Zach Top’s Big Year
After the success of 2024’s Cold Beer & Country Music, Top kept the hits coming in 2025 with Ain’t In It For My Health.
The New Male Artist of the Year at the 2025 ACM Awards, Top spent lots of time on the road in 2025. He opened up for Dierks Bentley and Lainey Wilson before setting out on a series of headlining shows.
He’ll continue the Cold Beer & Country Music Tour in 2026, when he brings the show to Europe.
“My favorite part of the job is playing live shows every night,” Top told Grammy.com. “The fact that more and more people want to keep coming out and seeing us is a really cool feeling.”
Of touring, Top added, “You have an intimate connection with a song if you write it — it starts as a little baby idea, you watch it grow up, and then you put it out into the world. When the crowd loves it just as much as you do, it’s a very cool full-circle moment. It definitely makes me feel something every night.”
