What to do this weekend: Country megastar in town; Brewery birthday party; Lao Festival

Intrust Bank Arena could set a new attendance record on Sunday with a sold-out show by country star Zach Bryan, and that’s just one of the fun events on Wichita’s entertainment calendar this weekend.

Here’s a look at some of the fun things going on:

Zach Bryan in concert

8 p.m. Sunday, Intrust Bank Arena

Country superstar Zach Bryan is bringing his “Burn, Burn, Burn” tour to Wichita’s Intrust Bank Arena for an in-the-round concert that officials say has the potential to break the building’s single-event attendance record set by Metallica in 2019, when that band drew 15,690 people. Bryan’s sold-out show on Sunday is expected to draw at least that many fans, who will hear the singer perform his biggest hits, including “Something in the Orange,” “Heading South” and “Oklahoma Smokeshow.” The show starts at 8 p.m., and Bryan’s opening acts will be Charles Wesley Godwin and JR Carroll.

Corey Smith in concert

8 p.m. Friday, TempleLive, 332 E. First St.

Singer/songwriter Corey Smith, a country music star known for songs like “Twenty-One,” “Maybe Next Year” and “Broken Record,” is performing on Friday at Wichita’s TempleLive, the music venue inside the Scottish Rite Temple. Smith, a Georgia native and onetime high school teacher, will perform at 8 p.m., and doors open at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $25-$39 at www.wichita.templelive.com

The event will feature vendors from around the state selling handmade, antique and artisan items. Food will be available for purchase, and the event will also feature live music. Shoppers also will be able to find Rocky Ford watermelon and cantaloupe, Colorado peaches and sweet corn, and kids can participate in catch-and-release fishing and free archery.
