Country star and “American Idol” judge Luke Bryan will bring his Raised Up Right Tour to the T-Mobile Center on Sept. 8.

Riley Green and Mitchell Tenpenny are the opening acts. Tickets for the concert, announced Monday on the arena’s website, will go on sale at 10 a.m. Feb. 4, with prices ranging from $49.75 to $149.75.

Bryan is a five-time Academy of Country Music Awards Entertainer of the Year, most recently last year. The 45-year-old Georgian has been a judge on “American Idol” since 2018.

He last performed in Kansas City on Oct. 30, 2019, at the then-Sprint Center, making up for a rain delay earlier that month. He had been scheduled to perform Oct. 3 in a field in Miami County, south of Kansas City, as part of his Farm Tour, but that was postponed after heavy rains made the ground too wet for unloading equipment.
