Country music’s most raw and resonant voice is hitting the road again—this time, with a stadium-sized roar. Zach Bryan has officially announced his 2026 'With Heaven On Tour'North America, a 22-date marathon that will bring his haunting ballads and outlaw grit to some of the largest sports venues on the continent. The tour’s midpoint? A highly anticipated stop at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska on Saturday, April 25, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. Tickets go on sale Friday, December 5 at 10 a.m. through the University of Nebraska’s Paciolan system. And yes, the presale line is already forming.
From St. Louis to San Sebastián: A Global Stadium Run
This isn’t just another tour. It’s a cultural event disguised as a concert series. The 'With Heaven On Tour' kicks off March 7, 2026, at The Dome at America's Center in St. Louis, then rockets through Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, the Alamodome in San Antonio, and Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge—all within the first month. By the time Bryan reaches Lincoln, he’ll have already played six major venues. The tour doesn’t stop there. After Memorial Stadium, it heads to Davis Wade Stadium in Starkville, then Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland before crossing the Atlantic.The European leg is no afterthought. Bryan’s team booked Donostia Arena in San Sebastián, Spain, on May 27, followed by the open-air Waldbühne in Berlin on May 31. Then come the two nights at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London—June 16 and 17—where fans will be singing along in English, Spanish, and maybe even a little Nebraska twang. There’s even a stop at Páirc Uí Chaoimh in Cork, Ireland, a rare nod to the Celtic roots that echo in Bryan’s songwriting.
Why Memorial Stadium? The Nebraska Connection
Lincoln’s choice as a tour stop isn’t random. Zach Bryan, an Oklahoma native, has long drawn comparisons to Midwestern storytellers like Jason Isbell and Bruce Springsteen—not for sound, but for emotional gravity. Memorial Stadium, home to the Nebraska Cornhuskers, holds over 85,000 fans on game day. For a musician who built his career on porch-side recordings and viral YouTube clips, playing there feels like a full-circle moment. The venue’s acoustics, often praised for their natural resonance, will amplify Bryan’s unpolished voice and steel-string guitar in ways that arenas simply can’t.“It’s not about the size,” one longtime Nebraska concertgoer told a local radio station last week. “It’s about the silence between the notes. That’s where Zach lives. And that’s where Memorial Stadium breathes.”
Tickets, Pricing, and the Presale Scramble
Tickets for the Lincoln show will be sold exclusively through the University of Nebraska’s system—a rarity for non-college events. Other dates on the tour are handled by Ticketmaster and third-party vendors like SeatGeek and Vivid Seats. Presale access is available only via zachbryanpresale.com, where fans can register now. No password. No fan club membership. Just your email and a prayer.Third-party listings show tickets for the Charlotte stop at Bank of America Stadium starting at $187—with just 1% of seats remaining. That’s not an anomaly. It’s a pattern. Bryan’s 2023 tour sold out 42 shows in under 12 hours. This one? It’s already being called the most anticipated tour of 2026.
Support Acts and the Rotating Lineup Strategy
What makes this tour even more compelling? The openers. Unlike most stadium tours that book the same opening act for every date, Bryan’s team is rotating support acts regionally. In the South, expect Southern rockers like The Cadillac Three. In the Midwest, local folk heroes like The Head and the Heart might appear. In Europe, it could be Irish balladeers or Spanish singer-songwriters. The goal? Make every show feel unique. Local pride. Cultural texture. A concert that doesn’t just echo, but resonates.What Comes After?
The tour ends on October 10, 2026, at Jordan-Hare Stadium in Auburn, Alabama—a fitting finale in a state that birthed some of country music’s most enduring voices. After that? No word on new music, but insiders say Bryan has been writing daily since returning from his 2025 tour. Rumor has it he’s working on an album inspired by the people he met on the road: the truckers, the veterans, the single moms who show up with their kids in tow. If he records it, it’ll be the most honest thing he’s ever done. And that’s saying something.Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Zach Bryan playing at college stadiums instead of traditional concert venues?
Bryan’s team chose large-capacity stadiums to match the scale of his growing fanbase and the immersive, communal experience his music fosters. College stadiums like Memorial Stadium and Jordan-Hare offer unmatched acoustics, open-air atmospheres, and emotional weight—especially in regions where football culture runs deep. It’s not just a concert; it’s a gathering of a tribe.
What’s the significance of the European dates on this tour?
The European leg—spanning Spain, Germany, Ireland, and England—signals Zach Bryan’s arrival as a global artist. His music, rooted in American working-class storytelling, resonates deeply abroad, especially in countries with strong folk traditions. The inclusion of venues like Donostia Arena and Páirc Uí Chaoimh suggests his team is building a lasting international presence, not just chasing ticket sales.
Why are support acts changing for each show?
Bryan’s team is intentionally tailoring opening acts to each region’s musical identity. In the South, it’s Southern rock; in the Midwest, folk and Americana; in Europe, local singer-songwriters.
