SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) – Another country music star will try to bring down the house inside the House that Rockne Built this upcoming spring.
The university announced on Thursday morning that Luke Combs will perform at Notre Dame Stadium with his “My Kinda Saturday Night Tour” on Saturday, April 18, 2026.
The show will feature special guests Dierks Bentley, Ty Myers, Jake Worthington and Thelma & James.
This will be just the fifth concert at Notre Dame Stadium. Combs will follow in the footsteps of Garth Brooks (twice), Billy Joel and most recently Zach Bryan.
“It’s the vitality to the community. It’s allowing people who might not have otherwise been here to come here to our backyard and experience you know what is South Bend in our region,” said Lee Sicinski, executive director for university events. “I had a number of folks from the promoter side who admitted to me during Zach Bryan that they probably wouldn’t have come here if it wasn’t for that show.”
Sicinski said the show will be center stage in the round and expects to see a crowd up to 85,000 people.
The parking lots open at noon and doors open at 5 p.m.
