Zach Bryan Breaks Gillette Stadium Attendance Record While Wearing ‘Free Palestine’ Shirt Again
The country star set the record at the Foxborough, Mass., venue on Oct. 4, after performing there the night before.
On October 3rd, Zach Bryan set a new attendance record at Gillette Stadium with 73,538 fans in attendance for his second show of his With Heaven on Tour. This surpassed Gillette Stadium's listed capacity of 64,628, though seating configurations can vary for concerts. Bryan donned a "Free Palestine" shirt during the performance, continuing a trend of using his platform to address political issues through his music.
This decision follows Macklemore's removal from Ed Sheeran's Loop Tour due to pro-Palestinian remarks he made during his September shows at MetLife Stadium. Robert Kraft, the owner of Gillette Stadium, supported Bryan's stance on antisemitism, acknowledging the importance of speaking up when he believes a line has been crossed. Bryan has previously addressed political themes in his music, such as his song "Bad News," which references ICE raids, sparking controversy and criticism.
