Zach Bryan's UK Takeover: Headlining Hyde Park, New Single, and a $350M Deal

Zach Bryan BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Zach Bryan has been everywhere these past few days and is easily one of the defining live acts of 2025. According to IQ Magazine, Bryan is being called “one of the biggest live stories of 2025,” with back-to-back headlining slots at BST Hyde Park in London this weekend after his first night sold out almost instantly. The demand was so phenomenal that organizers added a second show, both drawing fans from across the UK for a proper, nearly two and a half hour set each night, with Bryan’s signature blend of Americana, folk, and country electrifying the crowd. Time Out London and Backstage Country both highlighted the star power and unique lineup accompanying him, with opening acts like Dermot Kennedy, Mt. Joy, and the Turnpike Troubadours, plus rumors of on-stage collaborations making the rounds.

On the music front, Bryan just set social media buzzing with the announcement on Instagram of his latest single, “Streets of London,” set for release on June 30. He recorded it at David Bowie’s old studio overseas, sharing a personal connection by referencing his first UK stage photo with Turnpike Troubadours three years prior. The candid announcement had fans sharing and reposting clips from that night and speculating about the lyrical direction of this new track. Whiskey Riff and Country Central both picked up the story, echoing the sentiment that Bryan’s UK run, along with these new releases, are a full circle moment for the Oklahoma native.

Amid all this, news broke via The Hollywood Reporter and IMDb that Bryan finalized an extension with Warner Records for at least two more albums and that his publishing catalog deal may be worth up to $350 million. This deal, which has reportedly transformed Warner’s momentum in the country sector, is widely seen as cementing Bryan’s long-term industry significance outside the traditional Nashville system.

Social media also flared up after a brief spat with fellow singer-songwriter John Moreland, who pulled their collaboration “Memphis; The Blues” from streaming following a tense exchange rooted in Moreland’s public comments about Bryan’s new publishing windfall. Bryan responded on Instagram but quickly shifted back to music news and gratitude for his fans.

Looking ahead, Bryan is slated for a trio of stadium shows at MetLife in July, a run at Red Rocks, and select major venue appearances—including Chicago’s Notre Dame Stadium and Michigan Stadium, all predicted to sell out. While there’s considerable speculation about his sixth studio album dropping later this year, no official date has been confirmed yet. All eyes remain on Hyde Park as Bryan’s latest chapter unfolds, with the industry and fans alike watching for what he does next.
