Michigan Stadium to host first concert with Grammy winners Zach Bryan, John Mayerjo

Michigan Stadium, known as "The Big House," will host its first-ever concert featuring Grammy winners Zach Bryan and John Mayer as co-headliners on September 27, reports CBS News.

Special guests Ryan Bingham, the Texas Gentlemen, and Joshua Slone will join the star-studded lineup at the landmark venue, states CBS Detroit's coverage of this groundbreaking announcement. The University of Michigan's Athletic Director, Warde Manuel, expressed enthusiasm about the upcoming concert, with his statement about the extensive planning that went into making this historic event possible.

The stadium, holding the distinction of being the largest in the Western Hemisphere and third-largest globally, has a rich history dating back to 1927. The venue's impressive capacity exceeds 110,000 people for sporting events, with CBS News noting that it set an NCAA attendance record of 115,109 fans during a 2013 night game against Notre Dame. While the stadium has previously hosted various sporting events, including the NHL Winter Classic and International Champions Cup soccer matches, this upcoming concert marks a significant milestone in its nearly century-long history, says CBS.

MLive's in-depth reporting reveals that this concert could potentially be the biggest stadium show in Michigan's history, marking a significant milestone for both the venue and the state's entertainment scene. The talented lineup features Zach Bryan, who recently completed his successful "The Quittin' Time Tour," performing at 85 arenas and stadiums across North America, with MLive providing extensive details of his previous Michigan performance at Ford Field last June. The concert has been years in the making, with university officials and AEG Presents collaborating extensively to bring this historic event to fruition.

Ticket sales for this momentous concert begin on Friday, February 14, at 10 a.m. EST through AXS, as confirmed by MLive's details about the ticketing process. The concert represents a significant development for Michigan Stadium, which has traditionally been known primarily as a sporting venue. While the stadium has hosted various athletic events in the past, including soccer and professional hockey games, this upcoming performance by Bryan and Mayer will mark the first time musical artists have headlined at the iconic venue, setting a new precedent for future entertainment events at The Big House.
