Columbus will be the jump-off point for the Grammy-winning Zac Brown Band’s “From the Fire Tour,” due to stop at Nationwide Arena on June 30.
Tickets go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday at ZacBrownBand.com.
The group’s 10th North American tour, “From the Fire” comes on the heels of the release of “The Comeback (Deluxe)” album, which features re-recorded tracks with some of music’s biggest stars, including Blake Shelton, James Taylor and Jimmy Buffett.

The band’s previous tour included performances at Wrigley Field, Hollywood Bowl, Truist Park, and the famed Fenway Park, where they hold the record for most consecutive sold-out shows with 13 appearances.
The new tour will showcase the Zac Brown Band’s distinctive Southern rock style, its title serving as an ode to fans and those who have lent a helping hand to pull this country “out from the fire of these past few years and helped us all get back on our feet and unify as one," according to the press release announcing the tour.

The band will be supported by various opening acts on select dates throughout the tour, including Marcus King and Tenille Townes, as well as King Calaway, who will join them at the Columbus show.
“This past year was monumental, and we’re thrilled to bring all that momentum with us into 2023 and onto the ‘From the Fire Tour,’” Zac Brown said in the press release. “We are all like family in this band and having the opportunity to bring our music from city to city is something we never take for granted. We can’t wait to be back out on the road with our fans.”
In addition to the Columbus show, the Zac Brown Band, in conjunction with Major League Baseball’s Lou Gehrig Day celebrated across the league in June, will perform a Cincinnati Reds post-game benefit concert. A portion of proceeds from every ticket sold will benefit founding band member John Driskell Hopkins’ Hop on a Cure Foundation, dedicated to finding a cure for ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease).
