Zach Bryan, John Mayer perform for U.S. record concert crowd at Michigan Stadium

On September 27, 2025, Zach Bryan led the lineup for the first major ticketed event held at the University of Michigan’s football stadium, sharing the bill with John Mayer and four additional performers.
The concert followed years of hesitation from university officials and was enabled by finding the right partners, with tickets selling out rapidly after a Valentine's Day release.
Bryan performed a 26-song set over nearly three hours, featuring local references and collaborations with Mayer and The War & Treaty, while the event included a center-field stage and a fireworks encore.
Concert organizers reported selling more than 112,000 tickets, potentially surpassing George Strait’s 110,905 attendance record set in June 2024 at Texas A&M's Kyle Field.
The event likely marks Michigan Stadium’s new role as a major concert venue and sets a precedent for future large-scale shows despite logistical challenges with crowd management.
