Country star Jason Aldean will play at Globe Life Park in Arlington on Friday, October 11, the third big-name artist to announce a concert at the ballpark in the past five months. That will make for a big concert weekend at the venue, as Billy Joel will also be playing there on October 12.

The Texas Rangers and Live Nation made the announcement on April 29 at Live! Arena inside Texas Live. Rangers Hall of Fame Outfielder Rusty Greer, the Voice of Globe Life Park Chuck Morgan, Arlington Mayor Jeff Williams, Arlington CVB President Ronnie Price, and representatives from Live Nation were on hand for the announcement. There was also a special video announcement from Aldean.

Aldean will be joined by opening acts Kane Brown, Carly Pearce, and DJ Silver.

Paul McCartney, who will be playing there on June 6, was the first bold-faced name to announce a stop at the current home of the Texas Rangers. The concert, McCartney’s only stop in Texas, will be in support of his new album, Egypt Station. It will reportedly be a nearly three-hour-long show featuring dozens of songs from McCartney's solo career, time with Wings, and the Beatles catalog.

Joel joined the party a little over a month later when he announced his upcoming concert. Joel will be playing a variety of ballparks across the country, including Coors Field in Denver and Fenway Park in Boston. With the Rangers playing better than expected this season, there remains the possibility that both Joel’s and Aldean's concerts will be in conflict with any playoff run the team may make.

Prior to 2019, the ballpark had not previously hosted any large-scale concerts. This is the final season the Rangers will play at Globe Life Park in Arlington before moving across the street to Globe Life Field in 2020. Aldean's date is being touted as "as the last Country music act to perform at the venue," which seems to indicate that there will be no other concerts at Globe Life Park following that weekend.

Citi cardmembers will have access to purchase presale tickets beginning Tuesday, May 7 at 12 pm local time. The general on-sale starts Friday, May 10 at 10 am CDT via JasonAldean.com and LiveNation.com.
