Luke Combs made history Saturday night at his “My Kinda Saturday Night” tour kickoff. Drawing a staggering 70,921 fans, the country music superstar set a new record for the largest indoor attendance for any concert or event in Nevada history.
The turnout for Combs trounced Super Bowl 58, which saw 61,629 people pack Allegiant in February 2024. Other headliners of the stadium he left in the dust include Morgan Wallen, the Rolling Stones, and even Taylor Swift.
To be fair, however, Combs performed in the round, unlike the other events mentioned, which maximizes available tickets. However, the Canelo Álvarez vs. Terence Crawford fight last September was also performed in the round, and Combs also beat its draw of 70,482.
