Jason Aldean will be hitting the road this summer and fall.
On Saturday (May 15), the country music star shared news of his upcoming U.S. tour during his socially distanced show as part of the Concerts on the Farm series on the Bonnaroo festival site in Manchester, Tenn.
“It’s been emotional being back on stage with my band for the first time in a year this weekend,” Aldean said. “It’s made us all even more ready to get back to life as we all know it. Being on the road makes all of us — the band, the crew and me — happy and I haven’t felt this excited about going on tour in 15 years.”
Aldean’s forthcoming Back in the Saddle Tour 2021 launches Aug. 5 at the Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater in Virginia Beach, Va., and wraps Oct. 30 at the MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre in Tampa, Fla.
Special guests on select dates of the Live Nation-produced trek will include HARDY, Lainey Wilson and Dee Jay Silver. Tickets go on sale to the general public on May 21 at jasonaldean.com.
Last month, Aldean shared his enthusiasm for returning to the stage after the yearlong COVID-19 pandemic concert freeze.
“You could’ve asked me to play a gas station at this point and I would say yes,” the singer wrote on his website when announcing the Bonnaroo Farm gigs. “So being able to set up the full show with all the band guys plugged in is going to make for a really good time. We’re going to turn it up — there’s nobody out there to bother — and make up for some lost time, for sure.”
