Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan are teaming up to perform on Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium, on the campus of the University of Georgia, on April 25, 2026, as part of the first-ever “Live Between the Hedges” concert series presented by Pruitt Health.
The reigning ACM Artist of the Decade and five-time Entertainer of the Year joined SEC Nation on Saturday morning (Sept. 27) to make the announcement in person from the University of Georgia’s campus, ahead of tonight’s Georgia Bulldogs vs. Alabama Crimson Tide game.
Aldean shared in a statement, “Playing Sanford Stadium in 2013 was one of the biggest highlights of my career. I couldn’t be more excited to co-headline it this time with my buddy Luke Bryan. Luke and I have talked for years about wanting to do another show in Athens, and finally the stars have aligned for us to be able to do it. This one’s gonna be something people haven’t seen before… WE PROMISE YA!”
“Growing up, going to Sanford Stadium was always a highlight of the year for me and I can’t believe I get to go back as a co-headliner with one of my best friends and play this iconic place,” Bryan added. “Aldean and I have been talking about putting on a unique show together for a few years, and to be able to do that in our home turf is incredible. I am so grateful to continue to have these opportunities and to keep being able to have so much fun at this life. This is going to be way up there on the list for me!”
Current ACM nominee Zach Top and platinum-selling singer Lauren Alaina, as well as DJ Rock and Dee Jay Silver, will serve as support on the show. “Live Between The Hedges” Concert Series is presented By Pruitt Health, is brought by a partnership with DOES Entertainment and Dugas-Jackson Consulting.
Bryan and Aldean, two Georgia natives, first lit up Sanford Stadium in 2013 during Aldean’s Night Train Tour, the stadium’s first and only concert to date.
“As we worked on bringing concerts back to Sanford Stadium, it was important that we find a group with Georgia roots,” Josh Brooks, J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics, said. “We have always had a strong partnership with Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan and appreciate their passion for their home state and this university. Zach Top and Lauren Alaina are the perfect complement to what will be a fun night in Athens.”
“We could not be more excited to partner with Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan to bring concerts back to Sanford Stadium. Their deep passion for the University of Georgia and their enthusiasm to help us relaunch this concert series speaks volumes to their commitment to this state,” Tanner Stines, Georgia Associate Athletic Director, added. “We are also excited to welcome Zach Top and Lauren Alaina – two of the best up-and-coming artists today. This collaboration is a celebration of music, tradition, and the incredible energy that defines Bulldog Nation.”
