WATCH: Zach Bryan played the biggest ticketed show in US history - including $5m in merch sales

Country singer Zach Bryan just broke a significant concert attendance record in the US.

A total of 112,408 fans watched Bryan perform on Saturday (September 27) at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Michigan, setting a new record for the highest-attended ticketed concert in US history.

That’s according to concert promoter AEG Presents, which confirmed the final count on Sunday (September 28).

Zach Bryan’s concert surpassed the previous record set by George Strait, who performed in front of 110,905 fans at Texas A&M’s Kyle Field in 2024, and the Grateful Dead‘s 1977 concert at Raceway Park in New Jersey, which drew 107,019 attendees.

Michigan Stadium is the third-largest stadium globally and the largest in the US. While the facility has hosted soccer matches and hockey games, Saturday’s event marked its debut as a major concert venue, according to AEG.

The seven-hour show featured five acts, with John Mayer serving as special guest. Ryan Bingham and The Texas Gentlemen, Joshua Slone, and Keenan O’Meara also performed. Bryan played a 27-song set lasting two and a half hours.

“I’ll remember this forever, Michigan,” Bryan told the crowd during his performance, as reported by Rolling Stone.
