Jason Aldean tour stays on ‘Wide Open’ road for fall concerts

Country musician Jason Aldean is traveling the nation this summer for a series of performances at festivals and other special events. But when the calendar flips from summer into fall, he’ll stay on the road for his own headline run of the nation’s arenas.

The next leg of Aldean’s Wide Open Tour kicks off September 10 at the Expo Center in Corbin, KY, and runs through a November 20 show at Gwinnett Center in Duluth, GA. The 25-date trek will feature Luke Bryan as a special guest in most cities, with Uncle Kracker also opening on a few select dates.

Along the way, Aldean also has performances lined up on September 18 at the Wachovia Arena in Wilkes-Barre, PA; October 2 at Colonial Life Arena in Columbia, SC; and October 23 at iWireless Center in Moline, IL.

Ticket sales have already started for a few dates of the fall tour, while public onsales open July 16-17 in other select markets. Current listings on Ticketmaster.com show face values range from lows around $30 up to nearly $50.

An earlier leg of the Wide Open Tour fared well on the national market and sold out in 39 cities, according to a statement on Aldean’s official Web site.

“We’ve had such a great year with some really big songs and our first big arena tour, and I’m just not ready to move on from it quite yet,” Aldean said in the statement. “All of us…my band, crew, Luke, and his guys…we’ve been having a blast out on the road together. I think the fans can feel that too.”

The musician’s summer calendar continues July 16 with an appearance at the Craven Country Jamboree in Craven, SK, which is one of just a few Canadian appearances inked for Aldean. The current itinerary features more than 20 performances, and takes a brief break after an August 29 event at CMAC in Canandaigua, NY.
