With presales happening now, exclusive hotel deals, and a setlist packed with fan favorites and surprises, this residency is shaping up to be a bucket-list event for music lovers across the United States.
The Zac Brown Band: A Musical Force
Formed in Atlanta in 2002, the Zac Brown Band has become a juggernaut in the music world, blending country, rock, folk, and blues into a sound that’s both timeless and innovative. Led by frontman Zac Brown, a three-time Grammy winner, the band has notched 13 No. 1 country singles, including their breakout hit “Chicken Fried” from their triple-platinum debut album, The Foundation (2008). Their versatility—covering everyone from The Rolling Stones to Van Morrison—has earned them a devoted fanbase, known as the “Zamily,” and critical acclaim, with six consecutive albums charting in the Billboard 200’s Top 10.
Zac Brown’s vision extends beyond music. As a songwriter, producer, and philanthropist, he’s built a legacy that includes founding Camp Southern Ground, a nonprofit supporting children with neurodevelopmental challenges and veterans transitioning to civilian life. His 2017 CRS Humanitarian Award reflects his commitment to using his platform for good. Now, with the Love & Fear residency, Brown is poised to deliver his “masterpiece,” a show he describes as “the story of my life that I have never shared, a journey through my imagination, music, and stories that have defined who I am.”
The Las Vegas Sphere: A Revolutionary Venue
The MSG Sphere, located east of the Las Vegas Strip, is no ordinary concert venue. Opened in September 2023 at a cost of $2.3 billion, it’s the most expensive entertainment arena in Las Vegas history and a technological marvel. With a 16K-resolution screen spanning four acres, haptic seats that vibrate with the music, and an immersive audio system delivering customized sound to each seat, the Sphere creates a sensory experience unlike any other. It can even generate wind and scents, making audiences feel as if they’re part of the performance.
Zac Brown Band is only the second country act to headline the Sphere, following Kenny Chesney’s 2025 residency. Brown has spent over 14 months crafting this show, incorporating a 40-piece orchestra, a 20-piece choir, acrobats, dancers, and visuals that take a month to render just 30 seconds of 16K footage. “The Sphere, man, that’s crazy,” Brown said on the New Heights podcast with the Kelce Brothers. “It’s the greatest canvas for creativity that’s ever been made.” Fans can expect a rollercoaster of emotions, with moments of tension and release, blending raw storytelling with chart-topping hits.

Why You Should Attend
The Love & Fear residency is more than a concert—it’s a groundbreaking spectacle. Zac Brown has called it his “masterpiece,” a project 14 months in the making, self-funded to ensure creative control. “We filmed a 40-piece orchestra, a 20-piece choir… I’ve played stuntman, gotten yanked around on wires, dragged across the ground, tossed in the air—it’s gonna be wild, man,” he shared on the New Heights podcast. The Sphere’s technology, with its massive screens and immersive audio, will bring songs like “Toes” and “Knee Deep” to life with visuals of sunrises, oceans, and windswept landscapes.
For fans, this is a chance to rave in the band’s infectious energy, singing along to anthems while experiencing a show that pushes the boundaries of live music. Brown aims to create “a rollercoaster of emotions,” blending moments of discomfort with beautiful releases, making each night unforgettable. The residency’s limited four-night run adds urgency—tickets will sell out fast, especially with the buzz surrounding the album release.
