Country concert tours continue to rein supreme at the Ford Center as Jason Aldean’s 2013 Night Train Tour joined the growing list of sold out shows at the building. More than 9,000 fans filled the arena to the rafters on Thursday night to enjoy a show packed with country boy flavor and more than a little rock & roll swagger from headliner Aldean and openers Jake Owen and Thomas Rhett. The tour featured everything from a multi-level stage to stunning hi-definition video monitors to a DJ to keep the party rocking through each of the intermissions and was stitched together by solid sets by Aldean, Owen and Rhett. Judging by the thunderous response from the crowd to all three artists, the night was a success all the way around. “It’s good to see Evansville continue to show great support for top country acts such as Jason Aldean,†said Executive Director Scott Schoenike. “This will continue to attract elite country performers to the Ford Center in the coming months.â€
The Ford Center continues an active event season with upcoming shows that include the Midwest Rock N Roll Express with REO Speedwagon/Styx/Ted Nugent May 15, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers May 16, the WWE World Tour Supershow May 18, and Barry Manilow June20.
