Will Zach Bryan really stop touring in 2025?

Zach Bryan had a lot on his mind when he closed out in 2024.

Between his much-publicized breakup from Brianna Chickenfry and his recently announced plans to pursue a master’s degree in Paris in 2025, big changes are on the way for the singer, both in his personal and professional life.

So when he told fans in a social media post that he was “quitting touring” to focus on his higher education abroad, many fans wondered if there would be any opportunities to even see Bryan live in concert in 2025.

But Bryan is not stepping away from life on stage – at least not completely. On Monday night (November 13), he announced that he is booked for a show at MetLife Stadium in New York City next July.

That concert will be a headlining show with support from Tennessee-based rock group Kings of Leon and is set to take place on July 20, 2025. Tickets for the show come up for sale to the public on Friday (Nov. 15).

In his announcement, Bryan said it’s “always been a dream” to play this stadium, quoting a line from Kings of Leon’s “Back Down South,” a song from their 2010 Come around sunset album.

He also reminded fans that these kinds of shows will be few and far between in 2025, saying: “One of the only shows we’ll be playing next year. See you there!”

Is Zach Bryan playing any other concerts in 2025?

• According to his tour calendarBryan’s headlining performance is one of four shows he is currently scheduled to play next year.
• He is booked for a headlining set at Indio, California’s Stagecoach Festival in late April.
• The other two dates on Bryan’s books are back-to-back weekend dates in London’s Hyde Park in June.
• Before 2025, he has 18 more dates remaining as part of his 2024 Quittin’ Time Tour.

An empty touring calendar is not what fans are used to from the singer. In 2024, he toured rigorously in support of his latest album release, The Great American Bar Scene.

But even though Bryan has said he’ll take a hiatus from touring next year — or, by the lease itself, scale back significantly — that doesn’t mean he’s declaring a moratorium on releasing new music.

In the weeks since his breakup in late October alone, Bryan has released two new songs. These releases prompted speculation that he may have used music to comment on his split from Chickenfry, as well as her claims that he emotionally abused her during the relationship.
