The album is due early next year
Luke Combs will preview his next album, due in early 2026, by releasing three new songs this week as The Prequel. The country superstar says he couldn’t wait to share the new music.
“Still working on my new album that’ll be out early next year but 3 songs from it are ready now and I couldn’t wait to get y’all some new music, so I’m releasing them this Friday, October 3 as The Prequel. Songs will be Days Like These, 15 Minutes and My Kinda Saturday Night, which next year’s tour will be named after. I’ll have more news on that very soon,” he writes.
In July, Combs dropped “Back in the Saddle.” The song’s official music video was directed by Tyler Adams and features NASCAR legends Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Richard Petty.
Combs has also recently collaborated with artists such as Post Malone (“Guy For That” and “Missin’ You Like This”), Bailey Zimmerman (“Backup Plan,” the official anthem for the 2025 SEC Network season), Jon Bellion (“Why”), and Alex Warren, and partnered with Opry Entertainment Group to open Category 10—a multi-level entertainment complex in downtown Nashville. Combs also performed an unforgettable duet of “Fast Car” with Tracy Chapman at last year’s Grammy Awards and joined forces with Eric Church, Billy Strings and James Taylor to headline Concert for Carolina, a special benefit show at Charlotte’s Bank of America Stadium, which raised over $24.5 million for Hurricane Helene relief efforts.
