Country music fans, mark your calendars because the honky-tonk maestro Jason Aldean is rolling into the Pittsburgh area with his guitar and band this summer. As WPXI reports, Aldean's Full Throttle Tour is set to grace The Pavilion at Star Lake on Aug. 19. Providing the opening action are special guests Nate Smith, RaeLynn, and Dee Jay Silver, priming the crowd before Aldean's performance.

Jason Aldean hits the road again with a career as seasoned as a Georgia barbecue, riding the wave of nearly 30 No. 1 hits, countless streams, and impressive album sales that set him apart. As part of the ACM Artist of the Decade’s North American tour, his stop in Burgettstown promises fans a mix of classic favorites and fresh hits. Adding to the excitement, Dee Jay Silver will keep the energy high, spinning tracks to fire the Pittsburgh crowd.

Notably, Aldean's 2023 "Highway Desperado" launched him straight to the top of the Hot 100 chart with the thumping track "Try That In A Small Town." That single's success paved the way for Billboard Award nominations for "Top Song Sales Artist" and "Top Selling Song," according to the Live Nation press release noted by CBS News Pittsburgh. Aldean's accolades hardly need overstating, but they keep piling up like hits on a jukebox.

If you want to set your summer to the tune of guitar riffs and anthemic choruses, the time to snatch up tickets is nigh. With fans as eager as a new puppy, the presale for these coveted passes begins on Friday, offering first dibs to the dedicated followers. General sales are set to start Jan. 24 at 10 a.m. and don't be surprised if they go as fast as a speeding tractor.
