Zach Bryan Plays It Cool as Fan Rushes Stage During New Orleans Concert

Zach Bryan had an unexpected visitor during his Thursday (July 25) The Quittin’ Time tour concert in New Orleans’ Caesars Superdome.

During Bryan’s set, one fan rushed the stage while Bryan was performing.

Though notably surprised, Bryan seemed to played it cool, removing his in-ear monitors, and then shaking hands with the fan. As other members of Bryan’s band then stepped between Bryan and the fan, the fan held his hands up in triumph, leading the crowd to cheer and some audiencemembers to raise their hands and hats into the air as well. The bandmembers then nudged the fan back toward the stage exit.

Bryan then walked to the microphone and said, “I got no f–kin’ idea who that was.”

The “I Remember Everything” hitmaker also said, “Don’t sneak on this stage man,” but quickly added, “That kid is a legend,” before continuing on with his set.

Bryan’s The Quittin’ Time Tour launched in March with shows at Chicago’s United Center, and will wrap in December with shows at Tulsa, Oklahoma’s BOK Center. Among the artists opening for Bryan throughout the tour on various dates are Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Sheryl Crow, Turnpike Troubadours and Sierra Ferrell.

Bryan isn’t the only artist who had a fan rush the stage last night. Jason Aldean was performing in Savannah, Georgia at the Enmarket Arena on his headlining Highway Desperado Tour, when a fan rushed the stage while Aldean was performing. The fan was quickly carried offstage by security guards, while Aldean remained center stage at his microphone.

Aldean’s Highway Desperado Tour launched in May in Oklahoma, and will run through October. The tour features guests Hailey Whitters and Lauren Alaina in select cities as well as Chase Matthew, Austin Snell, and Dee Jay Silver across all dates.
