Between scoring his staggering 30th #1 hit on country radio with “Whiskey Drink,” kicking off his current Full Throttle Tour and appearing on Rascal Flatts’ re-release of “Fast Cars and Freedom” over the past month, it’s safe to say that Jason Aldean still has a lot left in the tank. It’s clear that he has no signs of slowing down going into next year as well with the current extension of the Full Throttle Tour overseas.
Just announced, the reigning ACM Artist of the Decade will be taking the Full Throttle Tour worldwide into Australia and New Zealand in February and March 2026 with seven dates across a three-week period.
The Full Throttle World Tour extension will begin with the first and only show in Auckland, New Zealand on February 19th and wrap up on March 1st in Canberra, Australia. For Aldean, this will be the first time in his career that he’s headlined in New Zealand. As for Australia, this is the first time the 48 year-old singer has appeared in the country since he became the first-ever headliner to sellout MC Rocks QLD Country Music back in 2016.
Unlike his current U.S. leg of the Full Throttle Tour, which includes the likes of Nate Smith, Raelynn and Dee Jay Silver as openers, Aldean will employ Corey Kent as the primary support act on the Australian/New Zealand extension with Brad Cox joining on select dates. Kent, who just received his first-ever #1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart with “This Heart,” will perform during each of the seven shows.
As for tickets, there are a plethora of different ways to access pre-sale opportunities. Members of the Georgia native’s fan club, Aldean Army, will receive an artist presale code which begins this Wednesday, July 2 at 12 p.m. local time.
Mastercard cardholders have special access to presale tickets in Auckland, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney starting Wednesday, July 2 at 12 p.m. through Friday, July 4 at 12 p.m. with additional ticket opportunities avaliable Monday, July 7 at 1 p.m.
