Reigning ACM Artist of the Decade Jason Aldean and five-time Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan are teaming up to play Sanford Stadium at the University of Georgia on April 25, 2026. The longtime friends and Georgia natives joined SEC Nation today to make the announcement in person from Georgia’s campus, ahead of tonight’s Georgia Bulldogs vs Alabama Crimson Tide game.

Both Aldean’s and Bryan’s fan club members will have ticket presales: Monday, September 29, 10AM local time through Thursday, October 2 at 10PM local time.

Tickets to the public are on sale Friday, October 3 at 10AM local time. For tickets go to  LukeBryan.com, JasonAldean.com or GeorgiaDogs.com.  

Bryan and Aldean first rocked Sanford Stadium in 2013 as part of Aldean’s Night Train tour, which marked the one and only concert event ever to be held in the venue. They are set to return and headline the all-star line-up, which also includes current ACM nominee Zach Top and Platinum-selling singer and Georgia native Lauren Alaina as well as DJ Rock and Dee Jay Silver, for the first “Live Between the Hedges” Concert Series Presented by Pruitt Health on April 25, 2026, on Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium.

"Playing Sanford Stadium in 2013 was one of the biggest highlights of my career,” shared Aldean. “I couldn’t be more excited to co-headline it this time with my buddy Luke Bryan. Luke and I have talked for years about wanting to do another show in Athens, and finally the stars have aligned for us to be able to do it. This one’s gonna be something people haven’t seen before…..WE PROMISE YA!"

“Growing up going to Sanford Stadium was always a highlight of the year for me, and I can’t believe I get to go back as a co-headliner with one of my best friends and play this iconic place,” said Bryan. “Aldean and I have been talking about putting on a unique show together for a few years and to be able to do that in our home turf is incredible. I am so grateful to continue to have these opportunities and to keep being able to have so much fun at this life. This is going to be way up there on the list for me!”

Aldean, a Grammy-nominated, multi-platinum award winning entertainer, is one of country music’s most successful touring powerhouses. With 30 No. 1 singles, nearly 20 billion streams, and over 20 million albums sold, Aldean has been one of the premier faces of country music over the last decade. Since his 2005 self-titled debut, Aldean has carved out a reputation for delivering hard-hitting anthems that blend small-town storytelling with stadium-powered energy. He’s remained a steadfast and defining voice, with a fanbase that spans generations and continues to grow. Currently finalizing new music, he recently released his new single, “How Far Does A Goodbye Go,” as the follow up to his 30th career #1 hit.


Bryan, a native of Leesburg, Ga., is a five-time Entertainer of the Year known for his high-energy performances. Since his career began in 2007, Luke has garnered more than 27 billion global streams, 12 million global album sales and more than 48 million track sales worldwide with 32 #1 singles. He became a SoundExchange Hall of Fame recipient as one of the most streamed artists in their 20-year history. He has received more than 50 music awards including Most Heard Artist of the Decade, Artist/Songwriter of the Year, Artist Humanitarian and anACM Lifting Lives Award honor for his devotion to improving lives through the power of music. In 2026, Luke returns to the judge’s desk alongside Lionel Richie and Carrie Underwood for his ninth season on ABC’s American Idol.

“As we worked on bringing concerts back to Sanford Stadium, it was important that we find a group with Georgia roots,” J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics Josh Brooks said. “We have always had a strong partnership with Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan and appreciate their passion for their home state and this university. Zach Top and Lauren Alaina are the perfect complement to what will be a fun night in Athens.”

“We could not be more excited to partner with Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan to bring concerts back to Sanford Stadium. Their deep passion for the University of Georgia and their enthusiasm to help us relaunch this concert series speaks volumes to their commitment to this state,” said Georgia Associate Athletic Director Tanner Stines. “We are also excited to welcome Zach Top and Lauren Alaina – two of the best up-and-coming artists today. This collaboration is a celebration of music, tradition, and the incredible energy that defines Bulldog Nation.”

“Live Between The Hedges” Concert Series Presented By Pruitt Health is brought by a partnership with DOES Entertainment and Dugas-Jackson Consulting.

JASON ALDEAN'S “HOW FAR DOES A GOODBYE GO,” IMPACTING COUNTRY RADIO NOW, EARNS BIGGEST ADD DAY OF HIS CAREER

Reigning ACM Artist of the Decade Jason Aldean impacts country radio today and scores another most-added accolade with his brand-new song, “How Far Does A Goodbye Go.” Earning 134 first-week stations - Aldean’s and Broken Bow Records’ biggest add day ever - the infectious tune is the first taste of his upcoming new music project, coming next year.

Hot on the heels of his 30th #1 single, Aldean delivers one of the most emotionally-charged performances of his career with “How Far Does A Goodbye Go,” written by long-time collaborators Kurt Allison, John Edwards, Tully Kennedy and John Morgan. The song is being hailed by fans as “throwback Aldean,” with a melody taking listeners back to his country-rock roots, fused with universally relatable lyrics that show after decades on top, this country superstar still has a lot more to say.

JASON ALDEAN PARTNERS WITH HOUSTON NATIVE, 13-YEAR-OLD DJ DANIEL, TO RAISE $200,000 FOR HEROES FOR CHILDREN

Grammy-nominated, award-winning entertainer Jason Aldean’s FULL THROTTLE Tour made its sold-out stop in Houston, TX Friday (8/15) at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, but not before making a very important local stop. Before taking to the stage, Aldean joined Devarjaye “DJ” Daniel, members of the Houston Astros baseball team, and families, staff and children from Texas-based non-profit Heroes for Childrenfor a full day of mini-golf at Puttshack and baseball fun before the Full Throttle show that evening. Aldean, in partnership with Full Throttle tour sponsor Patriot Mobile, also presented a surprise check for $200,000 to Heroes for Children, thanking them for all they do and thanking DJ for bringing his awareness to the organization.

The event was the culmination of initial outreach online by 13-year-old DJ Daniel, a cancer fighter and Houston native, who made a video plea earlier this year asking, “Hey, does anybody know Jason Aldean? Because we’re trying to do a country show down here to raise money for kids with cancer.” Jason saw the video while he happened to be with his friend and fellow artist Darius Rucker, so they responded here, with Jason promising to meet the teen and help his mission. 

In addition to hosting the event at Puttshack mini golf, Aldean also worked with the Houston Astros, who came to the table in a big way, offering kids a chance to attend batting practice including meet-and-greets on site with some of its players and free tickets to a future Astros game, ahead of Aldean’s sold-out show that evening. Hall of Famers Roger Clemens and Jeff Bagwell were in attendance, playing golf and taking pictures with families battling pediatric cancer. Later that evening at the Full Throttle Houston show, DJ made a surprise on-stage appearance to share his story of how Heroes for Children helped him, encouraging fans to also get involved, and also telling a few jokes that had the crowd roaring. 

DJ Daniel, who suffers from a rare form of brain and spinal cancer was told almost 8 years ago that he had about 5 months to live, and after battling cancer and undergoing more than a dozen surgeries, has since spent countless hours working to raise awareness and funds in the fight against childhood cancer and Texas non-profit Heroes for Children. Co-founded by Jenny Lawson and Larissa Linton, who both lost children to cancer, Heroes For Children helps to ensure no family faces childhood cancer alone.

JASON ALDEAN CELEBRATES HIS 30th #1 AT COUNTRY RADIO WITH HIS LATEST SINGLE “WHISKEY DRINK”

GRAMMY nominated entertainer and ACM Artist of the Decade, Jason Aldean lands his 30th #1 at Country Radio via Broken Bow Records this week with his latest single “Whiskey Drink,” featured on his album Highway Desperado. Recently, kicking off his “Full Throttle Tour” with sold out dates at the Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, OH (5/23), Budweiser Stage in Toronto, Canada (5/24) and the Broadview Stage at SPAC in Saratoga Springs, NY (5/25), the country music superstar is bringing his hit packed show to CMA Fest this week in Nashville as he closes out Nissan Stadium on the opening night, Thursday, June 5 before heading back out on the road in July.

With this latest accolade, Jason joins an elite class of entertainers who have logged 30+ #1 hits throughout their career like George Strait, Tim McGraw, Ronnie Milsap, Merle Haggard, Alan Jackson, Reba McEntire and Blake Shelton. 

“30 #1s is a huge milestone, and I couldn’t let it go by without thanking the fans, country radio, the songwriters, BMG and the best promo team in the business,” says Jason Aldean. “I appreciate all the support we have gotten from everyone over the last 20 years. And, I don’t plan on going anywhere anytime soon; so, I’m working hard on getting this next round of music out and can’t wait to share it soon.”

“I always say icons come from the fringes and Jason Aldean exemplifies that without question,” says Jon Loba, President, Frontline Recordings, BMG Americas. “When many questioned his music early on, he was uncompromising and in the process, added an entirely new sound to the genre that many tried to chase, but none could replicate.  Today, he registers his 30th #1, while continuing to sell out arenas and amphitheaters. We at BMG look forward to him shaping the sound of Country music for years to come.”

BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville ACM Awards Wins & Recap - Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll & Jason Aldean

Lainey Wilson, Jelly Roll and Jason Aldean proved the stars were shining bright at the 2024 Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards airing live on Amazon from The Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, TX, world headquarters of the Dallas Cowboys. The aforementioned BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville artists would end the night capturing four awards and delivering three of the most memorable and breakout moments on the show.


Lainey Wilson kicked off the ACMs with her rendition of "God Blessed Texas" transitioning it into the broadcast debut performance of her latest single "Hang Tight Honey", delivering an electrifying performance that set the tone for "Country Music's Party of the Year." By the close of the broadcast, Lainey would earn the distinction of becoming the most awarded female artist of the night, securing the top honor as Entertainer of the Year. She also captured awards for Female Artist of the Year and Music Event of the Year for "Save Me" Jelly Roll with Lainey Wilson. 


In her Entertainer of the Year Acceptance speech Lainey shared, "These past few years for us has been a complete whirlwind. I have been in Nashville for 13 years doing this. First of all, I want to say thank you so much, Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you to my team who fights for me every single day, who works so hard. My band - they show up. WME for booking me, all the time, everywhere. Y'all I remember being a little girl and I would climb out on the top of our roof. I'd open my window and climb out. I'd count all the stars and I'd look up and see the planes flying over my little town of 200 people. I'd dream about being up there in one of those planes and this year it is so crazy. We have already toured the UK, Europe & Australia and we're about to start our American leg. The funny thing is that I still feel like that little girl.I really do. I feel like I still climb out on the roof and I look at the stars, except I feel like I'm a little more eye level with them now. Everybody in this category has loved on me and believed in me, took me out on the road, sang songs with me, wrote with me, encouraged me every step of the way and I love y'all for that. I have the best fans in the world. Thank you so much. God bless y'all."


Jelly Roll, a first time nominee, would capture his first ACM Award for Music Event of the Year for "Save Me" with Lainey Wilson.  Giving the audience a first look at the his new music, Jelly Roll premiered an unreleased, fiery song, "Liar" on the broadcast. 


In his acceptance speech, Jelly Roll stated, "I'm gonna try not to get emotional, but no pun intended, seriously, this song saved me. I was in a dark place. I wrote it from my soul. I knew people would connect with it. One year ago today, Lainey Wilson and I stood on this stage and debuted it. This song is a triple-platinum record. I wrote it with a high school friend. We never thought we'd be songwriters. I never thought I'd be standing here. I thought I would die or go to jail and I'm standing here as an ACM Award winner. You hear what I am talking about Texas! Let's go baby!"

ason Aldean, the ACM Artist of the Decade, took to the stage at The Star to honor the trailblazing and legendary Toby Keith who passed in February 2024. The "wonderfully touching" (Daily Wire) tribute "stole the show Thursday...with a moving rendition of Keith's hit 'Should've Been a Cowboy'" (Tennessean).

JOHN MORGAN’S “FRIENDS LIKE THAT (FEAT. JASON ALDEAN)” IMPACTS RADIO TODAY

Multi #1 hit singer-songwriter John Morgan’s debut single “Friends Like That (feat. Jason Aldean)” impacts country radio today, claiming the week’s #1 most-added accolade with 64 first-week stations. Listen to the new song below.

Releasing a ramped up, new version of his fan-favorite song, John enlisted his buddy and mentor country superstar Jason Aldean for some vice-induced good times post breakup. Making us wish we all had friends like that, having toured with Aldean, Riley Green, ERNEST and Jameson Rodgers, John just made his Grand Ole Opry debut, as this barn burner raised its hand. Racking up over 30 MILLION on-demand streams, the rowdy party-starter was originally featured on his recently released debut EP Remember Us? Explore the EP HERE

“To have Jason Aldean as a mentor over the past few years, he went from being someone I was a fan of  to someone I call a friend, so it’s extra special to have him on one of my songs,” says John. “Having a song on the radio is what you always dream about when you pursue this career. I grew up on country radio and to know that another kid might grow up with me on the radio and want to pursue a music career too is a really cool thought.”

“I’ve been in town here in Nashville for 25 years, and John Morgan is one of the most talented guys I’ve ever come across in all aspects - as a singer, as a songwriter and as a performer,” says Aldean. “It’s a really cool thing for me as an artist to sign another artist, so jumping on this song that’s also jump starting his career along with going to radio, I’m excited for what’s to come from John Morgan and glad he’s one of ours and on our team.”

Praised by People as “a solo artist intriguing enough to watch,” the BBR Music Group/Broken Bow Records/Night Train Records artist co-wrote the song with Brent Anderson, Will Bundy and Lydia Vaughan. Produced by Aldean with his long-time bandmates, prolific #1 songwriters Kurt Allison and Tully Kennedy, “Friends Like That” is “a live concert favorite whose banjo and steel underpinnings still allow room for a hard-rocking core” (Tennessean)

Having written a multitude of songs for not only Aldean but Jon Pardi, Dustin Lynch, Thomas Rhett, George Birge, Michael Ray and more, John is readying even more new music, while hitting the road for renowned country music festivals this summer such as Nashville’s CMA Fest and Panama City Beach’s Gulf Coast Jam.

About John Morgan:

With a style that’s defined by melodic grit and a craftsman’s approach to songwriting, John Morgan brings a blue-collar toughness to country that’s pulled straight from the only life he knows. Hailing from a tiny town called Sylva, deep in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, John grew up immersed in bluegrass tradition and even toured the festival circuit each summer in a family band, before diving into songwriting, inspired by six-string legends from Tony Rice to John Mayer. More than a year after selling everything he had to follow his dream, an only-in-Nashville story involving Uber drivers and impressive demos led to a writing session with Kurt Allison and Tully Kennedy — two incredible songwriters and longtime bandmates of Country superstar Jason Aldean. That session led to the superstar cutting numerous songs written by John, including #1 hit singles “Trouble With A Heartbreak” and the GRAMMY® nominated, ACM Single of the Year “If I Didn’t Love You” with Carrie Underwood. Signed to Aldean’s Night Train Records, his imprint with BBR Music Group, the sought-after, naturally gifted songwriter who has written for Jon Pardi, Dustin Lynch, Thomas Rhett and more and toured with Aldean, ERNEST, Riley Green and Jameson Rodgers - now continues to cross off bucket-list items. Having made his Grand Ole Opry debut and released an anthemic debut EP Remember Us?, John’s barn-burner, fan-favorite track “Friends Like That (feat. Jason Aldean)” is available now and currently climbing the country radio charts.

In addition to three tracks co-written by Aldean, the album features “Tough Crowd” - which he debuted at the 2023 ACM Awards as an Entertainer of the Year nominee - as well as his career first Hot 100 chart-topping hit, “Try That In A Small Town,” and fan-favorite tracks “Let Your Boys Be Country” and “Whiskey Drink.” Produced by longtime producer Michael Knox, Highway Desperado is the follow up to Aldean’s tenth studio album, MACON, GEORGIA, which debuted to critical acclaim, with Stereogum naming it an "Album of the Week” and the Tennessean praising that “MACON, GEORGIA finds Aldean honed in on his vision for this era of his career” and “kicks off his career's next era.” The project featured the history-making, multi-week No. 1 "powerful duet" (Rolling Stone) ”If I Didn’t Love You” with Carrie Underwood, which earned Aldean his 26th career #1 at Country radio and won ACM Single of the Year, iHeartRadio Country Song of the Year, and CMT Collaborative Video of the Year as well as Billboard and GRAMMY nominations.

JOHN MORGAN & JASON ALDEAN RELEASE “FRIENDS LIKE THAT” AVAILABLE NOW

Releasing a ramped up, new version of his fan-favorite “Friends Like That,” impacting radio on Monday, April 22, multi #1 hit songwriter John Morgan enlists his buddy and mentor country superstar Jason Aldean for some vice-induced good times post breakup. Making us wish we all had friends like that, having toured with Aldean, Riley Green, ERNEST and Jameson Rodgers, John just made his Grand Ole Opry debut, as this barn burner raised its hand. Racking up over 28 MILLION on-demand streams, the rowdy party-starter was originally featured on his recently released debut EP Remember Us? Listen to the new song below and explore the EP HERE

“To have Jason Aldean as a mentor over the past few years, he went from being someone I was a fan of  to someone I call a friend, so it’s extra special to have him on one of my songs,” says John. “Having a song on the radio is what you always dream about when you pursue this career. I grew up on country radio and to know that another kid might grow up with me on the radio and want to pursue a music career too is a really cool thought.”

“I’ve been in town here in Nashville for 25 years, and John Morgan is one of the most talented guys I’ve ever come across in all aspects - as a singer, as a songwriter and as a performer,” says Aldean. “It’s a really cool thing for me as an artist to sign another artist, so jumping on this song that’s also jumpstarting his career along with going to radio, I’m excited for what’s to come from John Morgan and glad he’s one of ours and on our team.”

Praised by People as “a solo artist intriguing enough to watch,” the BBR Music Group/Broken Bow Records/Night Train Records artist co-wrote the song with Brent Anderson, Will Bundy and Lydia Vaughan. Produced by Aldean with his long-time bandmates, prolific #1 songwriters Kurt Allison and Tully Kennedy, “Friends Like That” is “a live concert favorite whose banjo and steel underpinnings still allow room for a hard-rocking core” (Tennessean)

The new rendition of “Friends Like That (feat. Jason Aldean)” follows John’s debut EP, Remember Us? The six-song project mixes John’s signature “sad-boy country” heartbreakers with lively up-tempo barn burners, effortlessly flowing between romantic relatability and nostalgia to crank-it-to-ten singalongs. “Oozing with validity, Morgan's subtle twang is undeniably fresh and is a swift and welcomed return to the traditional sounds…that fans also crave” (All Country News), “standing apart from the rest of the Country crowd, as he brings a more traditional Country flair to the Pop-Country sounds of today’s genre” (Songwriter Universe). 

Having written a multitude of songs for not only Aldean but Jon Pardi, Dustin Lynch, Thomas Rhett and more, John is readying even more new music, while hitting the road for renowned country music festivals this summer such as Nashville’s CMA Fest and Panama City Beach’s Gulf Coast Jam.

About John Morgan:

With a style that’s defined by melodic grit and a craftsman’s approach to songwriting, John Morgan brings a blue-collar toughness to country that’s pulled straight from the only life he knows. Hailing from a tiny town called Sylva, deep in the Great Smoky Mountains of North Carolina, John grew up immersed in bluegrass tradition and even toured the festival circuit each summer in a family band, before diving into songwriting, inspired by six-string legends from Tony Rice to John Mayer. More than a year after selling everything he had to follow his dream, an only-in-Nashville story involving Uber drivers and impressive demos led to a writing session with Kurt Allison and Tully Kennedy — two incredible songwriters and longtime bandmates of Country superstar Jason Aldean. That session led to the superstar cutting numerous songs written by John, including #1 hit singles “Trouble With A Heartbreak” and the GRAMMY® nominated, ACM Single of the Year “If I Didn’t Love You” with Carrie Underwood. Signed to Aldean’s Night Train Records, his imprint with BBR Music Group, the sought-after, naturally gifted songwriter who has written for Jon Pardi, Dustin Lynch, Thomas Rhett and more and toured with Aldean, ERNEST, Riley Green and Jameson Rodgers - now continues to cross off bucket-list items. Having made his Grand Ole Opry debut, released an anthemic debut EP Remember Us?, John’s barn-burner, fan-favorite track “Friends Like That (feat. Jason Aldean)” is available now and impacts radio on April 22.
