A nationwide Hat Drive gives Luke Combs fans a chance to become part of the country star’s upcoming Las Vegas entertainment destination before it opens.
By Debbie Hall
Las Vegas is getting a new country-music entertainment destination from one of the genre’s biggest stars, and Luke Combs is giving fans a chance to become part of the experience before the first note is played.
Luke Combs’ Category 10 invites fans nationwide to contribute to a massive Hat Wall for its Las Vegas location. Through a nationwide Hat Drive, fans can donate a favorite ballcap — along with the story behind it — creating a display filled with personal memories and a sense of belonging to the music and artist.
Fans can participate in person by dropping off a hat at Category 10 Nashville or mailing one to the venue through Aug. 31. Those unable to visit can submit their story and hat online via the event website, ensuring everyone can join in regardless of location.
The collection won’t be limited to fan contributions.
Combs will contribute hats from his personal collection, placing pieces from his own life alongside those submitted by fans.
The result promises to be more than a wall of ballcaps. It will create a visual connection between Combs and the audiences who have followed his music, while giving fans a chance to leave a personal piece of their country-music story inside the new Las Vegas venue.
Bringing Luke Combs’ Country World to Las Vegas
Category 10 brings Combs’ country-music brand to life through a combination of live entertainment, dining, drinks and nightlife, creating an experience designed to capture the energy of Nashville while putting its own Las Vegas spin on the concept.
The Las Vegas location will add another music-driven entertainment destination to a city where concerts, nightlife and immersive experiences are major attractions.
The Hat Drive, however, gives the Las Vegas debut something particularly personal.
Unlike a simple venue opening, Category 10 will launch its Las Vegas venture with some of its audience already embedded in the space through their hats. Each hat has a story behind it, be it a great concert, an interesting vacation, an important tradition, or a connection with the songs of Combs, encouraging the fans to be a part of a rich tradition.
Storytelling is an essential element of a country music landmark. Country music has long relied on songs that turn everyday experiences into stories, and the Hat Wall extends that tradition beyond the stage.
For fans, it also offers the chance to become part of the venue itself—not just as concertgoers, but through an item that will remain on display for other visitors to see.
With Combs adding hats from his own collection, the display will bring the artist and his audience together in one highly visual feature.
The Hat Drive is open through Aug. 31, giving fans a limited chance to submit their hats and stories before Category 10 Las Vegas opens and encouraging a sense of exclusivity and timely involvement.
Fans can participate in person by dropping off a hat at Category 10 Nashville or mail their hats (postmarked by Aug. 31) to:
Category 10 Nashville
ATTN: Cat10 Vegas Hat Wall
1 Gaylord Dr.
Nashville, TN 37214
They can also submit the story behind their hat online, adding a personal layer to what promises to be one of the venue’s most fan-driven features.
When the venue welcomes its first guests, the Hat Wall will remind them that the Category 10 experience isn’t only about the artist onstage. It’s also about the fans who have made his music part of their own stories.
Throughout his career, Combs has earned numerous awards, nominations and chart achievements, establishing himself as one of country music’s leading contemporary performers. From his early independent releases to his rise as a stadium-level artist, his music has consistently emphasized storytelling, authenticity, and the relationship between an artist and the audience — qualities that have made his live performances such a significant part of his career.
For Luke Combs fans, that’s a pretty big hat to fill — and an even bigger opportunity to leave their mark on Las Vegas.
Category 10 is only accepting ballcap-style hats in person at Category 10 Nashville or by mail. Please note that submitting a hat does not guarantee it will be used on the hat wall, and hats will not be returned.
