In just two and a half hours on Friday, country music icon Zach Bryan sold out Michigan Stadium, selling over 112,000 tickets.
Bryan’s achievement puts him in the running to surpass country music icon George Strait’s record for the most ticketed concert by a single act in US history.
Bryan posted on Instagram, “You guys just sold out the biggest show in American history.” “My existence, my humility, and everything of my effort are due to you. No song can express how much I adore you all.
“Thank you so much for having us, @uofmichigan; we won’t let you down,” the singer continued. Known as “The Big House,” Michigan Stadium is the biggest football stadium in the Western Hemisphere, the largest stadium in the United States, and the third largest stadium globally. Bryan’s appearance is the first time a performer will be the main attraction at the venue.

“We are thrilled to have Zach Bryan, an award-winning artist, perform at Michigan Stadium for the first time,” said Warde Manuel, the Donald R. Shepherd Director of Athletics at the University of Michigan. “Today marks the next step in the venue with great partners, after a couple of years of studying and evaluating what it takes to host a concert at Michigan Stadium.” AEG Presents and the employees of the university’s athletic department are among the partners thanked.
The prices of Bryan’s tickets varied from $55 to more than $1,000. The artist hopes to fill the stadium’s main bowl, which has 107,000 seats, with each ticket sold. An additional 5,500 seats will be set up on the field. On September 27, he will perform with John Mayer and other special guests.
Last summer, George Strait’s performance at Texas A&M University’s Kyle Field drew 110,905 fans, setting a new concert attendance record in the United States. His performance broke the previous record set by the Grateful Dead, who performed in front of 107,019 people at a racetrack gig in New Jersey in 1977.
