Jason Aldean returned to the road this week on his Full Throttle Tour, but Winter Storm Fern has already thrown a wrench in the plans, forcing the country superstar to postpone his Charleston, West Virginia show to a later date.
Aldean was scheduled to perform at the Charleston Coliseum on Saturday, Jan. 24 as part of his latest headlining run. According to a statement from the venue, which was later shared by the Georgia native himself, the show has been rescheduled for Friday, August 21.
The statement reads:
Jason Aldean’s performance at Charleston Coliseum on Saturday, January 24th, has been rescheduled to Friday, August 21st, due to inclement weather. All previously purchased tickets will be owned for the new date, and additional tickets are on sale now at LiveNation.com. We apologize for the inconvenience.
According to his website, Aldean’s next scheduled performance is January 29 at the Bryce Jordan Center in University Park, Pennsylvania, followed by shows in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and Atlantic City, New Jersey. After that, he’ll take a short break from the road before heading to Australia and New Zealand.
This marks Aldean’s return to Australia for the first time since 2016, when he made history as the first headlining artist to sell out CMC Rocks QLD Country Music Festival.
Upon returning to the United States, Aldean will head back to his home state of Georgia for a special show at Sanford Stadium (Dooley Field) at the University of Georgia on April 25, where he will perform alongside fellow Georgia native Luke Bryan.
The longtime friends first rocked Sanford Stadium in 2013 as part of Aldean’s Night Train Tour, which at the time was the only concert ever held at the venue. The upcoming show will feature openers Zach Top, Lauren Alaina, DJ Rock, and Dee Jay Silver. The Live Between the Hedges concert series is presented by Pruitt Health.
This highly anticipated concert falls amid release week for Aldean’s upcoming 20-track album, Songs About Us, slated to drop on April 24. The project features collaborations with Bryan, his wife, Brittany Aldean, and his latest hit single, “How Far Does A Goodbye Go.”
