Zach Bryan's Electric Week: Record-Breaking Shows, New Music, and a $350M Deal

Zach Bryan BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

This week has been nothing short of electric for Zach Bryan. Headlines began swirling after he played the two largest headlining shows of his career, selling out Hyde Park in London for two consecutive nights—a feat only five artists have ever achieved, with some 65,000 fans packing the venue each night. During these monumental gigs, Bryan debuted a song he’d written mere days before, Streets of London, and even invited a fan onstage for a surprise duet. The energy didn't stop at the stage. Fans anxiously awaited the official drop of Streets of London, which Bryan teased would arrive Monday, June 30. When the single didn’t materialize, he took to Instagram to apologize and revealed he’d decided to release two songs instead, explaining that these tunes didn’t quite fit his upcoming album or an EP but deserved to be out in the world.

By July 1, Bryan delivered not just Streets of London but also River Washed Hair and Song for You, telling fans these tracks were simply from the heart—recorded at David Bowie’s old studio. The posts and songs quickly went viral, with fans and critics alike flooding his socials with praise for the honest, spontaneous release. Billboard and American Songwriter highlighted the magnitude of Bryan’s double-night sellouts, and Instagram was awash in clips and behind-the-scenes glimpses of his Hyde Park performances and that iconic fireworks finale. Bryan’s gratitude was palpable as he thanked London and his fans, stating that his love for their city would be forever.

On the business front, The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that Bryan renewed his deal with Warner Records for at least two more albums, solidifying his status as the label’s biggest star. What really set the industry abuzz, though, was confirmation that Bryan sold his publishing catalog in a deal reportedly worth $350 million—staking his claim as a powerhouse beyond just country music. This blockbuster deal also sparked a minor social media spat with John Moreland, who publicly dissed Bryan. Bryan responded in kind, making it clear he’s unbothered by critics.

Looking ahead, Bryan is gearing up for a series of stadium shows in the U.S., including a much-anticipated run at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey and a date at Michigan’s Big House, which could see him breaking concert attendance records. Between new music, historic concerts, and jaw-dropping business moves, Zach Bryan finds himself not just riding the wave of the moment but shaping the crest of modern country’s future.
