Country music fans have a reason to celebrate this fall as Zach Top, the rising star from Sunnyside, Washington, embarks on the extended leg of his "Cold Beer & Country Music Tour." The tour, named after his acclaimed 2024 debut album, is set to run from September 26 through November 15, 2025, covering a wide swath of North America with 21 shows across the United States and Canada.
At just 27 years old, Zach Top has quickly established himself as one of country music's most exciting new voices. His 2024 debut album, Cold Beer & Country Music, earned an Academy of Country Music (ACM) Album of the Year nomination, signaling his arrival on the national stage. His authentic, neo-traditional country sound, heavily inspired by the 1990s, has drawn comparisons to legends like Alan Jackson, and his recent accolades include being named the 2025 ACM New Male Artist of the Year.
Top first captured attention with his debut single "Sounds Like the Radio" in late 2023, which was soon followed by the chart-topping hit "I Never Lie," marking his first #1 on country radio. Both songs are featured on his debut album, which has helped build a loyal fanbase eager for his live performances. Now, as anticipation builds for his forthcoming sophomore album Ain’t In It For My Health, set for release on August 29, 2025, fans can expect fresh material to be woven into his live shows during this fall tour.
In fact, Top recently released the lead single from his upcoming album, "Good Times & Tan Lines," a jaunty and upbeat track that perfectly captures his signature blend of classic country storytelling with a modern twist. This single is already generating buzz and is expected to be a highlight of the tour setlist.
The fall tour kicks off on September 26 in College Station, Texas, at Live at the Station, and will wind its way through a variety of venues, from intimate settings to larger arenas and amphitheaters. Notable stops include a double-header at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colorado, arena shows at Louisville's KFC Yum! Center and Oklahoma City's Paycom Center, and a grand finale on November 15 at Vancouver's Rogers Arena.
One of the most anticipated stops for Louisiana fans will be on October 17, 2025, when Top performs at the Brookshire Grocery Arena in Bossier City. This will be the sole Louisiana date on the extensive tour, making it a must-see event for country enthusiasts in the region.
Adding to the excitement, Top will be joined by special guests Jake Worthington and Andy Buckner, both respected artists in their own right and known for their traditional country stylings. Worthington will appear at select amphitheater dates, while Buckner will support Top at various arena shows, creating a rich, authentic country experience for concertgoers.
Tickets for the Bossier City show and the rest of the tour will go on sale to the general public on Friday, June 27, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. local time. However, eager fans can get a head start during the presale event on June 24, 2025, also beginning at 10:00 a.m. local time. For the Bossier City concert specifically, a presale will be held on June 26 from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. using the passcode GOODTIMES. Tickets can be purchased through Ticketmaster and other authorized sellers.
Top's journey to stardom is a compelling one. After honing his craft playing in various bluegrass bands, he moved to Nashville in 2021 to pursue his country music dreams full-time. His breakthrough came swiftly, with his debut album and singles resonating deeply with fans craving a return to classic country sounds. His live performances have been met with enthusiasm, including a sold-out show at MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston earlier this year, where he grossed over $211,000 from nearly 5,000 tickets sold.
Throughout 2025, Top has been active on the festival circuit and as a supporting act for established stars, including a stint on Dierks Bentley’s "Broken Branches Tour." This fall, however, marks his return as a headliner, bringing a full set of his own material to a growing audience eager to experience his blend of heartfelt lyrics and energetic performances.
The tour's diverse itinerary covers a broad geographic range, hitting cities like Knoxville, Tennessee (October 9 at Thompson-Boling Arena), Louisville, Kentucky (October 10 at KFC Yum! Center), Charleston, South Carolina (October 24 at Credit One Stadium), and more. The variety of venues—from amphitheaters to arenas—reflects Top's rising status and ability to draw large crowds.
Industry insiders have noted Top's rapid rise and his booking by Jay Williams at WME, one of the leading talent agencies, as signs that his star is only set to shine brighter. With a new album on the horizon and a packed tour schedule, 2025 could be a landmark year for Zach Top.
For fans of country music's traditional roots blended with contemporary flair, Zach Top’s Cold Beer & Country Music Tour offers an exciting opportunity to witness one of the genre’s most promising new talents in action this fall. Whether you're in Texas, Louisiana, or Vancouver, the tour promises good times, classic country vibes, and plenty of cold beer to go around.
