The country singer made no secret of his plans to travel to the Big Easy to watch his Philadelphia Eagles take on the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. In fact, he posted on Instagram about his trip, and even suggested that he and his pal, Shane Gillis, “might do a pop up n get rowdy somewhere.”
Bryan and Gillis—a comedian, podcast host, and fellow Eagles fan—did just that on Feb. 8. Gillis introduced Bryan to the stage at Saturn Bar.
Social media posts about the pop up concert praised the show and showed off the huge crowd gathered to take it in.

Afterwards, Bryan took to his Instagram story to post about the “beautiful” night. He also thanked Gillis as well as the saxophone and trumpet musicians who played with him during the pop up.
Zach Bryan Has Promised New Music If the Eagles Win
During the NFL playoffs, Bryan made headlines for promising to release a new song, “Blue Jean Baby,” if his Eagles beat the Washington Commanders. The Eagles did just that, so Bryan kept his word and released the track.
Now, ahead of Super Bowl LIX, Bryan made a similar vow. He has promised to release the song “Dear Miss” on Feb. 10 if the Eagles spoil the Chiefs’ three-peat dreams.
Whether or not the Birds win the big game, Bryan previously revealed that fans can expect an EP and album by the end of 2025.
Those projects will follow Bryan’s 2024 release, The Great American Bar Scene. When things took a dramatic turn in his personal life amid his split from Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia, Bryan released two songs, “High Road” and “This World’s A Giant.”
He ended the year by dropping a live album, 24 (Live), a compilation of his time on the road for The Quittin’ Time Tour.
That tour might be Bryan’s last ever. He said in November that he’d be quitting touring to complete a masters program in Paris. However, he is scheduled to perform at Stagecoach and put on several shows in the U.K., New Jersey, and San Francisco.
