Jason Aldean‘s Thursday night concert in Savannah, Ga., didn’t go exactly as planned. At one point, a man rushed the performer and was “escorted off the stage,” a rep for the Savannah Police Department tells EW.
No charges were filed; however, the individual was banned by both Enmarket Arena and Ticketmaster.
According to TMZ, eyewitnesses said the incident occurred in the middle of the show, and the man “didn’t appear to be a protester — just a fan who let his enthusiasm get the best of him.”
Reps for Aldean did not immediately respond to EW’s requests for comment.

Aldean is known for being outspoken through his music and otherwise. The video for his 2023 song “Try That In a Small Town” was banned by CMT, after it showed clashes between police and civilians, a burning American flag, and other provocative images. Democratic Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones referred to it as a “heinous song calling for racist violence.”
Aldean denied such accusations, calling them “meritless” and “dangerous.”
“In the past 24 hours,” he tweeted upon its release, “I have been accused of releasing a pro-lynching song (a song that has been out since May) and was subject to the comparison that I (direct quote) was not too pleased with the nationwide [Black Lives Matter] protests.”
The “My Kinda Party” singer, who’s been nominated for five Grammys, is on his “Highway Desperado” tour. He’s scheduled to play Virginia Beach, Va., Friday before continuing to play dates in North America through October.
