Three Words – Margaritaville at Sea
Because if there’s one thing Zac Brown Band has never been accused of, it’s putting on an ordinary concert. Whether you’ve seen them in a packed arena, under the stars at Fenway Park, or you’re hoping to catch them for the first time this year, one thing is certain. When Zac Brown Band takes the stage, it’s much more than a concert. It’s an experience.
But, for cruisers like you and me, that experience just got even bigger.
The multi-platinum, three-time GRAMMY Award-winning group officially launched its highly anticipated Love & Fear 2026 Tour, presented by Margaritaville at Sea, with back-to-back performances in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and Cleveland, Ohio. Joined by special guests Fitz and The Tantrums, the opening weekend showcased exactly why Zac Brown Band continues to be one of the most celebrated live acts in music.
Fans can expect a setlist that spans the band’s incredible career, blending longtime favorites with new music from their latest album, Love & Fear. True to form, the shows also include surprise covers, impressive musicianship, and the kind of high-energy performances that have made the band a touring powerhouse for more than a decade.
But this isn’t simply another tour.
Following the band’s groundbreaking residency at Sphere in Las Vegas, where they became the first country act to headline the venue, Zac Brown Band has incorporated elements of that immersive visual and audio production into this nationwide tour. While fans won’t experience the Sphere itself, they’ll still get a taste of the innovative production that made those performances so memorable.
Released last year, Love & Fear represents another creative evolution for the band. The 13-track album explores themes of resilience, gratitude, and human connection while showcasing collaborations with an eclectic group of artists including Dolly Parton, Snoop Dogg, and Marcus King. It’s a reminder that Zac Brown Band has never been afraid to push beyond traditional country music, blending Southern rock, folk, bluegrass, soul, and pop influences into a sound that’s uniquely their own.
That willingness to cross musical boundaries is one of the reasons the band’s concerts appeal to such a broad audience. Whether you’re a lifelong country fan or simply appreciate exceptional live musicianship, there’s something about a Zac Brown Band show that brings people together.
The tour continues across North America through November, with several bucket-list venues on the schedule, including Boston’s historic Fenway Park on August 2, New York’s Forest Hills Stadium on August 27 and 28, and the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado on October 19 and 20. Additional stops include Tampa, Hollywood, Philadelphia, Kansas City, Minneapolis, Chicago, and more.
The supporting lineup changes throughout the tour, with appearances by Grace Potter, Brothers Osborne, Old Crow Medicine Show, and Fitz and The Tantrums, giving each leg of the tour its own unique energy.
It’s been an extraordinary run for Zac Brown Band. Since bursting onto the scene, the group has earned three GRAMMY Awards, achieved six consecutive Top 10 albums on the Billboard 200, scored 16 No. 1 radio singles, and sold more than 11 million albums while accumulating over 11 billion career streams. They’ve also become only the second act to top both the Country and Active Rock charts, proving once again that great music doesn’t fit neatly into one genre.
For fans planning to catch the tour this year, expect an evening filled with exceptional musicianship, spectacular production, and plenty of singalong moments. If opening weekend is any indication, the Love & Fear Tour is shaping up to be one of the summer and fall’s must-see live music events.
