Country Powerhouses Return to Their Georgia Roots
In what’s shaping up to be one of the biggest country music events of 2025, Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan have officially announced a co-headlining stadium show at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Georgia on April 25th.
The announcement, which dropped across social media today, confirmed that rising star Zach Top and fan-favorite Lauren Alaina will join the lineup, promising a full night of Southern sound, homegrown energy, and unforgettable performances.
A Full-Circle Moment for Two Georgia Boys
Both Aldean and Bryan hail from Georgia and have long expressed pride in their Southern roots. Returning to Athens — the heart of Georgia Bulldogs country and one of the South’s most iconic college towns — adds an emotional layer to the already massive event.
“Coming back home always hits different,” Luke Bryan said in the teaser video shared online. “There’s nothing like playing for your people.”
Jason Aldean echoed the sentiment, calling the Sanford Stadium show “a dream venue” and “something we’ve wanted to do for a long time.”
