Zach Bryan has surfed the tide of public opinion this year. Amid making headlines due to a very public breakup with ex-girlfriend Brianna LaPaglia, the alt-country sensation scored a mind-blowing 21 nominations at this year’s Billboard Music Awards. Bryan picked up five of those awards during the Dec. 12 ceremony, with two wins apiece in the country and rock music categories. Between two highly lauded albums and a wildly successful Quittin’ Time Tour, the “Heading South” singer has indicated that he’s ready for a hard-earned hiatus. He recently took to social media to pay tribute to “the end of an era.”

Zach Bryan Will Wrap Up Quittin’ Time Tour in Brooklyn
Since kicking off his Quittin’ Time Tour in March, Zach Bryan has crossed the United States and Canada with a slew of special guests and plenty of electrifying “Revival” encore performances. Sadly, that all comes to an end this Thursday (Dec. 19) at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
The Oklahoma artist has referred to Quittin’ Time on multiple occasions as his last tour ever. He reinforced that claim with a post to his Instagram Stories in the wee hours of Tuesday (Dec. 17) morning.
“After driving for nearly three years—been on the road that long—how does it feel to end an era?” Bryan asks an unnamed person in a video seemingly posted from his tour bus.
“Feels good, we’re going home,” the person answers. “Loved every minute of it.”
“No sleep ’til Brooklyn,” Bryan chimes in.
Is This Really the End?
In 2021, Zach Bryan inked a deal with Warner Records after self-releasing his first two albums. His major label debut, American Heartbreak, came the next year, catapulting the U.S. Navy veteran to unprecedented levels of fame.
Now, it seems the “Pink Skies” crooner is ready for something new. In a Nov. 7 Instagram tribute to his late mother, Bryan revealed he is quitting touring to pursue a masters degree in Paris next year.
However, Bryan has also teased several shows for 2025, meaning he won’t disappear completely. He’ll head to Indio, California, in April to headline the iconic Stagecoach Festival. Additionally, Bryan has a three-night stint in Dublin, Ireland, on the books for June, followed soon after by two sold-out shows at London’s BST Hyde Park.
July brings two shows at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, with a San Francisco date scheduled for August.
