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.
