Jason Aldean wrapped his sold-out Highway Desperado Tour this weekend after playing more than 80 dates across the U.S. The tour concluded with Aldean’s highly anticipated hometown show in Macon, GA at the new Macon Amphitheater on October 5th. In addition to Saturday’s Highway Desperado show (10/5), Aldean headlined a previously announced charity benefit, Concert For The Kids (10/3), which also took place in Macon and saw the proceeds go to the city’s Beverly Knight Olson Children’s Hospital. Longtime supporters of the hospital, the Aldean family raised and donated more than $618,000 at Thursday’s event to support the hospital’s continued lifesaving efforts, including the neonatal unit (NICU).

Following his Macon, GA Concert For the Kids show, Aldean took the stage for the final night of his sold-out Highway Desperado Tour on Saturday (Oct. 5), and stopped the show to also recognize those impacted by Hurricane Helene. In addition to personally donating $500,000 to Samaritan’s Purse, an organization focused on Hurricane Relief efforts, Aldean was also joined onstage by Georgia Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones to donate the total of GoFundMe relief effort donations to Samaritan’s Purse, totaling more than $6.5M dollars.
