GTO modules with GTO-DF down-fill elements and GTO-SUB low-frequency elements. Mantas 28 arrays handled out-fill, while delay towers comprising GTO and GTO C-12 systems extended coverage to the furthest sections of the stadium bowl.
Beneath the stage, LAB 21-HS infra-subwoofers reinforced the bottom octave, with LIPF-082 front-fill loudspeakers positioned directly on top of them. Two Outline Newton FPGA processors handled system control and optimisation.

Sound designers Jason Farah and Joe Lefebvre led the system design and used Outline’s OpenArray 3D simulation software to model each venue in advance. Todd Lewis was at front of house. Production Manager Jerry Slone oversaw the international production. Concert Stuff Group (CSG) supported the tour through its specialised divisions: Special Event Transportation for equipment haulage, Guardian for barricade and cable management, and Field Protection Agency for the protection of turf and venue surfaces. Michael Brammer, CSG’s Chief Strategy Officer, has coordinated the strategic growth of the production from indoor arenas to full-scale stadiums.
