Zac Brown Band Tour 2026–2027: Dates, Setlists, Special Guests & Tickets

Zac Brown Band are turning their Love & Fear era into one of the biggest live runs of their 2026 schedule, with major arena, stadium and amphitheater stops stretching into November and a newly announced Summerfest headline date in 2027.

The current run includes high-profile nights at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, Target Center and Little Caesars Arena, while the rotating support lineup has brought artists including Grace Potter, Brothers Osborne, Old Crow Medicine Show and Fitz and The Tantrums into the tour mix.

Zac Brown Band Love & Fear Tour 2026–2027: What's Still Ahead?

The 2026 U.S. tour was announced as a 27-show run and is built around the band's eighth studio album, Love & Fear. The routing moves through major markets and mixes arenas with landmark outdoor venues.

As of October 7, the remaining 2026 schedule begins October 8 in Knoxville and runs through November 21 in Rosemont, Illinois. The current official tour listing also includes the band's June 25, 2027 Summerfest headline performance in Milwaukee.

Remaining 2026 Love & Fear Tour Dates

The 2027 Summerfest Date

The next currently announced 2027 Zac Brown Band headline date is Friday, June 25, 2027, when the band will headline Summerfest at Milwaukee's American Family Insurance Amphitheater.

Summerfest lists the Zac Brown Band performance as the American Family Insurance Amphitheater headliner for June 25. The festival notes that an Amphitheater ticket also includes admission to Summerfest on the day of the show.

Who Are the Zac Brown Band Tour Special Guests?

One of the most appealing parts of the 2026 routing is the rotating support lineup. Rather than having one opener attached to the entire tour, Zac Brown Band are bringing different established acts to different stretches.

That rotation gives the tour a slightly different character depending on the city, with country, Americana, roots and alternative-pop influences feeding into the overall live experience.

Zac Brown Band Setlist 2026: What Songs Are Fans Hearing?

The Love & Fear Tour is not simply an album showcase. Recent shows have continued to lean heavily on the band's biggest catalog songs while making room for newer material, acoustic sections, extended medleys and covers.

The current live rotation has repeatedly featured “Toes,” “Knee Deep,” “Colder Weather,” “Chicken Fried,” “Homegrown,” “Keep Me in Mind,” “Same Boat” and “Beautiful Drug.”

And Then Come the Covers

The band's live shows have become particularly unpredictable during the acoustic and encore portions. Recent performances have included covers and medleys drawing from the Eagles, Marvin Gaye, Beck, The Box Tops, Bad Bunny, Sia, John Mellencamp, The Outfield, Don McLean and Lynyrd Skynyrd.

That is one reason a Zac Brown Band show can run considerably longer than a straightforward arena set. Recent reported performances have stretched beyond two hours, with some shows approaching two and a half hours once the encore and cover-heavy sections are included.

Why “Chicken Fried,” “Toes,” “Knee Deep” and “Colder Weather” Still Matter

“Chicken Fried”

“Chicken Fried” remains one of the defining songs in the band's catalog and has continued to appear near the end of recent shows. For many fans, it is the obvious sing-along moment of the night.

“Toes”

“Toes” remains another major crowd favorite and has been a consistent part of the 2026 tour rotation. It frequently appears early enough in the main set to establish the band's laid-back country-rock identity.

“Knee Deep”

“Knee Deep” has also remained a dependable live favorite. The song's easygoing rhythm fits naturally into the band's longer, jam-oriented concert format.

“Colder Weather”

“Colder Weather” is particularly suited to the band's expanded live arrangements. Recent shows have paired it with “Take It to the Limit,” turning the song into a larger vocal and instrumental showcase.

What Makes the Love & Fear Shows Different?

The new tour is built around the band's eighth studio album, Love & Fear, while preserving the expansive performance style that helped establish Zac Brown Band as a major live attraction.

The album itself contains 13 tracks and includes collaborations with artists such as Marcus King, Snoop Dogg and Dolly Parton. Songs from the record that have appeared in the live rotation include “I Ain't Worried About It,” “Hard Run,” “Animal,” “Give It Away,” “Let It Run,” “The Sum” and “What You Gonna Do.”

The result is a show that can move from a full-band country-rock performance into an acoustic passage and then suddenly explode into a genre-hopping encore.

Are Zac Brown Band Shows Sold Out?

Some of the biggest dates are already seeing substantial demand. The two October 19 and 20 Red Rocks Amphitheatre performances are listed as sold out on the band's official tour page, with fans directed toward a waitlist.

Other upcoming shows remain listed for ticket purchase, but availability can change quickly as individual venues approach capacity.

Tickets, VIP Options and Fan Tips

For the safest purchase, start with the band's official tour listing or the venue's authorized ticketing partner. This is particularly important for sold-out performances where resale prices can vary dramatically.

Before Buying

• Check the official tour page first: Confirm the date, venue and current ticket availability before using resale marketplaces.
• Compare the full price: Look beyond the advertised ticket price and check fees before completing the purchase.
• Check VIP availability: The official Zac Brown Band tour page lists VIP options on several dates, although the exact package can vary by show.
• Check venue rules: Bag policies, parking, doors and entry procedures are controlled by individual venues.
• For sold-out shows: Use the official waitlist where available rather than assuming every resale listing is legitimate.

Zac Brown Band Tour 2026–2027: The Bigger Picture

The Love & Fear era demonstrates why Zac Brown Band continue to have such a durable place in live music. The group can headline a massive outdoor venue, move into an arena the next night and still build a set around songs that fans have been singing for years.

At the same time, the band is not treating the catalog like a museum piece. New Love & Fear material is woven into the set alongside acoustic performances, collaborations, unexpected covers and songs from across their career.

With the 2026 U.S. run continuing through November and Summerfest already on the calendar for June 25, 2027, the Love & Fear chapter is clearly still moving.
