The Lineup

The tour supports his latest album, "With Heaven on Top."

Joining him are MJ Lenderman, the acclaimed indie-rock guitarist behind the critically praised album "Manning Fireworks," and Fey Fili, whose atmospheric, genre-blending sound opens the night.

(Note: opener listings have varied by source — confirm the final supporting lineup on the official venue page before the show.)

The Experience

Zach Bryan shows are known for their communal, almost cathartic energy — tens of thousands of fans singing every word back to him.

On the night:

  • A massive, open-air singalong under the late-July sky
  • Near-perfect concert weather — mild evenings with ocean breezes
  • Strong sightlines and sound from one of SoCal's best concert venues
  • An electric, all-in crowd for one of the only California dates

Location: Snapdragon Stadium, 2101 Stadium Way, San Diego, CA 92108.

About the With Heaven On Tour

Zach Bryan's With Heaven On Tour is the biggest trek of his career — a 40-plus date international run spanning North America and Europe from spring through fall 2026. The San Diego shows kick off the tour's second U.S. leg and are the only California dates on the entire route, making them a magnet for fans across the state. With his rapid rise from self-released songs to record-setting stadium shows, Bryan has become one of the defining live artists of his generation.

Why It Works

A few specific reasons this show is worth the trip:

1. It's the only California date. Fans across the state are converging on San Diego for this one.

2. Zach Bryan is a live phenomenon. Record-setting crowds and a famously communal show.

3. The setting fits the music. An open-air stadium under a mild summer sky.

4. Two nights to choose from. Friday, July 31 or Saturday, August 1 — or both.

5. It's easy to reach. Trolley access right to the stadium.

Who It's For

  • Country and Americana fans — a defining modern artist in the genre
  • Live-music lovers — Bryan's shows are an experience
  • Californians — the only in-state date on the tour
  • Groups and friends — a huge, festive summer night
  • MJ Lenderman fans — a strong opener worth arriving early for

How to Make a Night of It

  • Arrive early — gates open around 5:00 p.m.; plan 60–90 minutes for parking, security, and openers
  • Take the Trolley — the Green Line drops you at the stadium and beats concert traffic
  • Eat in Mission Valley — plenty of dining near the venue
  • Consider both nights — July 31 and August 1 are back-to-back
  • Dress for the evening — it cools off after sunset, even in late July

Tickets

Ticket prices vary by seat and demand, and as one of the hottest tours of the year — and the only California stop — they run high and move fast. Resale listings have started around $154, with floor and premium seats climbing well beyond that. Buy through official channels where possible to avoid markups.
