The last time country singer Luke Combs played a full concert in the Los Angeles area he sold out the Greek Theatre for a pair of shows in 2019. He’s, um, gained a few fans since then, it’s fair to say.
On Friday, Combs returned to Southern California for the first of two nights at SoFi Stadium on his Growin’ Up and Gettin’ Old Tour, playing 26 songs over an hour and 45 minutes to the delight of fans who seldom stopped singing along with Combs’s well-drafted celebrations of ordinary people living regular lives.
