Country music star Dierks Bentley is planning to embark on a dive bar tour, despite the ongoing pandemic.

“The idea of being up onstage seems totally frightening right now,” Bentley told Taste of Country Nights, “as well as, like, super exciting … That’s the way it should always feel, and it definitely feels that way right now, times 10.”

Bentley believes he will be able to launch a “big tour” this summer, as COVID-19 vaccination rates rise in the U.S. However, he plans to go on a smaller dive bar tour before that.

“I’m gonna do a little dive bar tour, just for the heck of it,” he said. “Why not, you know? You can right now … to kind of get the word out that we’re back.”

Meanwhile, Bentley did not disclose any further details about the diver bar tour.
