LUKE BRYAN JOINS PAL JASON ALDEAN ON TOUR NEXT YEAR!

Luke Bryan will join his friend and fishing buddy, Jason Aldean, on the My Kinda Party tour next year. The only date that has been announced so far is at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on February 24th, which sold out in just minutes. The two have previously toured together a couple of times before, and the Georgia natives became fast friends during their first tour of duty. “We’d roll into town and I’d have a fishing trip or something planned, and I would just get off the bus and go fishing or something,” says Luke recalls of their first tour. “I’d get back, and he’d be like, ‘Where have you been?’ I said, ‘I’ve been fishing,’ and he’s like, ‘You ain’t going to call me next time?’ Now I’ve learned that if I plan some off-site activity, if I don’t let him in on it, he gets a little mad. He wants to be in there fishing, too.” (AUDIO BELOW)

Luke, whose single “I Don’t Want This Night to End” is quickly climbing the country charts, is in the midst of both his annual Farm Tour, as well as his first headlining tour for CMT. The trek, also featuring Josh Thompson and Lee Brice, is scheduled to wrap November 19th in Monroe, Louisiana.

Luke (Jason Aldean) OC: …hit it off. :35

“Jason’s a more quiet and reserved guy until you get to hanging out with him. It was funny, we’d roll into town and I’d have a fishing trip or something planned, and I would just get off the bus and go fishing or something. I’d get back, and he’d be like, ‘Where have you been?’ I said, ‘I’ve been fishing,’ and he’s like, ‘You ain’t going to call me next time?’ Now I’ve learned that if I plan some off-site activity, if I don’t let him in on it, he gets a little mad. He wants to be in there fishing, too. So, we just got a lot of hang time on the first tour. We just had a great time. We hit it off.”
