The show, part of Bryan's Farm Tour, was scheduled for 1846 Farms on Bell Memorial Church Road in Unity Township.

However, heavy rainfall hit the area earlier in the day, leaving the concert grounds muddy.

Concert organizers explained their decision to cancel the show.

"This call was made for everyone's safety on the grounds," organizers initially posted on bigtickets.com.

Luke Bryan echoed that sentiment on Facebook.

Luke Bryan Apologizes For Cancelled Concert

"Hey y'all. Unfortunately, tonight's Farm Tour show in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, will not take place due to the conditions of the field. I am so sorry. This call was made for everyone's safety."

The "Play It Again" singer added hope for attendees, though, stating that the concert may be postponed to a later date.

"Please hang on to your tickets and parking passes. We are working on next steps and will update y'all as soon as a decision is made. God bless and stay safe y'all."

Country Now reported that the cancelled show was expected to draw 20,000 people.

Country stars Dasha and Kenny Whitmire were also slated to perform.

Following the cancellation announcement, 1846 Farms released a statement on social media.

"We are incredibly saddened for our community, our guests, and everyone who worked so hard to prepare for this day. But today is also a reminder of something farmers know all too well you can prepare, plan, and work tirelessly, but ultimately, you cannot control the weather.

"Our area has experienced an exceptionally wet summer, with record amounts of rainfall creating challenges that are simply beyond anyone's control."

1846 Farms added that unpredictable weather is par for the course in the life of farmers before concluding with an optimistic outlook.

"There will be sunny days ahead. From all of us at 1846 Farms, thank you for the tremendous support you've shown our farm and our community. We look forward to the day we can welcome you all back again," the statement concluded.

Luke Bryan will continue his Farm Tour this weekend, with shows in Ohio, Indiana and Michigan.
