A Saturday night in the Connecticut River valley, and the middle date of a three-night northeastern stretch.
The Meadows sits in the river valley outside Hartford and serves a wide catchment across central Connecticut and western Massachusetts. It is a conventional amphitheater — covered seating in front, open lawn behind — on the second Saturday of September.
It falls between the Jones Beach date on the Friday and a break before Hamilton, which means the production arrives on a tight turnaround from Long Island.
Mid-September in New England is the point where evenings stop being reliably warm. An afternoon in the low twenties can become a genuinely cold night by the time the headline set finishes, and the lawn has no shelter from either cold or rain.
Saturday shows on this tour carry a consistent premium over weeknights at comparable venues. If you can travel, the Thursday and Friday dates elsewhere on the schedule are the cheaper way to see the same production.

Good to know
Headline dates on this tour are generally listed for 7:30 PM with doors around an hour earlier, putting Aldean on stage near 9 PM after the DJ set and two support acts. Check the time on your ticket, which the venue sets.
In mid-September the covered reserved section is the safer purchase. The lawn is cheaper and fine on a warm dry night, but a New England evening in the second week of September can turn cold quickly and there is no cover to move to.
The standard bill for this run — Chase Matthew and Mackenzie Carpenter, with Dee Jay Silver opening on decks. Support acts can change late, so confirm with the venue listing if a specific opener is the reason you are going.
