Aldean
kicked off the day at Boston’s Fenway Park with Red Sox EVP/COO Sam
Kennedy on hand to announce his July 13, 2013 date, making history as
the first country artist to ever play the famed stadium. He traveled to
Chicago’s Wrigley Field this afternoon and was joined by Cubs chairman
Tom Ricketts to reveal that his long history of record-breaking Chicago
area shows helped catapult him to stadium level headliner for the July
20 tour stop. The Macon, GA native and lifelong Georgia Bulldogs fan
ended the day in Athens, GA by surprising a crowd of UGA students who
thought they were attending a pep rally. When the curtain dropped,
Aldean appeared to reveal that he will hold the first ever concert at
Sanford Stadium on April 13, 2013. He was welcomed by football head
coach Mark Richt and followed the surprise with a special performance
for fans.

“It
takes a lot to make me nervous, but walking out of the dugout at Fenway
this morning to announce our show there definitely did it,” said
Aldean. “It’s the kind of moment you dream about your whole career, so I
tried to take a minute to soak it up, but it’s pretty overwhelming. It
was an incredible day as we went on to Wrigley for that announcement
and then finished it up tonight with a surprise performance for the fans
at University of Georgia. It’s a day that I’m never going to
forget.”
