Jason Aldean Announces Full Throttle World Tour Extension
ACM Artist of the Decade and 3X Entertainer of the Year, Country powerhouse Jason Aldean has officially announced the international extension of his FULL THROTTLE TOUR, adding dates in New Zealand and Australia starting in 2026.
The tour marks Aldean’s first time headlining New Zealand and his first return to Australia since headlining in 2016 – where he became the first headliner to ever sell out CMC Rocks QLD Country Music.
Aldean’s 2026 international run is set to kick off Thursday, February 19th at Spark Arena in Auckland, before heading to Australia for six additional headlining dates including Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.

Corey Kent and Brad Cox join as 2026 Full Throttle Tour openers – Corey Kent across all shows and Brad Cox joining the Sunburnt Country dates.
Aldean has solidified his superstar status having garnered 30 No. 1 career hits at Country radio, nearly 20 billion streams, and more than 20 million albums sold.
His history-making, prolific career has included nearly two decades of chart-topping hits, including “Dirt Road Anthem,” “Don’t You Wanna Stay,” “Fly Over States,” “She’s Country,” “Big Green Tractor,” “Amarillo Sky” and most recently, his 30th career #1 at Country radio, “Whiskey Drink.”
Produced by Live Nation, Aldean’s FULL THROTTLE TOUR is set to resume July 17th in Tulsa, OK after launching earlier this year (May 2025).
