In 2024, Luke Bryan will continue to judge on American Idol while also releasing new music. “My main thing is always to focus on trying to write songs. Carving out enough time to write songs. Making some albums. And then having a nice balance,” the star shared during an appearance on Audacy’s Rob + Holly podcast.

Bryan calls the past two years “Navy SEAL training,” and he jokes that he has “learned that I can survive” the grueling schedule of a country superstar with a Hollywood presence. His Las Vegas residency will end this month, but another will soon follow. “Well, I’m definitely gonna be out on tour,” Bryan says as he looks ahead to 2024. “We haven’t announced all that stuff yet, but it’s coming down the pipeline.”
