Jason Aldean was asked what he thought of encores at concerts and he shot it straight.<\/p>\n
“I’m not a big encore guy. I hate when artists kind of bait [the crowd] into that . . . It’s like, ‘Oh, I’m not going to play one of my biggest songs. I always tell them, ‘Listen, I’m gonna just play you guys everything we got, and when it’s over, it’s over.’ Like, that’s it. I’m not going to go offstage for five minutes and wait for you guys to cheer for me to come back out. When we leave the stage, it’s done.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It’s like going to see the Eagles and they “end” the show before they’ve played “Hotel California”. You know very well that’s going down in the encore.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jason Aldean was asked what he thought of encores at concerts and he shot it straight.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":32532,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[3337],"tags":[306,5188,8939,19],"class_list":["post-32531","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-concert","tag-concerts","tag-encore","tag-jason-aldean"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-11 15:05:35","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/chok.com\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2025\/06\/jason-aldean-says-encores-are-pointless\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32531","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32531"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32531\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32533,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32531\/revisions\/32533"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32532"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32531"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32531"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/chokfm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32531"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
