From United Spirit Arena:
ACM Entertainer of the Year nominee Jason Aldean
has been on a strong and steady climb, breaking all-genre sales and
touring records in over 40 venues over the last two years, with no sign
of slowing down. Today the CMA and ACM Award winner announced that his 2013 Night Train Tour will stop in Lubbock on Saturday, May 4 at United Spirit Arena.
Special guests Jake Owen and Thomas Rhett will open the show.
"The thing I'm most excited is getting
to add some new songs off the 'Night Train' album into my show," said
Aldean. "As a musician, it's great to be able to shake up the set list
and think of cool ways to present these new songs in the live show. I'm
a big fan of both Jake and Thomas Rhett, so it'll be awesome to have
those guys out with us."
Aldean solidified his stadium headliner status when the first announced stadium dates of the 2013 Night Train Tour
sold out in just minutes at the on sales. In 2013 Aldean will play to
sold out crowds at the University of Georgia's Sanford Stadium in
Athens, GA (4/13), with a two-night stand at Boston's Fenway Park (7/12
and 7/13) before heading to Wrigley Field in Chicago. In addition, he
sold out New York City's iconic Madison Square Garden in under 10
minutes for his March 2 stop there.
The Macon, GA native recently debuted
the third single off NIGHT TRAIN, "1994," giving country radio a dose of
nostalgia unlike anything heard before. The song follows seven
consecutive No. one hits for Aldean which include NIGHT TRAIN's "Take A
Little Ride," and "The Only Way I Know" feat. Luke Bryan and Eric
Church.
