Time to get ready for the weekend because Jason Aldean’s powerful 19-song setlist for TidalWave Music Festival is revealed. TidalWave is heading to Atlantic City, New Jersey this weekend with headliners Thomas Rhett, Jason Aldean, and Brooks & Dunn. The main stage includes performances by Cooper Alan, Priscilla Block, Lindsay Ell, Randy Houser, Corey Kent, Dustin Lynch, Jo Dee Messina, Jelly Roll, Tenille Arts, Dylan Scott, Nate Smith, Cole Swindell, Mitchell Tenpenny, Hailey Whitters and DeeJay Silver.

This setlist is based on Jason Aldean’s setlist from the Country Thunder Festival in Twin Lakes, WI. The event was awarded the “Festival of the Year” Academy of Country Music Award in 2015 and is typically run from Thursday through Sunday during the third weekend of July. In the past, performers like Luke Bryan, Sam Hunt, Toby Keith, and Dierks Bentley have all appeared.

Jason’s regular tour, based on his show in Hershey, PA a few weeks ago, is 22 songs. Usually with festivals though, performances are a little shorter since there is a big lineup with a lot of different artists. This is Jason’s first time back in the area since he was at Barefoot Country Music Festival last June in Wildwood.

“Next From Nashville”

TidalWave will also continue to introduce fans to country music’s most exciting acts, bringing a stacked second-stage lineup, dubbed “Next from Nashville.” Red-hot newcomers set to play the stage in 2023 include George Birge, Ben Burgess, Aidan Canfield, Madeline Edwards, Dylan Marlowe, Chase McDaniel, John Morgan, Megan Moroney, Pillbox Patti, Peytan Porter, Aaron Raitiere, Lauren Watkins, Jake Worthington, plus a special performance by Ray Wylie Hubbard. Such a fun way to check out new acts and see who’s going to be country music’s next big thing.

Also, three-day passes and single-day passes for this one-of-a-kind experience are on sale now at tidalwavefest.com. Can’t wait to see you this weekend!

• "Dirt Road Anthem"

  “Yeah I’m chilling on the dirt road Laid back swervin’ like I’m George Jones, Smoke rollin’ out the window,

  “If I didn’t love you, I’d be good by now I’d be better than barely getting by somehow Yeah, it would be easy not to miss you Wonder about who’s with you Turn the “want you” off whenever I want to If I didn’t love you If I didn’t love you”

• "Hicktown"

  “We let it rip when we got the money Let it roll if we got the gas It gets wild, yeah, but that’s the way
  We get down in a Hicktown Well, you can see the neighbour’s butt crack nailing on his shingles And his woman’s smokin’, Pall Mall’s watchin’ Laura In galls”
