Anyone heading to Vegas for the Super Bowl in February might want to get there a few days early. Zach Bryan just announced a show. He’s signed on to be the headlining artist for next year’s Bud Light Backyard Tour. And the show in Vegas will be a little more intimate than the arenas he’s used to playing these days. It’s set for February 9th . . . two days before the Super Bowl . . . at The Chelsea theater in the Cosmopolitan Hotel. It only holds around 3,000 people. Tickets go on sale TODAY at 3:00 PM Eastern, and they’ll sell out fast. It’s Zach Bryan, so he’s only charging $20 a head. You have to register now at BudLightBackyard.com to get a code. Then you use that code to buy tickets as soon as they go on sale. Bud Light is partnering with the charity Folds of Honor for it. They give scholarships to families of fallen service members and first responders. Zach says it’s one of the main reasons he signed on to be a part of it.
