NASHVILLE, TN (February 29, 2016) – Zac Brown Band will kick off their sixth headlining US concert tour on Thursday, May 19 at Hartford’s XFINITY Theatre. Inspired by a lyric from “Tomorrow Never Comes” on their latest album JEKYLL + HYDE, the 29-date tour includes shows at both stadiums and amphitheaters and sees the band returning to Alpine Valley Music Theatre, Citi Field and Fenway Park for two-night stints. Drake White & The Big Fire are direct support for Zac Brown Band.
The BLACK OUT THE SUN TOUR announcement comes on the heels of the three-time GRAMMY-winner’s largest North American tour to date. This included two history-making performances – a first ever sold-out, three-night run at Fenway Park, and the first-ever concert at Coors Field along with performances at Wrigley Field, Nationals Park, Citi Field, Comerica Park and Citizen’s Bank Park.
