Jason Aldean got back on stage this weekend to play at the Bonnaroo Farm near Nashville on Saturday night.

Backstage after the show, Aldean told The Tennessean, “We walked out (on stage) and all of a sudden, it took us back to where we were a year and a half ago. Life kind of felt normal again, for the first time.”

He added, “I’m looking forward to just getting back to life as we all know it. I think stuff like this kind of gives a glimpse to people that we’re getting on the other side of it now.”

Jason posted to Instagram on Sunday (5/16), “So thankful to be playing live shows again with my #1 fan by my side. Thanks to everyone who came out to support us this weekend or streamed it from home. We love you guys and we will see y’all in August for the new tour. #weback #backinthesaddletour.”

As we reported on Saturday (5/15), Aldean announced his 2021 “Back In The Saddle Tour.”
