Zach Bryan is coming back to Cleveland. The global country artist, who once hinted at stepping down from touring altogether, just announced a massive stadium run, With Heaven On Tour, which includes a stop at Huntington Bank Field on May 9.

Cleveland is the ninth stop on the tour, making it one of the early performances to set the tone for the remaining shows. The show features support from Dijon and J.R. Carroll.

This marks Bryan’s first Cleveland appearance since his 2023 Burn Burn Burn tour stop at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, and the venue jump alone speaks volumes about his rapidly rising status and the growing popularity for country music in Northeast Ohio.

Rocket Mortgage seats roughly 19,000 concert-goers, but Huntington Bank Field can hold more than triple that, placing Bryan among the select country acts drawing full stadium crowds. 

The momentum follows his record-breaking fall, which included a historic show at the University of Michigan’s “Big House,” the largest single-ticketed concert in U.S. history. It also places Cleveland firmly on the map for major country music tours, especially after Bryan’s chart rival Morgan Wallen sold out two nights at the same stadium this past August.

With a new album, With Heaven on Top, slated for release Jan. 9, Bryan’s return positions the city as a destination for country’s biggest names and its biggest crowds — proof that Cleveland’s country scene is ever present.
