Jason Aldean is expanding his headline run into 2026, with new dates added across New Zealand and Australia.
Today’s announcement from the country music powerhouse reveals that the just-added international leg of his FULL THROTTLE Tour will mark Aldean’s first time headlining New Zealand. Additionally, he will return to Australia for the first time since headlining in 2016, when he made history as the first headlining artist to sell out CMC Rocks QLD Country Music Festival.
Aldean’s 2026 international run will kick off on February 19, 2026 at Spark Arena in Auckland. From there, he will deliver six Australian headlining shows across Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, and more with Corey Kent serving as a special guest.
The Georgia native has also been tapped to headline the inaugural country music experience, Sunburnt Country, with headlining shows scheduled in Toowoomba, Hunter Valley, and Canberra. Opening the 2026 international leg is Corey Kent, who will join for all dates, as well as Brad Cox, who will support the Sunburnt Country shows.
Produced by Live Nation, Aldean’s FULL THROTTLE TOUR is set to resume July 17th in Tulsa, OK after launching earlier this year (May 2025). Previously announced dates across the US include Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, Denver’s Ball Arena, Grand Rapid’s Van Andel Arena, Charleston’s Credit One Stadium, West Palm Beach, FL’s iTHINK Financial Amphitheatre, and more.
Before he heads abroad, Jason Aldean has a packed scheduled of U.S. tour dates to finish out through the end of the year. Produced by Live Nation, the FULL THROTTLE TOUR first launched in May and is set to pick back up on July 17th, 2025 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The first leg of the trek featured dates across major U.S. cities including Nashville, Denver, Grand Rapids, Charleston, and West Palm Beach.
