Zac Brown Band concert chronology

Down the Rabbit Hole Live is the fifth and current headlining concert tour by American country music group the Zac Brown Band, in support of their fifth studio album Welcome Home (2017). The tour began on June 8, 2018, in Lincoln, Nebraska and will conclude on September 15 in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Background

The band announced the tour in January 2018. Fourteen of the shows will take place at Major League Baseball stadiums. OneRepublic, Leon Bridges, Nahko and Medicine for the People, Mark O’Connor Band, and Darrell Scott will support the tour.[1]

Commercial reception

Their first night at Fenway Park marked their eighth consecutive sold-out performance at the park which broke a venue record. They also hold a record at Fenway for the most tickets sold out of any act to perform there.[2]

Their show on June 23, 2018, at Lakeview Amphitheater in Syracuse, New York, has been reportedly sold out. This is the second year in a row they have sold out that venue.[3]

Critical reception

Kevin Coffey of the Omaha World-Herald who attended opening night in Lincoln, thought that the choice of covers were interesting. During their cover of Hozier's "Take Me to Church", he said that, "it didn' fit with the show and Brown's velvety voice also didn't fit the song." He also wasn't too found of their cover of Billy Joel's "The Longest Time".[4]
