The only thing Zach Bryan’s fans love more than hearing new music from him is seeing him play live. His last two tours saw the Oklahoma native packing arenas and stadiums. So, when he decided to play a surprise show at a tiny, intimate venue in Texas fans showed up in droves. Videos from the gig show that the people fruitlessly waiting in line to get in far outnumbered those inside the venue.

Bryan announced the pop-up show in a now-deleted tweet. “9 pm I’m playin’ a 40-minute set at Sagebrush in Austin, Texas,” he wrote. “First 100 people to show up; first come, first serve. I love you guys thank you so much, try to get a ride,” he added.

Videos from inside the gig show a packed bar with fans standing shoulder-to-shoulder screaming the lyrics back at the singer. It was a surprise Tuesday night show in a tiny venue. However, everyone in attendance brought the same energy they would bring to a stadium show on Friday night. The lucky few that got inside were only half of the story, though.
A minute-long video from outside the venue shows the massive line that starts at the door and stretches down the block. The person recording walked at a moderate pace and captured the massive crowd who showed up a little too late to make it inside. The video ends before reaching the end of the line. Many more fans were waiting in the chilly Texas night air.
