Zach Bryan is taking the High Road to Cork

US country star Zach Bryan is set for not one but two gigs in Cork this summer.

The gigs shouldn’t affect any home games for the Cork hurlers although the footballers may be affected as the gigs fall on a Saturday and a Sunday. It’s the first gig at the venue since May 2024 and will significantly boost the coffers of Cork GAA.

The Oklahoma-born singer played three sold out dates at the Phoenix Park in Dublin in June attracting around 120,000 fans but will rock SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh this June, which should easily sell out.

Likened to Bruce Springsteen, who was the last artist to play Páirc Uí Chaoimh, he is bringing his biggest international tour yet ‘With Heaven On Tour’ to Cork on 20 and 21 June 2026 and Belfast a few days later.

He recently confirmed the release of his upcoming album ‘With Heaven on Top’, for 9 January, 2026. It will be his sixth album with the prolific selling over 30 million albums and singles. He has won a number of awards including a Grammy, an Academy of Country Music Award.

His US and European run of dates kicks off on 7 March, 2026 in St Louis, Missouri. The tour spans over 40 dates across North America and Europe. The supports on these dates will be Dijon (main support) and Fey Fili (opener).

He played a series of sold out shows at major college football stadiums in the United States this autumn, including a September concert at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor, Michagan which was the first concert ever held at the largest football stadium in the northern hemisphere, which set a record for largest single ticketed concert in US history.
