The Songs About Us Tour is an album tour, so the set mixes new material with a catalogue that has been road-tested for the better part of two decades. Here is the shape of it — and an honest note about what nobody can tell you in advance.
Aldean has spent close to twenty years building a catalogue of arena-sized country songs, and a handful of them have been fixtures in his live show for most of that time. If you are going to one date and want to know what you will almost certainly hear, it is this material.
Around that spine sit songs like “Lights Come On,” “My Kinda Party,” “Night Train,” “Tattoos On This Town” and “You Make It Easy” — all long-standing live material, none of them guaranteed on a given night.
Songs About Us arrived in April 2026 with twenty tracks, and the tour takes its name from it. On an album tour the new material typically clusters through the middle third of the set, framed by catalogue at the start and finish — the well-worn logic being that you open and close on what the whole room knows.
Which specific new tracks survive into the set changes as a tour progresses. Songs that land well stay; songs that do not get quietly dropped after a few weeks. That churn is normal and it is the main reason a setlist published in advance is worth very little.
We are not going to print a numbered running order for a show that has not happened. Setlists change night to night, and a fabricated one would send you to a concert expecting songs that are not coming. For what was actually played at a recent date, use a fan-logged setlist database — those record reality rather than intention, and they are usually current within a day.
Seventeen of the twenty remaining dates are Aldean headline nights at amphitheaters and arenas. These get the complete production and the longest set: deeper cuts, more space between songs, a proper encore. If you want the full show, this is the ticket.
San Diego, Washington D.C. and Las Vegas are co-headline bills with Luke Bryan. Two headliners splitting one curfew means both play shorter, so an Aldean set on those nights is compressed toward the hits with less room for anything unexpected. The production is larger; the setlist is tighter. The Double Down page covers what else is different about those nights.
The 9 August Rock The Country appearance in Hastings, Michigan is a festival slot rather than a tour date, which usually means a shorter, hits-heavy set on a shared bill.
These are loud, full-band shows built for wide spaces — heavy guitars, a big lighting rig, and video screens sized to be read from the back of a lawn. The crowd stands for most of the headline set at almost every stop, including in the reserved seating.
If you are on the lawn, sound arrives a fraction later and the visual detail comes off the screens rather than the stage — worth knowing when choosing where to sit. Timings for the whole evening, including when Aldean is likely to actually appear, are on the running order page.

Good to know
A headline set on this tour runs roughly 90 minutes to two hours, which usually works out somewhere in the low-to-mid twenties in song count depending on how much talking and how many extended arrangements are in the night. Stadium sets on the Double Down dates are shorter because the bill is shared with Luke Bryan.
The spine stays largely the same — the hits that open and close the show rarely move — but individual songs get swapped in and out across a run, and the balance between new album material and catalogue shifts as a tour progresses. Do not plan a night around one specific deep cut.
Fan-logged setlist databases are the only reliable source, because they record what was actually played rather than what was planned. They are usually updated within a day of each show. Any site publishing a fixed setlist for a whole tour in advance is guessing.
Yes. The tour is named after and built around the Songs About Us album released in April 2026, so new material features in the set alongside the catalogue. Exactly which tracks make the cut varies through the run, which is normal on an album tour.
