Live Music is back at Sanford Stadium. The University of Georgia Athletic Association and Dugas-Jackson Consulting have announced an exclusive partnership with Does Entertainment to bring live music back to the historic stadium. When talking about the new partnership, Associate Athletic Director Tanner Stines stated, “Our relationship with Dugas-Jackson Consulting and now our partnership with Does Entertainment has allowed us to re-imagine what was possible for us moving forward.” Titled Live Between the Hedges, this new concert series brings concerts back to Sanford Stadium for the first time since 2013, when Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean took the stage.
This April, Luke Bryan and Jason Aldean will return to the stage alongside Zach Top & Lauren Alaina for an unforgettable concert experience. Luke and Jason are known lifelong fans of the Dawgs whose music has resonated with millions around the world. The two have built illustrious careers and have remained lifelong friends, playing multiple shows together throughout the year. The two announced the concert series as guests on SEC Nation this morning, with the performance scheduled for April 25, 2026.
Jason and Luke will be joined by fellow country artists Zach Top and Lauren Alaina. Zach Top is a newer face in the country scene who has proven himself a name to look out for with hit songs like “I Never Lie” and “Bad Luck.” The singer hails from Sunnyside, Washington, and blends country and bluegrass for a sound that is sure to knock the boots off fans in attendance. Lauren Alaina is a veteran who first found fame during her time on American Idol. Since then, she has garnered a loyal fanbase that is sure to show out in support.
It’s exciting to see music coming back to Sanford Stadium, especially with such a star-studded lineup.
