Jason Aldean has been releasing music since 2005, with 30 number-one singles, nearly 20 billion streams and more than 20 million album sales to his name.
He recently got his 30th number-one hit in the form of "Whiskey Drink," and is currently experiencing success with his latest single, "How Far Does A Goodbye Go?"
Eric Church has also been releasing music since 2005, and is scoring several hits to this day with songs like "Hell of a View," "Heart On Fire" and his latest single, "Doing Life With Me."
The 2026 event marks Y-Live's return to Stambaugh Stadium, where it all started nine years ago in 2017 with The Zac Brown Band headlining.
Since 2022, the festival moved to Wean Park and continued to evolve each year, with 2025 starting the tradition of YLive being a two-day event with Tim McGraw headlining the first night and John Mayer headlining the second.
Following the 2025 event, JAC Live announced that the event would return to its original home at Stambaugh Stadium.
