Zach Bryan will headline MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey — just outside of New York City — next July.
The show will take place July 20, 2025, and Bryan will receive support from Kings of Leon. Tickets for the gig will go on sale Nov. 15 at 1 p.m. ET.
Bryan announced the show on Instagram, where he said that playing MetLife had “always been a dream,” and, “One of the only shows we are slated to play next year. See y’all there!” (He also gave a hat-tip to Kings of Leon, quoting a line from their song, “Back Down South,” “Underneath the stars, where we parked the cars/Ain’t showing signs of stopping.”)
As Bryan mentioned, the MetLife show is now just the fourth show he has scheduled for 2025. His other gigs include a headlining set at Stagecoach in Indio, California in April, as well as two shows in London’s Hyde Park in June.
Bryan has spent much of 2024 on the road with his Quittin Time tour in support of his 2023 self-titled album and his most recent record, The Great American Bar Scene, released back in July. He has one more leg of the tour left, with the remaining dates starting Nov. 17 in Edmonton, Canada and wrapping in Brooklyn, Dec. 18 and 19.
This final run of shows follows Bryan’s tumultuous break-up with podcaster, Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia. Bryan revealed their split on his Instagram Story last month, and LaPaglia said she was caught off guard by the announcement. She later went on to accuse Bryan of emotional abuse and trying to get her to sign a $12 million non-disclosure agreement on the BFFs podcast she co-hosts with fellow Barstool hosts Dave Portnoy and Josh Richards.
“The last year of my life has been the hardest year of my life dealing with the abuse from this dude,” LaPaglia said, adding: “My brain’s rewired and I’m scared to make him mad, and last week, I didn’t want to talk about it because I was scared.”
Bryan has yet to issue a statement on the allegations. He did, however, recently post on Instagram that he plans to “quit touring because I got accepted to get my masters in Paris next year.”
