Dierks Bentley ‘Gone’ No 1

Bentley earns 20th career chart topper

Dierks Bentley takes “Gone” to the top of the Mediabase/Country Aircheck Singles chart this week, notching a notable 20th career No. 1.

“I really can’t believe I have 20 No. 1’s at country radio,” Bentley shares. “I still remember the bar I played in Texas when I found out that ‘What Was I Thinking’ was going to be my first No. One. It’s a great feeling that only gets better with each song that goes to the top. I am so appreciative of Country radio for all the support they have given me from the beginning…it’s been a great ride.”

Fans can catch Bentley on the road this summer at the summer’s biggest festivals ahead of his upcoming 2021 Beers On Me Tour with specials guests Riley Green and Parker McCollum, launching August 13th at Salt Lake City, UT’s USANA Amphitheatre. The trek will criss-cross the nation stopping in Buena Vista, CO over Labor Day Weekend (Sept 3-5) for his third annual Seven Peaks Music Festival with a stacked lineup including Keith Urban. The weekend will include performances by Kip Moore, Old Crow Medicine Show, Randy Houser, Hot Country Knights, Clay Walker, Travis Denning, Ingrid Andress, Molly Tuttle, Mark Chesnutt, Caitlyn Smith, Hailey Whitters, Pam Tillis, Callista Clark, Jackson Dean, Ray Fulcher, Willie Jones, Caroline Jones, Rapidgrass, Reyna Roberts, Payton Smith and Aydamn.

Before his return to the road this summer, Bentley launched his High Times & Hangovers club tour with five sold out shows in five nights, as the last time he headlined a dive bar tour by the same name was 2006.
