Thomas Rhett is out on tour with the reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year, Jason Aldean, and so far it has been incredible. Thomas toured with Jason a few years ago, but a couple of things that are different for Thomas on this tour is that rather than being the first opener, he’s getting to play the middle slot on the tour, and he also has a string of hit songs that the fans know. Thomas says, “To be back in this environment is a whole lot different, gettin’ to play the middle slot. Obviously having one hit and havin’ five that you can play that you know the crowd knows is a whole lot different of energy. People show up and the place is packed by the time we go on stage, so it really is just special to get out there.”
Thomas also laid a lot of ground work on his part of the show before he even left Nashville. He says, “I’ve worked so hard on the set and really ramped up our production this year. It’s just a really, really high energy environment that we’ve never really experienced before.”
If you’ve ever seen Thomas perform live, then you know his shows are definitely high energy and get the crowd rockin’, especially when he plays some of his up-tempo hits, like his latest single, “T-shirt.” Jason Aldean’s Six String Circus Tour with Thomas Rhett and A Thousand Horses runs through October 1st.
