Jason Aldean will extend his Wide Open tour into 2010 with opening act Luke Bryan on most dates. The itinerary includes a sold-out concert in Aldean's hometown of Macon, Ga., on Jan. 23 and will continue through March 27 in St. Charles, Mo. "Luke and I grew up playing in some of the same clubs down in Georgia, so it will be really cool to have him out with us ... playing bigger rooms with bigger crowds," said Aldean. "He's a total trip, so we'll definitely have some laughs backstage every night. I'm pumped about this tour, and I can't wait to take a few weeks off for the holidays and get right back out there." The first date of the tour will take place on Jan. 22 in Greenville, S.C., with Eric Church as the opening act.
