The Georgia superstar last performed in the area in 2023 at Treasure Island Casino Amphitheater in Red Wing. Back then his single “Try That in a Small Town” was creating controversy as the lyrics implied that he’d pull a gun on anybody in his small town who tried carjacking, robbing someone or protesting against the police.
Aldean followed that No. 1 hit with “Let Your Boys Be Country,” an anthem of Southern pride, from his 2023 album “Highway Desperado.”
Since he debuted 20 years ago, Aldean has chalked up 26 No. 1 country hits, including “Dirt Road Anthem,” “Big Green Tractor” and “You Make It Easy.”
Aldean’s tour will start May 24 in Toronto and wrap up Oct. 24 in West Palm Beach, Fla., just in time for the hunting season.
Opening the St. Paul concert will be Nate Smith, RaeLynn and Dee Jay Silver.
Tickets will go on sale at 10 a.m. Friday at jasonaldean.com.
