How Jason Aldean Tour Openers Get Announced

Most Jason Aldean tour openers aren't named when tickets go on sale. The supporting act is locked in per-region (sometimes per-show) and appears on the event listing in the weeks before each stop. Open any date above to see whether the opener is confirmed yet — listings here refresh daily, so the support act shows up as soon as the seller names it.

For headliners at Jason Aldean's scale, expect a single opener doing a 30 to 45 minute set, sometimes with a regional rotation (a Canadian opener for CA dates, a US opener for the American leg). The opener slot doesn't require a separate ticket — your Jason Aldean ticket covers the full show.

How to Find the Confirmed Jason Aldean Opener for Your City

1. Pick your city from the tour-date list above.
2. Open that date — the event page lists the confirmed opener once the seller has named one, next to the available tickets.
3. Compare seats there — one ticket covers the opener and Jason Aldean, so choose by section and price, not by lineup.
4. Watch for updates — openers are sometimes added 2 to 4 weeks out, so check back if it's still TBA.

Do I Need a Separate Ticket for the Opener?

No. The Jason Aldean ticket you buy from Ticketmaster covers the entire show — opener + headliner — at the same venue, same night. Doors usually open 60 to 90 minutes before the advertised start time; the opener typically performs first, with a 20 to 30 minute changeover before Jason Aldean takes the stage.

About Jason Aldean

Jason Aldine Williams was born February 28, 1977 in Macon, Georgia and raised between his mother's house in Macon and his father's place in Homestead, Florida, splitting summers between the two through his childhood. He picked up a guitar at fourteen, started playing the Macon honky-tonk and VFW circuit in his teens under his own name, and signed his first development deal with a Warner Bros. subsidiary in 1998 before that label folded out from under him. He spent the next five years writing in Nashville, getting passed over by every major in town, and supporting his family on a series of demo-singer gigs and short-money showcases before Broken Bow Records — then a small independent — signed him in 2004.

The self-titled debut landed in July 2005 with "Hicktown" as the leadoff single; "Why", the second single, became his first No. 1 country airplay hit. Relentless followed in 2007 and went platinum on the strength of "Johnny Cash" and "Laughed Until We Cried". Wide Open in 2009 was the commercial breakthrough — "She's Country", "Big Green Tractor" and "The Truth" all hit No. 1 — and pushed Aldean from arena support slot to headline status. My Kinda Party in October 2010 was the landmark: certified four-times platinum, it produced five No. 1 singles including the Kelly Clarkson duet "Don't You Wanna Stay" and the genre-defining "Dirt Road Anthem", a country-rap hybrid that broke streaming records and put Aldean in the cross-format conversation. Night Train (2012), Old Boots New Dirt (2014), They Don't Know (2016), Rearview Town (2018), 9 (2019) and the Macon-and-Georgia double album (2021-2022) kept the No. 1 singles rolling.

On October 1, 2017, Aldean was the closing headliner at Las Vegas's Route 91 Harvest Festival when a gunman opened fire on the festival crowd from the Mandalay Bay Resort across the Strip. Fifty-eight festival-goers were killed and hundreds wounded in what remains the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history; Aldean was unharmed and was hosted on Saturday Night Live the following weekend, where he opened the show with a tribute performance of Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down". He has returned to the road every year since and continues to perform "I Won't Back Down" at select dates as a quiet acknowledgment of the festival victims. The 2023 single "Try That in a Small Town", from Highway Desperado, drew significant controversy over its music video before fan-driven streaming pushed it to No. 1 on the all-genre Hot 100 — the first country chart-topper of his career on that chart. Aldean is married to former American Idol contestant Brittany Kerr, lives outside Nashville and continues to record for Broken Bow under the BBR Music Group / BMG umbrella.
