Country star Zach Bryan is coming to the Big House.
The U.S. Navy vet-turned-country music sensation announced the Sept. 27 concert on social media on Wednesday.
“Playing in Ann Arbor with some heroes and good pals of mine!” Bryan wrote on his Instagram page, adding, “Thankful is an understatement.”
According to the Free Press, it’ll be the first-ever outdoor concert at the venue formally known as Michigan Stadium, and could very well set an attendance record in the state. The stadium holds 110,000 fans for University of Michigan football games.
Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 14 at axs.com.
Bryan will be joined by John Mayer, Ryan Bingham and the Texas Gentlemen, and Joshua Slone for the gig.
According to the Free Press, U-M athletic director Warde Manuel said the Big House had been exploring possibilities for concerts in recent years and was waiting for the right opportunity. Bryan, who grew up in Oklahoma, is one of the most popular contemporary artists in any genre.
The Billboard chart-topper has earned millions of fans with his brand of country music, which blends rootsy Americana with indie rock and emo influences.
Bryan last performed at Ford Field in Detroit to more than 46,000 fans as part of his “Quittin’ Time” tour in June.
The show announcement comes months after Bryan, 28, said he would take a break from touring to pursue a master’s degree. It also follows a messy breakup with ex girlfriend and Barstool Sports podcaster Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia, who said she was in an “emotionally abusive” relationship with Bryan and claimed he tried to silence her with non-disclosure agreements and $12 million.
