Georgia Natives Luke Bryan And Jason Aldean To Headline Sanford Stadium at the University of Georgia

Reigning ACM Artist of the Decade Jason Aldean and five-time Entertainer of the Year Luke Bryan are teaming up to play Sanford Stadium at the University of Georgia on April 25, 2026. Dubbed “Live Between The Hedges,” this is the first concert at Sanford Stadium since Bryan and Aldean last rocked the Dog House in 2013 as part of Aldean’s “Night Train Tour,” which was the only concert event ever to be held at the venue.

“Playing Sanford Stadium in 2013 was one of the biggest highlights of my career,” shared Aldean in a release. “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.”

“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,” added Bryan. “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.”

The longtime friends and Georgia natives made the announcement in person from Georgia’s campus, ahead of the recent Georgia Bulldogs vs Alabama Crimson Tide game, which was an unfortunate loss for Georgia (21-24).

In addition to Aldean and Bryan, “Live Between the Hedges” Concert Series Presented by Pruitt Health on Dooley Filed at Sanford Stadium, features Zach Top and fellow Georgian Lauren Alaina as well as DJ Rock and Dee Jay Silver.

Fan club members for Aldean and Bryan have early access to tickets through Oct. 2 at 10:00 PM local time. Tickets for the public are on sale Oct. 3 at 10:00 AM local time.

“As we worked on bringing concerts back to Sanford Stadium, it was important that we find a group with Georgia roots,” states J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics. “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.”
