A Blockbuster Opening for Zac Brown Band at the Sphere
Zac Brown Band kicked off their highly anticipated “Love & Fear” residency at the Sphere in Las Vegas with a sold‑out opening weekend that left audiences stunned. The Grammy‑winning group debuted their new album inside one of the world’s most technologically advanced venues, transforming the Sphere into a 360‑degree cinematic environment.
The limited engagement marks the band’s first residency at the iconic venue — and only the second time a major country act has headlined the Sphere.
A 140‑Minute Visual and Musical Journey
The nine‑piece band took full advantage of the Sphere’s unprecedented LED display system, crafting a 140‑minute show that blended storytelling, immersive visuals, and live performance across three distinct acts.
The setlist combined the world premiere of Love & Fear with fan‑favorite hits, creating an emotional arc that moved from tension and introspection to unity and celebration. The production also included a heartfelt tribute to Jimmy Buffett, woven seamlessly into the show’s narrative.
Fans described the experience as “unlike anything ever seen at a concert,” praising the fusion of high‑tech visuals with the band’s signature musicianship.
Residency Dates and Rapid Sellouts
The residency launched with four December performances — Dec. 5, 6, 12, and 13 — all of which sold out within minutes. The run continues into 2026 with four additional shows scheduled for:
- January 9, 2026
- January 10, 2026
- January 16, 2026
- January 17, 2026
VIP travel packages and premium seating options remain available for the January dates.
The overwhelming demand underscores the band’s enduring popularity and the Sphere’s growing reputation as a must‑play venue for major artists.
