Country music just claimed new territory. Jason Aldean‘s Full Throttle World Tour expansion into New Zealand and Australia represents more than another international jaunt—it’s proof that country music’s reach now rivals pop music’s global dominance. Your Spotify algorithm might be serving up more country than you realize, but this tour announcement confirms what streaming data already shows: the genre has officially gone worldwide.
The Numbers Don’t Lie
Finding tickets will be more competitive than securing Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour seats. Aldean’s 30 No. 1 singles, nearly 20 billion streams, and 20 million albums sold create the kind of demand that crashes ticketing websites. His 13.4 million social media followers represent a global fanbase that transcends traditional country music boundaries.
The 2019 ACM Artist of the Decade doesn’t tour internationally without serious market research backing the decision.
What You’re Getting
Live Nation‘s elaborate production design transforms venues into immersive country experiences. Think stadium-level spectacle compressed into arena intimacy.
Corey Kent opens all dates, with Brad Cox joining the inaugural Sunburnt Country Festival in Toowoomba, the Hunter Valley, and Canberra. These aren’t throwaway opening acts—they’re strategic selections designed to maximize the country music experience.
VIP packages include reserved seating, pre-show performances, private lounge access, and exclusive merchandise. It’s the premium concert experience that’s become standard for major touring acts.
The Bigger Picture
Aldean previously made history as the first headliner to sell out CMC Rocks QLD Country Music in 2016. Now he’s returning to claim even more territory—cementing his place among the country’s timeless voices.

Your concert calendar just got more expensive. This tour doesn’t just represent Aldean’s international ambitions—it confirms country music’s evolution from regional genre to global entertainment force.
