Reigning ACM "Artist of the Decade" Jason Aldean announced details for
his 2020 WE BACK TOUR launching Jan. 30 in Columbia, SC and including a stop in
Jacksonville, FL at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena Feb. 1. Named after the new lead single from his
upcoming ninth studio album, 9 (Macon Music/Broken Bow Records), which was
released Nov. 22, the 20-city trek will span across the US through March. For the first leg of the tour, the
multi-Platinum entertainer has tapped direct support Morgan Wallen, Riley
Green and Dee Jay Silver. Live Nation is the national tour promoter and
Citi is the official presale credit card of the 2020 WE BACK TOUR.
After almost 15 years at the top of his format, three-time ACM “Entertainer of
the Year" Jason Aldean has seen trends come and go. He's helped bring a few out of the shadows,
like a Country-music Columbus making the mainstream’s first contact with hard
rock (“Hicktown”), hip-hop (“Dirt Road Anthem”) and R&B (“Burnin’ It
Down”). But after all that time, he
continues to hold his ground making modern albums with an old-school soul -
with the upcoming release of his ninth studio album 9 as the album's fiery lead
single “We Back” rounds out the first-released songs, and “in characteristic
Aldean fashion, it explodes into a hard-rock country anthem” (Rolling Stone). As a dominant force on the charts, Aldean has
scored 23 No. Ones at radio and is the only Country act in history to top the all-genre
Billboard 200 four times (in a row, no less), while racking up 15 billion
streams and more than 18 million albums sold along the way.
Morgan Wallen’s debut album “If I Know Me” (Big Loud Records) delivered
back-to-back Platinum-certified No. Ones; “Up Down” featuring Florida Georgia
Line, the multi-week chart-ruler “Whiskey Glasses,” the GOLD-certified lead
“The Way I Talk” and current single, “Chasin’ You.” With over one billion total streams to his credit,
he received his first-ever CMA Awards nomination for New Artist of the Year,
after earning a CMT "Breakthrough Video of the Year” award nomination for
“Whiskey Glasses.” The breakout star was
chosen as a MusicRow 2019 "Next Big Thing" artist, spotlighted in
CMT’s Listen Up “18 for 2018” class, and named a 2018 Taste of Country
“Riser" among other accolades. Wallen has co-penned hits for Jason Aldean
(Platinum-certified multi-week No. One “You Make It Easy”), Kane Brown, A
Thousand Horses and Dustin Lynch, and garnered critical acclaim for his cover
of Jason Isbell’s “Cover Me Up,” while on-fire Diplo collaboration, “Heartless”
continues to gain momentum nationwide.
Riley Green will release his full-length debut album DIFFERENT ‘ROUND
HERE (BMLG Records) Sep. 20, which has already produced the No. One hit “There
Was This Girl.” Highlighting his Southern roots and relatability, he co-wrote
each track offering a perspective Rolling Stone describes as “drinks-in-the-air
Nineties country at an Alabama vs. Auburn tailgate." The 14-track project
was recorded alongside producer Dann Huff and executive producer Jimmy Harnen
features his new single “I Wish Grandpa’s Never Die.” Green has been named an
“Artist To Watch” by Rolling Stone Country, Taste of Country, Whiskey Riff,
Sounds Like Nashville and iHeartRadio and selected as a CMT “Listen Up Artist”
as well as MusicRow’s 2019 “Next Big Things.” For more information on Aldean's new music

The Jacksonville Jaguars, Bold Events, and SMG
Jacksonville are proud to announce the latest additions to the star-studded
stadium show set for Sunday, Sept. 2, 2018 at TIAA Bank Field in Jacksonville,
Fla. The Charlie Daniels Band, Marshall
Tucker Band and Blackberry Smoke will kick off the music festival
ahead of co-headliners Lynyrd Skynyrd, Jason Aldean and Kid
Rock. In addition to performances,
the all-day, all-night event will also feature food trucks, interactive games
and more.
From his Dove Award winning gospel albums to his genre-defining Southern rock
anthems, few artists have left a more indelible mark on America’s musical
landscape than Charlie Daniels. He
began his career playing bluegrass music with the Misty Mountain Boys. After moving to Nashville in 1967, he began
making a name for himself as a songwriter, session musician and producer. His unique voice as an artist emerged as
Daniels recorded his self-titled solo album in 1970 for Capitol Records. Two years later he formed the Charlie Daniels
Band, and the group scored its first hit with their single "Uneasy Rider." Since then the band has populated radio
with hits including "Long Haired
Country Boy," "The South's Gonna Do It Again,” “In America,” “The
Legend of Wooley Swamp” and their signature song, “The Devil Went Down to Georgia,” which won a Grammy for Best
Country Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group in 1979, as well as single of the
year at the Country Music Association Awards.
Since their start in 1972, the Marshall Tucker Band has won over fans with
their definitive blend of rock, rhythm & blues, jazz, country and gospel. Along the way, the band has recorded 22 studio
albums, three DVDs, three live albums and many compilations. With hit singles like "Heard It In a Love Song," "Fire On The Mountain,"
"Can't You See," and
"Take The Highway," The Marshall Tucker Band earned seven gold
and three platinum albums while they were on the Capricorn Records label. During the 90's, the MTB scored four hit
singles on Billboard's country chart and one on Billboard's gospel chart. Today, the band records on its own RAMBLIN’
RECORDS Label (distributed by Sony/RED) and continues to release new and
previously unreleased material. More
than 40 years after forming, The Marshall Tucker Band is still led by founding
member and lead singer Doug Gray and continues to tour, performing more
than 130 live dates each year.
Since emerging from Atlanta in the early 2000s, Blackberry Smoke—vocalist/lead
guitarist Charlie Starr, guitarist/vocalist Paul Jackson,
bassist/vocalist Richard Turner, drummer Brit Turner and
keyboardist Brandon Still—have become known for a singular sound
indebted to classic rock, blues, country and folk. They’ve produced two chart-topping country
albums, including: 2015’s “Holding All
The Roses” and “Like An Arrow”
the following year. “Find A Light,” Blackberry Smoke’s sixth studio album was released
in April 2018.
The stadium show will be a special homecoming for Lynyrd Skynyrd as the Rock
& Roll Hall of Famers legacy began over 40 years ago in Northeast Florida. Their two-year Last of the Street Survivors
Farewell Tour, produced by Live Nation, kicked off on May 4 in West Palm
Beach, Fla. at the Coral Sky Amphitheatre. The TIAA Bank Field concert is being organized
by Jaguars and Bold events in conjunction with the City of Jacksonville and
stadium manager SMG.
