Opening Acts

Fans flocking to arenas to sing along with Aldean will be crooning along with a few other top country artists as well. Both Kane Brown and Carly Pearce will appear on each date, along with Dee Jay Silver, who will keep the crowd hyped between sets.

A Kentucky native, Pearce spent much of 2018 on the road with Blake Shelton, Thomas Rhett, Rascal Flatts, and Luke Bryan following the release of her No. 1 hit, "Every Little Thing," in 2017. She made her way back to the charts with her debut single, "Closer to You," from her sophomore album.

First garnering attention on social media, Kane Brown released his first EP, titled Closer, in June 2015, and signed with RCA Nashville in early 2016. He released his first full-length album, the self-titled Kane Brown, in December fo 2016, and became the first artist to have simultaneous number ones on all five main Billboard's country charts in October of 2017.

"Kane was out with us a couple years ago, and I just kind of hit it off with him," Aldean said at a number one party in Nashville after announcing the tour. "He's kind of become my little brother almost, and so when I go on tour, I mean, I wanna be out there with guys that I like hanging out with, and it doesn't hurt that Kane's on fire right now. I mean, he's hot as it gets, so I'm just excited to have him back out. I'm excited to see his show, but also just to kind of have a buddy out there on tour with us for the year."

"Carly, I think it's great to have a female out on the show just to kind of change it up a little bit," he continued. "We had Lauren Alaina out last year, and I thought that worked out really well, so Carly, coming off a big year, she's doing really well, so I think it's gonna be fun."

"I JUST GOT FRONT ROW TICKETS TO JASON ALDEAN IN SEPTEMBER AND IM SO PUMPED," another fan excitedly announced.

"I GOT JASON ALDEAN TICKETS EVERYONE YOU DONT HAVE TO HEAR ME COMPLAIN FOR MONTHS ON END AGAIN NOW," another wrote.

What Songs Will I Hear?

Although an official setlist has not been released, according to the tour announcement Ride All Night will give fans a little bit of new and a little bit of old, promising to "deliver a mix of new hits and fan favorites." That means that fans can expect to sing along to much of Aldean's 15-track eighth studio album:

• Dirt to Dust
• Set It Off
• Girl Like You
• You Make It Easy
• Gettin' Warmed Up
• Blacktop Gone
• Drowns the Whiskey (Feat. Miranda Lambert)
• Rearview Town
• Love Me or Don't
• Like You Were Mine
• Better at Being Who I Am
• I'll Wait for You
• Ride All Night
• Up in Smoke
• High Noon Neon

It's also likely that Aldean will croon to 2010's "Dirt Road Anthem" and "Fly Over States," 2009's "Big Green Tractor," and 2005's "Amarillo Sky."

Album Review

Fans headed to one of Aldean's concerts will be in for a treat, as his eighth studio album has been met with high praise from critics.

"A versatile release, Aldean's Rearview Town highlights the Georgia native's strength when it comes to arena-ready rockers heard in the live setting. Throughout the 15 tracks, the singer also demonstrates his ability to blend multiple genres all while putting his distinct stamp on every song," Sounds Like Nashville's Annie Reuter wrote.

Jon Freeman of Rolling Stone said that the album offers "a new twist on his proven formula" of "meat-and-potatoes country rock and power balladry."

"In true Aldean fashion, he looks at different sides of the small town experience," Freeman wrote. "That acute understanding of and connection to his fans is at least part of why Aldean remains such a huge draw.

What do the fans say?

Critics aren't the only ones singing high praise. Since the album's release, fans have applauded it and Aldean.

"Jason Aldean has never made a bad song, but he outdid himself with this new album," one fan wrote.

"Jason Aldean's new album is prolly the best one I think he has released," another added.

Many more praised the album's easy-to-hit-repeat style, stating that Rearview Mirror "did not disappoint" and was "everything I didn't know I needed."

Their praise is warranted, too, as the album made Aldean only the second country act in history to score four consecutive chart-toppers on the all-genre Billboard 200 albums chart. The album also boasted two back-to-back multi-week chart toppers.
