Jason Aldean Announces 2025 ‘Full Throttle’ Tour with Nashville Stop
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Country music star Jason Aldean will embark on a 36-date North American tour in 2025, including a highly anticipated return to Nashville‘s Bridgestone Arena on Aug. 7. The “Full Throttle” tour, sponsored by Patriot Mobile, will feature supporting acts Nate Smith, RaeLynn, and Dee Jay Silver.
The tour kicks off on May 23, 2025, at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, and will conclude on Oct. 4, 2025, at iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach, Florida. Other notable stops include Toronto’s Budweiser Stage, Denver’s Ball Arena, and Charleston’s Credit One Stadium.
Tickets will be available through an artist presale starting Jan. 22, with additional presales throughout the week. General on-sale begins Jan. 24 at 10 a.m. local time.
Aldean, a three-time Entertainer of the Year and the Academy of Country Music’s 2010s Artist of the Decade, made the tour announcement during Donald J. Trump‘s Liberty Ball inauguration festivities in Washington, D.C. “I’ve done a lot of things in my career, a lot of things I never thought I would do, but playing for the inauguration for one of our presidents is something that I’ve never done. It’s a special day for me; I’m honored to be here,” Aldean told CBS Mornings.
The Georgia native, who has been a vocal supporter of Trump, has often spoken about the challenges of being a conservative in the entertainment industry. “At some point, it’s gotten to where if you’re a conservative and you’re in this business, you’re not allowed to speak,” he said in a 2021 interview. “It’s hard to go lay my head down at night with a clear conscience, feeling like I’m a coward for not saying the things that I want to say or I feel like need to be said.”
Aldean’s 2023 hit “Try That In A Small Town” catapulted him to crossover superstardom but also sparked controversy. The song and its accompanying music video faced online backlash for perceived pro-gun violence and lynching sentiments. Despite the controversy, the track resonated with fans who felt it reflected conservative, Libertarian, and rural-friendly values.
With nearly two decades in the music industry, Aldean continues to be a dominant force in country music, blending traditional sounds with modern themes that resonate with a broad audience.
