With Rock The Country over, Jason Aldean had a parting video as one last thank you to Ocala, a city in which he “cut his teeth” playing in the 90s.
In a message shared across his social media channels, Aldean shared clips of this past weekend’s music festival, which took place on June 7 and June 8 at Majestic Oaks Ocala in Reddick.
“Thanks for partyin with us this weekend, Ocala,” said Aldean in the post. He also gave a shout out to the world-class introduction he received from one of his friends.
“Big shout out to my buddy Hulk Hogan for warmin up the crowd,” said Aldean.
In a post shortly after his performance on Saturday evening, Aldean shared a special memory about Ocala, where he played decades ago.
“I cut my teeth playin the Stillwater’s Saloon in Ocala back in the mid/late 90s. That town will always hold a special place in my heart. It was really cool to come back all these years later and you guys show up for us like you did,” said Aldean. “Thanks for having us back and for all the good times! Drink one for me, Ocala.”
Over 30,000 fans attended the two-day music festival. According to Marion County Fire Rescue, hundreds of attendees sought medical attention and nearly three dozen required hospitalization during the event.
In addition to headliners Aldean and Kid Rock, the concert also featured performances by Lynyrd Skynyrd, Travis Tritt, and Trippp, among several others.
