Iconic college football venue Michigan Stadium will host its first-ever concert on Sept. 27, 2025 featuring Zach Bryan with special guest John Mayer along with Ryan Bingham and The Texas Gentlemen and Joshua Slone, according to a release from U-M Athletics on Wednesday afternoon.
Tickets for the historic concert will go on sale Feb. 14 at 10 a.m. and can be purchased here. The concert takes place on U-M’s first football bye week before it returns to host Wisconsin on Oct. 4.
AEG Presents is promoting the show, featuring the multi-platinum, Grammy-award-winning Bryan, who just wrapped “The Quittin’ Time Tour” across 85 arenas and stadiums across North America.
The concert event is a landmark announcement for Michigan, which has said it would explore other types of events and experiences to enhance revenues at the university. A concert of this magnitude essentially serves as another Saturday event date for the venue, which is limited to only 6 home football games this season after hosting 8 of them last year. It should serve as an additional revenue stream with NIL payouts and athletic department revenue sharing coming for college athletes.
Michigan Stadium has a listed capacity of 107,601, but has hosted crowds in excess of 115,00 people. A stage layout for the show has yet to be revealed, would affect the potential attendance numbers. It has a chance to break the North American attendance record for a concert, which was set in June 2024 when George Strait played a show to 110,905 people at Texas A&M’s Kyle Field.
Bryan’s last show in the area played to more than 46,000 fans at Detroit’s Ford Field.
