Zach Bryan is shaking up the touring world again. Fresh off a historic fall run that packed major college football stadiums, he just announced two new hometown-adjacent dates at The University of Tulsa’s H.A. Chapman Stadium on April 3 and 4, 2026. Tickets go on sale Friday at 9 a.m. at TulsaHurricane.com/Tickets.
What makes this move even more interesting is the growing trend behind it. Bryan is not the only one stepping around the traditional Ticketmaster model by partnering directly with universities and stadiums. After the overwhelming success of the Boys From Oklahoma series earlier this year, sparked by the Cross Canadian Ragweed reunion, the college circuit is suddenly one of the hottest and most independent-friendly spaces for country artists. Bryan’s latest announcement adds fuel to the conversation: is the next touring wave heading straight through campus gates instead of corporate ticketing channels?
The Tulsa dates are part of Bryan’s expanding With Heaven On Tour 2026 schedule, which now includes stops in Tulsa, Eugene, and a two-night stand in Toronto. This follows his record-setting September concert at Michigan Stadium, the first show ever held at the venue and now the largest single-ticketed concert in U.S. history.
Bryan’s Oklahoma roots make these UTulsa dates more than just another tour stop. The University and Oak View Group framed the booking as a landmark moment, not only for the campus but for the city of Tulsa as a whole. With Bryan’s upcoming album With Heaven on Top landing January 9, fans can expect these early April shows to hit right at the height of album excitement.
Why College Stadiums Are Becoming the New Frontier
College venues offer huge capacity, built-in community support, and an easier path for artists to negotiate terms without relying on traditional ticket monopolies. For artists with fiercely loyal fanbases and a DIY spirit like Bryan, Ragweed, and much of the Red Dirt and Americana world, this shift makes perfect sense.
If this trend continues, 2026 could become the year live country music breaks away from its long-standing ticketing bottleneck.
