Aldean extends Wide Open tour

Monday, July 12, 2010 – Jason Aldean will extend his Wide Open arena tour into the fall with an additional 25 dates across the nation. After selling out 39 shows on the first run and breaking attendance records on both coasts, the tour will kick back off on Sept. 10 with special guest Luke Bryan joining on most dates.

"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," said Aldean. "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. There are a few things to count on...the music will be loud, the beer will be cold, and college football will be on every TV backstage and in the parking lot."

Macon, Georgia

Jason Aldean's 10th studio album "Georgia "initially seems like yeoman's effort. As the second half of a double album that follows last year's "Macon," the collection boasts 30 songs; 20 are new.
