Jason Aldean has spent the past two decades building one of the most successful careers in country music. With 30 No. 1 singles, sold-out tours, and a shelf full of awards, including the title of ACM Artist of the Decade, the Georgia native has cemented his place as a modern country icon.
Though he no longer takes on the grueling tour schedule of 200-plus shows a year like he did early in his career, Aldean continues to hit the road, selling out venues nationwide, and even in other countries, and he has no plans to slow down just yet.
“I don’t think I’m there yet,” Aldean shared during an appearance on the Armchair Expert With Dax Shepard podcast. “… I still enjoy it too much, man.”
While retirement isn’t on his radar, Aldean is thinking about shifting gears, and Las Vegas might be next.
“I look at things that are going on now like The Sphere out in Las Vegas, like, going and doing some residencies,” he said.
“[Kenny] Chesney just did his out there, and Shaun Silva, who is our video director too, did all the content for that … I think Backstreet Boys just did one,” Aldean added.
The Georgia native hinted that fans can likely look forward to a stint in Sin City, which would make sense as he recently opened a Vegas location of Jason Aldean’s Kitchen + Bar.
“So, you know, I think that’s probably in our future, to hit Vegas, do some residencies,” he continued.
A stationary setup in Las Vegas would certainly have its perks, but Aldean admits it’s hard to imagine stepping away from the road completely.
“For me to just stop touring — even doing it the way we do it — man, this is something I wanted to do from the time I can remember,” he admitted. “I’ve gotten to do it for the last 20 years, and they’re still letting me do it.”
Aldean is currently in the midst of his FULL THROTTLE Tour, which will hit Grand Rapids, Michigan; Green Bay, Wisconsin; and St. Paul, Minnesota this weekend.
The trek will continue with stops in Chicago, Birmingham, and Tampa before wrapping up in early November. In 2025, Aldean will take the tour international, bringing it to Australia and New Zealand.
