Zach Bryan Set To Break Record Currently Held By George Strait
Zach Bryan is about to make history with an upcoming concert.
On Friday, February 14, tickets for his show at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor went on sale at 10 a.m. And within just a few hours, they were completely sold out.
Of course, selling out any show is always a big deal for an artist, but this one is especially notable. The “Something In The Orange” singer has just sold out the largest ticketed event in American history.
For those who don’t know, Michigan Stadium is the biggest stadium in the country, meaning Bryan will be performing in front of over one hundred thousand people.
The record for the largest attended concert in U.S. history is currently held by George Strait
Strait performed a sold-out show at Texas A&M University’s Kyle Field last year for 110,905 fans. Before that, the record stood for nearly 50 years, set by the Grateful Dead at their 1977 show at Raceway Park in New Jersey.
Zach Bryan could soon take that title, though. According to the Detroit Free Press, over 112,000 tickets were sold for his show. If the full crowd shows up, he will officially set a new record, but that can only be confirmed on the day of the actual concert.

Blown away by the overwhelming ticket sales, Bryan took to his social media to thank his fans and share his gratitude.
“You guys just sold out the biggest ticketed show in American history,” he wrote. “I owe you my life, my humility and every ounce of effort I have. I love y’all more than any song.”
“What a wild and rowdy damn 6 years… God bless the musicians who came before us. The respect is immeasurable,” he added.
The show, scheduled for September 27, will feature special guests joining Bryan for the unforgettable night. John Mayer, Ryan Bingham, and Joshua Slone will also be taking the stage.
