Zac Brown Band is coming back to Fenway Park, a place they know very very well. The 3 time Grammy Award winners have played Fenway Park 13 times already – all sold out shows! Zac Brown Band is so synonymous with Fenway Park that they became just the third artist or band inducted into the Fenway Hall of Fame. Curious who the other two artists are? I’ll give you the answer a little further down.
In this article we’ll give you everything you need to know before heading to Fenway Park for some live Zac Brown Band. Did you know Zac Brown Band released “Chicken Fried” twice? They released it once in 2003 and again 5 years later in 2008. The second time around the song peaked at #1 and went on to win Song of the Year and Single of the Year at the 2009 ACM Awards. Another random fact? Zac is one of 12 kids!! He’s #11 of 12.
Zac Brown Band is playing Fenway Park on Saturday, August 19, 2023. It’s a part of their ‘Through the Fire Tour’ which started on June 30th in Columbus, Ohio and wraps up in Tampa, Florida on November 4, 2023. This marks Zac Brown Band’s 10th North American tour.

WHAT WILL THEY PLAY? (Best Guess.)
I found this list at playlist.fm – they look at artist setlists for the whole year and use that info to make a best guess for what you’ll see. Here’s roughly what you can expect at a Zac Brown show in 2023. They say it’ll most likely open with “Homegrown” and close with “Chicken Fried.”
