Zac Brown Band Announces Surprise Summer Tour Dates

The Zac Brown Band shocked fans Wednesday by dropping unannounced summer tour dates, marking their first major live performances since 2024. The country rock group revealed 18 stadium shows across the U.S. starting June 12 in Tampa, Florida, with tickets going on sale Friday.

Trending searches spiked after Brown posted a cryptic "Back in the saddle" video on Instagram Tuesday night. The band's last album, The Comeback, topped charts in 2023 but they've kept a low profile since completing their previous tour.

Live Nation confirmed the tour will feature special guests, though names haven't been disclosed. Industry analysts predict swift sellouts given the band's loyal following and pent-up demand for country concerts.

Fans flooded social media with reactions, many noting the timing aligns with festival cancellations by other major acts. The tour includes stops at iconic venues like Denver's Empower Field and Chicago's Soldier Field.

Brown told Rolling Stone last month the band had been "cooking up something special" during their hiatus. Presale begins Thursday for fan club members through the band's official website.
