Country music aficionados in Knoxville have something to holler about as Zach Top, the ACM's New Male Artist of the Year, is set to bring his "Cold Beer & Country Music" tour to town. The Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center announced on Facebook that they will host the country star on October 9, with Andy Buckner billed as the special guest. WVLT broke the news of Top's upcoming concert, informing fans that tickets hit the market on June 27 at 10 a.m.
Top's visit to Knoxville isn't just a regular tour stop – it's part of an extended lineup of performances in support of his soon-to-be-released album "Ain't In It For My Health". In addition to Knoxville, additional dates include a show in Louisville, Kentucky, at the KFC Yum! Center, as per an announcement cited by WATE. Fans eager to snag tickets can access a pre-sale beginning June 24, before general sales start June 27. With record-breaking streams and a #1 country radio hit under his belt, Top's rising stardom is unmistakable.
The anticipation is high for Top's newest album, set to drop on August 29 under Leo33. Touting a single that Billboard praises as "one of this summer's top country anthems," Top seems ready to dominate playlists this season. Critics have high expectations, with Country Central lauding him for bringing unique swagger to the industry. The album follows the success of his debut, which KLLL notes ushered over 3.5 million streams in its first week and snagged an ACM Album of the Year nomination.
Such commercial success isn't all that's on tap for Top, whose back-to-back gigs with Dierks Bentley's Broken Branches Tour have drawn significant attention. The tour roster extends far beyond Knoxville, with stops across the United States and Canada, paired with special guests like Jake Worthington and Andy Buckner at select venues. His dynamic performances contribute to the artist's claim as the "future of country music," a title both his fans and industry insiders seem to endorse heartily. Concertgoers can scour Top’s official site for the full scope of tour dates, ticket sale times, and additional information about the upcoming shows.
