Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean are reuniting for a co-headlining concert at the University of Georgia’s Sanford Stadium.

On Saturday (Sept. 27), the Georgia-born country stars and longtime friends announced they’ll take the stage together at the approximately 93,000-capacity venue in Athens on April 25, 2026.

This marks the first concert at Sanford Stadium in more than a decade. The last time the venue hosted live music was in 2013, when Aldean headlined his Night Train Tour (with Bryan as the opening act at the show), making them the first artists ever to perform a concert at the stadium.

The upcoming UGA concert will also feature performances from country acts Zach Top and Lauren Alaina, along with appearances by DJ Rock and Dee Jay Silver.

Pre-sale tickets for Aldean and Bryan’s fan club members will be available starting Monday (Sept. 29). General ticket sales begin Oct. 3.

The 2026 show will kick off the newly launched Live Between the Hedges Concert Series Presented by Pruitt Health. Additional events had not yet been announced at press time.

Aldean and Bryan made the surprise announcement live on SEC Nation, just hours ahead of Saturday night’s game between the Georgia Bulldogs and Alabama Crimson Tide at Sanford Stadium. They shared the news in front of a fired-up crowd of UGA students.

“Luke and I had a chance to play at Sanford Stadium in 2013, the first concert — and only concert, I think — to ever be held there,” Aldean said during the broadcast. “To be able to go back again and do it again, Luke and I doing that together, is going to be pretty incredible. My favorite show we’ve ever done right there.”
