Luke Combs is putting his family first.
The country singer announced he’s canceling his appearance at the Super Bowl pre-party in Santa Clara, California on February 8th, just a day before he was set to perform at the Madden Bowl in San Francisco.
He shared on Instagram on February 5th that he was disappointed to miss the Madden Bowl, but explained that spending time with family was his priority and wished everyone a good time.
Luke Combs, whose wife Nicole Hocking Combs is expecting their third child, didn’t offer many details about what’s happening at home. However, the event organizers at EA Sports explained that he had to be there to support his wife during her pregnancy.
Luke is staying home to prepare for a new baby, according to a statement from the video game company. They expressed their support for Luke and his family and are excited to host an amazing #MaddenBowl event featuring Zach Bryan, promising a great night of music and football for fans.
Zach Bryan will be the main performer at the concert, with supporting acts by Teddy Swims, Stephen Wilson Jr., Gavin Adcock, and LaRussell.
As for Luke, it seems he’ll be spending the evening with his kids, Tex Lawrence, 3, and Beau Lee, 2.
He and Nicole—who tied the knot in 2020—announced in September that they’re growing their family.
“Third time’s a charm!” they shared on Instagram at the time. “Baby #3 coming this winter.”
Although Luke won’t be performing in the San Francisco Bay Area this weekend, other artists will be entertaining fans at Super Bowl events. Notably, Bad Bunny is now part of the impressive group of musicians who have performed during the Super Bowl Halftime Show.

Luke makes it a high priority to attend important family events, particularly because he unfortunately couldn’t be present for the birth of his second son due to being on tour in Australia.
He described one day as both the best and worst of his life, calling it “probably the craziest day” he’d ever experienced. He shared this on an episode of The Zane Lowe Show.
Luke explained that he was in Sydney, Australia, staying in a hotel. He said he woke up around 8:00 a.m. and received a text message from his wife. It read, ‘I’m so sorry, I really tried not to have the baby while you’re gone.’
The 35-year-old added through tears, “God, dude, it sucked.”
Although Luke won’t be performing in the San Francisco Bay Area this weekend, several other artists will be entertaining fans at Super Bowl events. One of those performers is Bad Bunny, who is now part of the impressive group of musicians who have played the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
