zac brown announces 2025 comeback world tour with new album release following five-year hiatus
Los Angeles, California — In a highly anticipated announcement, country music star Zac Brown revealed his return to touring with a new album set for release in spring 2025, marking his first major musical project since 2020. Brown, frontman of the Zac Brown Band, confirmed the development during a press conference on Thursday at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles.
The tour, titled "Return to the Road," will kick off in June 2025 in Nashville, Tennessee, covering 45 cities across North America, Europe, and Australia through December. Brown cited creative rejuvenation and a desire to reconnect with fans as key reasons for the break and subsequent comeback.
"After a period of personal reflection and studio work, I'm ready to share new music and hit the stage again," Brown stated. "This album represents a fresh chapter, blending our signature sound with experimental influences."
The new album, "Horizons," features 12 tracks and includes collaborations with artists like Brandi Carlile and Marcus King. Brown's hiatus followed the band's last studio release, "The Owl," in 2019, and their "Summer of the Owl" tour. Industry analysts project the tour could generate over $100 million in ticket sales, positioning it among the top country music events of 2025.
Pre-sale tickets will be available starting February 12, 2025, via the official Zac Brown Band website. The announcement has already trended on social media platforms, with fans expressing excitement for the return.
