BATON ROUGE — The mystery is over for at least one of the two major concerts planned for Tiger Stadium next spring: Zach Bryan is bringing his “With Heaven On Tour” to Baton Rouge on March 28, with Caamp and J.R. Carroll joining him.
Multi-platinum, Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Zach Bryan will bring his new tour to Baton Rouge as part of Death Valley Live. His 2026 tour, billed as his largest international run yet, kicks off March 7 in St. Louis. Bryan is coming off a massive fall stretch of sold-out concerts at major college football stadiums across the country. He also recently announced his next album, With Heaven on Top, set for release on January 9, 2026.
Ticket presales begin December 3. Tickets will go on sale to the public December 5.

The show is part of a larger push by LSU and city and parish leaders to bring major musical acts back to Tiger Stadium. Earlier this month, the Metro Council approved a plan to return a portion of sales tax revenue from the concerts back to the performers. Recommended by Visit Baton Rouge, the agreement allows the city-parish’s 2% share of event-related sales tax, estimated at about $1 million total for both events, to be rebated to the artists or promoters.
Visit Baton Rouge President and CEO Jill Kidder told council members the incentive is needed because Baton Rouge is often skipped when large tours route through Louisiana. While New Orleans and Lafayette frequently make the list, Baton Rouge ranks 11th lowest in concerts per capita nationwide. Kidder said the goal is to reverse that trend and turn the Capital City into a destination for top-tier acts.
Two Tiger Stadium concerts are booked for 2026: Zach Bryan on March 28, and a second headliner locked in for May 23 but not yet announced.
City leaders say they were told both shows would feature major artists capable of drawing crowds similar to the 2022 Garth Brooks concert, which sold more than 102,000 tickets and became the second-largest stadium show in the country.
Bryan recently set a new stadium concert record when he performed in front of 112,408 fans at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor in September.
Kidder estimated each concert could generate more than $30 million in local spending, far outweighing the cost of the rebate. The Metro Council has used similar incentives in the past to secure large-scale events at Tiger Stadium, including Bayou Country Superfest.
