Country music fans in Georgia are about to get a once-in-a-lifetime show. Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan — longtime friends, fellow Georgia natives and two of country’s biggest stars — are teaming up to headline Live Between the Hedges, the first concert at the University of Georgia’s Sanford Stadium in nearly 15 years.
The concert is set for April 25, 2026, on Dooley Field at Sanford Stadium, marking the first time the venue has hosted live music since Aldean’s Night Train tour in 2013. Joining the all-star lineup are rising country talent Zach Top, platinum-selling Georgia native Lauren Alaina, and fan-favorite DJs Rock and Dee Jay Silver.
The announcement came live during SEC Nation ahead of the Georgia Bulldogs vs. Alabama Crimson Tide matchup on Saturday, September 27, where Bryan and Aldean made the reveal in person.
