Maybe Luke Bryan should re-think his musical statement that rain is a good thing, especially considering the recent circumstances surrounding the Farm Tour 2015. Unfortunately for Luke, his fellow artists, and his fans, so far the seventh annual Farm Tour has been largely on hold due to an unprecedented string of October storms.
Though Luke was able to kick the tour off in Fort Wayne, Indiana on September 30th, he has had to reschedule his shows in Lexington, Kentucky (October 1st) and Knoxville, Tennessee (October 2nd) due to inclement weather.
An influx of tweets from Luke explained the situation and shared his apologies with ticket holders who were learning of his inability to perform as scheduled.
I know you guys are mad. I am heartbroken. We schedule farm tour in October because it is historically the driest month of the year.

Atvs were bogging up. I will play in the rain but I can't strand you guys in your vehicles for days.

Been doing farm tours for seven years and this is the first time we've encountered this. We will learn and constantly get better. So sorry

Farm tour has forever been a growing dream of mine. This year is our biggest so far. Hang in there with me. I swear I will make it count

Seeing country fans pile into places where no one ever thought a show would ever be possible is the most gratifying ever. Love yall

The Lexington show has been re-scheduled for October 6th and a date for Knoxville is currently being determined.
