Zac Brown Band concert chronology

Down the Rabbit Hole Live was the fifth 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 concluded on April 27, 2019, in Peoria, Illinois

Background

[edit]

The band announced the tour in January 2018. Fourteen of the shows took place at Major League Baseball stadiums. OneRepublic, Leon Bridges, Nahko and Medicine for the People, Mark O’Connor Band, Darrell Scott, and Caroline Jones supported the first leg of the tour.[1] The second leg was announced in November 2018.[2]

Commercial reception

[edit]

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.[3]

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.[4]

Critical reception

[edit]

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't fit with the show and Brown's velvety voice also didn't fit the song." He also wasn't too fond of their cover of Billy Joel's "The Longest Time".[5]
