Zach Bryan to headline largest stadium in the US

American singer-songwriter Zach Bryan will become the first artist to perform at the largest stadium in the US.

The Grammy Award-winning artist will deliver a first-of-its-kind concert at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbour, MI, on 27 September.

The 107,601-capacity venue is the largest football stadium in the Western Hemisphere and the third largest in the world.

Home to the University of Michigan Wolverines, the venue has previously hosted sporting events but the AEG Presents-promoted concert marks the first time an artist will headline “The Big House”.

Bryan will be joined by special guests John Mayer, Ryan Bingham, The Texas Gentlemen and Joshua Slone for the historic show.

“We have been studying and evaluating what it takes to host a concert at Michigan Stadium for a couple of years”

“We are excited to have award-winning artist Zach Bryan perform the very first concert at Michigan Stadium,” says Warde Manuel, U-M’s Donald R. Shepherd Director of Athletics. “We have been studying and evaluating what it takes to host a concert at Michigan Stadium for a couple of years and today marks that next step in the venture with great partners.”

Bryan recently wrapped The Quittin’ Time Tour, where he played 85 arenas and stadiums across North America.

The WME-repped act is set to headline Stagecoach Festival 2025 in Indio, California, and was recently announced as a headliner at BST Hyde Park Festival 2025 in London for two nights.

The 28-year-old will also be performing at Phoenix Park in Dublin, Ireland, for three nights in June, Metlife Stadium in Rutherford, New Jersey, for three nights in July and Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, California, on 15 August.
