Country music fans in the Southeastern Conference almost had a come-apart Saturday morning when superstar artists Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean announced an upcoming concert live on SEC Nation.
Host Laura Rutledge referred the April 25, 2026 concert at Sanford Stadium in Athens, Ga., as a “Homecoming Between The Hedges”, as the duo also played on the home turf of the Georgia Bulldogs 12 years ago.
“When you were announcing it, I got chill bumps,” Bryan said.
“Luke and I had a chance to play Sanford Stadium in 2013, the first and only concert to be held there,” Aldean said. “So to be able to go back and do it again will be amazing. It was my favorite show I have ever done.”
Bryan and Aldean first rocked Sanford Stadium as part of Aldean’s Night Train tour, which marked the one and only concert event ever to be held in the venue. They are set to return and headline the all-star line-up, which also includes current ACM nominee Zach Top and platinum-selling singer and Georgia native Lauren Alaina as well as DJ Rock and Dee Jay Silver,
Both Aldean’s and Bryan’s fan club members will have ticket presales starting Monday at 10 am local time through Oct. 2 at 10 pm local time. Tickets to the public are on sale Oct. 3 at 10 am local time. For tickets go to LukeBryan.com, JasonAldean.com or GeorgiaDogs.com.
