Zac Brown Band Tour Coming To North Carolina: Dates, Tickets

If you like your chicken fried and cold beer on a Friday night, we have some good news — Zac Brown Band is coming to North Carolina this spring. The band announced 36 shows across North America for its upcoming summer trek, dubbed “The Owl Tour.” The tour begins May 25 in Indianapolis and ends Oct. 26 in Dallas.

Other major cities on the tour include Syracuse, Milwaukee, Denver, Des Moines, Boston, Hartford, Jacksonville and Tampa. In North Carolina, the band will play at the Coastal Credit Union Music Park at Walnut Creek in Raleigh on April 13 and the PNC Music Pavilion in Charlotte on April 14.

“The Owl Tour” will support the band’s upcoming sixth studio album, according to Rolling Stone. That album is expected to be released sometime this year.

The country superstars, led by the burly and bearded singer Zac Brown, have multiple hits including radio jams such as “Chicken Fried” and “Knee Deep.” The band has won multiple Grammy awards, including best new artist in 2009 and best country album in 2012.

Brown told Billboard the summer tour will be “totally different” than its “Down the Rabbit Hole Live Tour,” which started last year and concludes April 27 in Illinois.

“The presentation, the songs, the whole approach, everything. You’re going to get two completely different shows. You won’t feel like you saw the same thing,” said Brown.

The new tour will also be an opportunity to showcase their new single “Someone I Used to Know,” which introduces a new sound for the band. Brown said the song was personal. He had an awakening last year and wanted to dedicate his time to the things that he said add value to his life. That also means removing things that don’t.

“It’s a song born out of strength and born out of being something better than you were; getting to reinvent yourself. That’s something we all can relate to and some people can hopefully use,” he said.
