Country star Jason Aldean is set to bring his music to fans across North America with the forthcoming "Full Throttle Tour" in the summer of 2025. In an announcement that came out yesterday, details released indicate that Aldean will kick things off in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, with the tour continuing through October, hitting major arenas, amphitheaters, and even a couple of stadiums along the way. According to Billboard, fans can look forward to an artist presale starting today, followed by other presale opportunities leading up to the general onsale, which begins on Friday at 10 a.m. local time.
The "Highway Desperado" artist's tour features a lineup that includes special guests Nate Smith, RaeLynn, and Dee Jay Silver. It is produced by Live Nation and even includes a co-headlining stadium show with Brooks & Dunn at Fenway Park in Boston on May 30. Houston's culture enthusiasts can get to fully immerse themselves come August 15 when Aldean will perform at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion as part of a three-city Texas run, as reported by the Houston CultureMap.
This tour marks an important milestone in Aldean's career as it coincides with the 20th anniversary of his self-titled debut album. Over those two decades, Aldean has released 12 studio albums, with his most recent being "Highway Desperado" in 2023. He has managed to secure seven No. 1 albums on the Billboard Country chart, and his songs have resonated widely, with "Try That in a Small Town" hitting No. 1 on the overall Billboard Hot 100. Not resting on his laurels, the artist is currently in the studio working on new music featuring 10 songs, one purported to be another iconic anthem, as teased in a statement obtained by Billboard.
Aldean's tour also follows some controversy surrounding the video for "Small Town," which was removed by CMT shortly after its release due to depictions some viewed as pro-gun and pro-violence. Filmed in front of a location with a fraught history, the Maury County Courthouse, the video drew sharp criticism. Aldean clarified in an interview featured by Billboard that "It was never intended to go in and specifically write something that was gonna stir the pot. It just came from a place of, this is on our mind." He expressed that the song came about not as a call to controversy but as a reflection of America as he sees it.

The Full Throttle Tour is gearing up to offer a wide swath of concerts ranging from the nostalgic throwback of 20 years in the industry to new anthems that are sure to make an impact on the country music scene.
