The tour adds four concerts in this year, following their sold-out UGA Sanford Stadium show last week (April 25) that reunited the Georgia natives in front of 63,000 fans. 

The tour will make stops in Washington-Grizzly Stadium (Missoula, MT) on August 1; Petco Park in San Diego on August 16; Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. on August 20 and Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on December 11.

“If our time in Georgia was a barometric measurement of what’s ahead, these shows with Jason will make it one of the best touring years of my life. And the fans will hopefully feel the same way,” shared Bryan. 

Both Aldean’s and Bryan’s fan club members will have ticket presales starting Wednesday, May 6 continuing through Thursday, May 7. Tickets to the public go on sale Friday, May 8, at 10am local time. Tickets are available at JasonAldean.com and LukeBryan.com. 

“Luke and I have each been at this, career-wise and as friends, for over twenty years, and have gotten to hit a lot of milestones along the way. We’ve gotten to share the stage plenty of times over the years, and playing UGA was just a preview of what’s coming for the rest of these shows,” shared Aldean.
