Zac Brown Band’s Black Out the Sun Tour will feature several stadium dates, including shows at Target Field, HersheyPark Stadium and two dates at Boston’s Fenway Park. Some of Zac’s favorite shows have been at baseball stadiums. He says, “I loved playin’ Wrigley. We did Fenway for three nights, sold out, first time that’s ever been done and that was our biggest accolade so far in our career.”
One reason Zac loves playing baseball stadiums is because he says, “I’m really glad to be associated with the most American thing and we’re very, very, American band. Playin’ ballparks everybody’s just in a great mood and it’s still intimate. It still feels small, but there’s a lot a people there.”
Fans will undoubtedly be in a great mood this summer when Zac Brown Band plays their new island-vibe single, “Castaway,” live in concert during their new tour, which kicks off on May 19th, with special guest, Drake White.
