Zac Brown Band‘s Love & Fear residency at Sphere Las Vegas is now in the history books, making them the first country band to headline the innovative venue.

ZBB’s eight shows started Dec. 5 and wrapped Jan. 17, showcasing their eighth studio album, Love & Fear, which came out the day of the first concert.

For the special shows, Zac used Sphere’s “groundbreaking visual capabilities,” according to a press release, to build a “narrative journey, tracing the emotional arc of Love & Fear, moving from vulnerability and uncertainty toward gratitude, resilience, and connection.”

The set list included new songs like “Let It Run” alongside ZBB hits like “Same Boat,” “Chicken Fried,” “Toes,” “Colder Weather,” “Keep Me In Mind” and “Free.”

So far, there’s no word about the possibility of more ZBB shows at Sphere. At this point, we don’t know anything about the band’s 2026 tour plans, save for a June date in London.

“6 Months Later” is Megan’s third chart-topper, following 2023’s “Tennessee Orange” and “Am I Okay?,” which made it to #1 in June. 

Cloud 9 arrives Feb. 20.

Honestly, it will be an absolute honor to be part of the bill with these artists.”

“I am honored to have been invited to share a stage on this tour with The Human League and Soft Cell,” Moyet says. “Stunning artists that reframed our music scene and by cutting their own shapes, made it possible for people like me to launch.”

All three artists rose to fame in the ’80s. The Human League is best known for their #1 hit “Don’t You Want Me,” while Soft Cell had a breakout hit with “Tainted Love.” Moyet had success in the ’80s as part of the synth-pop duo Yaz, known for such songs as “Only You,” “Don’t Go” and “Situation.”
