Zach Bryan Makes History with Record-Breaking Concert at Michigan Stadium
Zach Bryan made history with the largest ticketed concert in U.S. history at Michigan University’s Michigan Stadium. The record-breaking event drew a crowd of 112,408 fans, surpassing the previous record set by George Strait. The stadium's massive capacity of 107,601 for football games solidifies its status as the largest stadium in the United States and the Western Hemisphere. Bryan's performance included a special guest appearance by John Mayer, who joined him on a cover of the Grateful Dead's "Friend Of The Devil."
The collaboration between Bryan and Mayer delighted the audience, with Mayer showcasing his guitar skills on the iconic Dead song. Bryan expressed his gratitude to Mayer and the enthusiastic Michigan crowd for their warm welcome. Despite a few minor hiccups during the performance, the duo delivered a memorable rendition of "Friend Of The Devil" and followed it up with Mayer's contribution to Bryan's song "Better Days" from his 2024 album, The Great American Bar Scene.
In addition to Mayer's appearance, Bryan also welcomed Michigan natives The War and Treaty on stage for a special performance of "Hey Driver." The husband-and-wife duo, Tanya Trotter and Michael Trotter Jr., added their unique touch to the concert, further enhancing the historic event. The record-breaking concert at the Big House in Ann Arbor will be remembered as a monumental moment in music history.
