For the first time in a decade, American country artist Jason Aldean returns to Australia in 2026.
The ACM Artist Of The Decade, and 'You Make It Easy' and 'Dirt Road Anthem' hitmaker will headline concerts in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney as well as playing the inaugural Sunburnt Country music festival dates in Toowoomba, Hunter Valley and Canberra next February-March.With 30 #1 career hits at country radio, nearly 20 billion streams, and more than 20 million albums sold, Aldean is a certified country music superstar who has released 11 studio albums (his most recent being 2023's 'Highway Desperado') earning 5 Grammy Award nominations along the way.
Jason's most recent release is his 2025 EP 'Whiskey Drink' that includes the older tracks 'Big Green Tractor' and 'Burnin' It Down'. "'Whiskey Drink' is officially our 30th #1! Huge thank you to country radio, my team, the writers, and to all of you for listening and loving this one. Cheers 🥃!" posted Aldean recently.
Aldean's two-plus decade career has seen him release chart-topping hit after chart-topping hit including 'Don't You Wanna Stay', 'Fly Over States', 'She's Country', 'Amarillo Sky', 'The Truth' and 'My Kinda Party'.
Joining the tour as well will be rising country-rock musician Corey Kent, who has just achieved the #1 country song in America with 'This Heart' from his 2024 album 'Black Bandana'.
"Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be raising a glass with Brooks & Dunn as they told me I had the #1 song in country music. This ride just keeps getting better and better," Corey posted.
"There's so much backstory on this song. Felt like the devil himself wanted to keep this from going to the top. Would've been easier to wave the white flag. . . but that ain't the black bandana way.
"In December of last year, I sat outside my house in Texas and threw my hands up. I said 'God, I'm done trying to outwork you. I'll never give up, but if you want something to succeed, it will. This song, my career, my life, my family. . . it's all in your hands.'
"Fast forward, now I', celebrating with my heroes. Thanks to my team (you know who you are) who relentlessly fought to get this song into the hands of real country music fans. Thanks to the fans for screaming this song back to us night after night. Thank you Jesus for this life I don't deserve 🙏🏼🏴☠️."
