Jason Aldean will headline the CMT on Tour: 2008, it was announced today by Aldean's fanclub. The 20 city tour kicks off October 8th at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee, NC. The tour will wrap-up in time for Aldean to be home for Christmas.

Aldean was selected by CMT for his electrifying stage show honed from years of performing live in bars and clubs across the Southeast.

"It is such a surreal feeling to look behind the bus and see semi trucks with my name on them," says Aldean. "Even as this thing grows, our fans are the same young kids that have always come out to the club shows. They come to forget about school or work or whatever and have a good time, so that's what we are going to give them!"

Joining Aldean on tour will be Lady Antebellum and new artist Eric Durrance. Durrance is on the radio with his debut single "Angels Fly Away."

The complete list of dates can be found on Aldean's official website, CMTonTour.com.

Previous headliners include Brad Paisley, Rascal Flatts, and Sugarland.
