Jason Aldean is taking his Full Throttle Tour global. The ACM Artist of the Decade and multi-time Entertainer of the Year announced the international extension of his current tour today (July 1), revealing a run of shows in Australia and New Zealand for early 2026.

The newly announced dates will mark Aldean’s debut headline performance in New Zealand and his first time returning to Australia since 2016, when he became the first headliner to sell out CMC Rocks QLD. The 2026 leg kicks off February 19 at Spark Arena in Auckland, before heading to Australia for a mix of arena shows and festival appearances. Aldean is also set to headline the inaugural Sunburnt Country country music experience, which includes stops in Toowoomba, Hunter Valley and Canberra.

Corey Kent will join as a special guest on all dates, while Australian country star Brad Cox will open the Sunburnt Country festival dates.

Produced by Live Nation, the Full Throttle World Tour continues Aldean’s global touring legacy following a massive U.S. leg that launched in May 2025 and resumes July 17 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The 2026 extension marks his first time headlining in New Zealand and his long-awaited return to Australia since 2016, when he became the first artist to sell out CMC Rocks QLD as a headliner.

Aldean has racked up 30 No. 1 country radio hits across his career, along with over 20 million albums sold and nearly 20 billion global streams. His current single “Whiskey Drink” marks his 30th chart-topping hit, following previous anthems like “She’s Country,” “Amarillo Sky,” and “Big Green Tractor.”

Tickets for the newly announced Australia and New Zealand shows go on sale Monday, July 7 at 1 p.m. local time.

A range of presales begin Wednesday, July 2, including Mastercard, Live Nation, and One NZ offerings, with select early access also available for Face to Face Touring members. More information, including VIP packages, is available at livenation.com.au and livenation.co.nz.
