Luke Bryan Hit In The Face By Object Thrown From Crowd During Live Concert — But He Keeps Singing

Country music superstar Luke Bryan had an unexpected and unpleasant surprise during a recent stop on his “Country On” tour. While performing in North Dakota over the weekend, Bryan was struck in the face by an object thrown from the crowd — in the middle of a song.

Fans Shocked As Luke Bryan Gets Hit Mid-Song

As Bryan launched into one of his biggest hits, “Country Girl (Shake It For Me),” the energy in the crowd was electric. But suddenly, that excitement turned dangerous when someone in the audience hurled an unidentified object toward the stage. The item — possibly a ball — hit Bryan directly in the face.

Multiple videos captured by fans show Bryan visibly startled and momentarily thrown off by the hit. Though the exact object hasn’t been confirmed, the force and impact were clear.

Despite being surprised — and understandably annoyed — Bryan didn’t stop the show. He missed only a few lyrics before continuing to sing, earning praise from fans for staying professional and composed.

Crowd Reaction: Disbelief and Support

The incident caused immediate outrage online. Viewers of the fan-recorded videos voiced strong support for Bryan and criticized the fan who threw the item.

Some of the most-liked comments included:

“This is why we can’t have nice things.”
“I would’ve ended the show right there.”
“Total disrespect. Shame on that person.”

So far, Luke Bryan has not publicly commented on the incident, and it’s unclear if the person responsible was identified or removed from the venue.

A Tough Stretch of Shows for Bryan

This unfortunate incident is the latest in a string of setbacks for Luke Bryan during his 2025 tour.

Earlier this month, Bryan had to cancel and reschedule several shows after struggling with a case of COVID-19 that affected his voice. During one performance, he stopped mid-set, apologized to the crowd, and issued full refunds because he felt he couldn’t give fans the show they deserved.

Shortly after returning to the stage, Bryan had yet another awkward moment when he was swarmed by mayflies during a piano performance — again forcing him to pause and laugh it off.

Now, being hit in the face by a flying object has added to the list of unexpected tour mishaps.

A Message About Respect and Concert Safety

While many fans are still reeling from the moment, the bigger issue of fan behavior at concerts is once again in the spotlight. In recent years, artists from Bebe Rexha to Harry Styles have been hit by thrown items — sometimes resulting in injury.

Luke Bryan’s ability to remain calm and carry on with his performance shows why he’s one of the most respected artists in the genre. But the incident also raises important questions about concert safety, respect, and personal boundaries.

Bryan Still Has More Shows Ahead

Despite the chaos, Luke Bryan isn’t slowing down. He’s set to continue his Country On Tour through late September 2025, with major stops across the U.S. and Canada.

Fans hope the rest of his tour will be free of illness, insects, and objects — and filled with the high-energy country performances that Bryan is known for.
