COUNTRY MUSIC SUPERSTAR JASON ALDEAN BRINGS HIS WIDE OPEN TOUR BACK FOR FALL 2010

Nashville, TN – July 12, 2010 – Multi-platinum country rocker Jason Aldean will extend his WIDE OPEN arena tour into the Fall with an additional 25 dates across the nation. After selling out 39 shows on the first run and breaking attendance records on both coasts, the WIDE OPEN tour will kick back off on Sept. 10 with special guest Luke Bryan joining on the majority of dates.

“We’ve had such a great year with some really big songs and our first big arena tour, and I’m just not ready to move on from it quite yet,” laughs Aldean. “All of us...my band, crew, Luke, and his guys...we’ve been having a blast out on the road together. I think the fans can feel that too. There are a few things to count on...the music will be loud, the beer will be cold, and college football will be on every TV backstage and in the parking lot!”

Aldean is currently in the studio preparing the follow up to 2009’s PLATINUM selling WIDE OPEN. His first three albums have sold more than 3.5 million copies and spawned nine smash hits including “She’s Country,” “Big Green Tractor,” “The Truth,” Why” and “Hicktown.” In the last 13 months Aldean has spent more time at the No. one spot than any other country artist, claiming nine weeks at the summit with three consecutive multi-week chart-toppers. As a tour headliner he has smashed attendance records and continues to pack thousands of fans into sold-out arenas across the country.

Capitol Records Nashville artist Luke Bryan is currently enjoying the tremendous success of his new album, DOIN’ MY THING, which contains his co-penned, No. one gold hit “Do I” as well as a Top 5 single with “Rain Is A Good Thing.” Bryan was recently named the Academy of Country Music’s Top New Artist and Top New Solo Vocalist, both fan-voted, and won a CMT trophy for the fan-voted USA Weekend Breakthrough Video of The Year for his “Do I” music clip. Bryan is currently nominated as Male Country Artist at the Teen Choice awards set for August.
