Zach Top Won’t Neglect Smaller Venues on 2025 Fall Tour

In 2024, country music newcomer Zach Top was the moment. His studio debut, Cold Beer & Country Music, invited comparison to the neotraditional country hallmarks of the late ’80s and early ’90s. After spending five years penning the album’s 12 tracks, Top never expected the level of success he would find. That underestimation led to some hurt feelings among fans, but the “Sounds Like the Radio” singer is smoothing things over with a fall tour.

Is Zach Top Adding Dates To His Upcoming Tour?

Zach Top kicks off his Cold Beer and Country Music Tour Thursday (Jan. 16) at the Steelhouse Omaha in Nebraska. It’s the 27-year-old’s first time headlining, and his fans are thrilled—most of them, anyway.

“Sad tickets sold out so fast,” one Instagram user commented on Top’s post.

That fan is far from alone. “Everything sold out so dang fast,” Top said on the latest episode of Rodeo Time podcast. “I think we underestimated the demand there was for tickets. You know, it almost kind of got some people a little angry about it. It’s like, we didn’t give enough people a chance to come see me.”

Don’t fret, however. The Washington-born country artist then shared some good news with fans who left the sales queue empty-handed.

“We’re going to do another tour in the the fall where we’ll play some bigger venues and stuff, do some small arenas and stuff like that,” he told host Dale Brisby. “So we’ll keep coming back around.”

“We’re Going To Be Around for 40 Years”

Cold Beer and Country Music marked a massive turning point for Zach Top when it hit the airwaves last April. “All of a sudden, just everything was selling out and we couldn’t play anywhere without it being packed out,” said the “I Never Lie” singer.

Top’s shocking success points to a universal truth: No matter how much the genre evolves, country music fans will always crave a return to their roots. And the Washington-born artist plans on giving the people what they want for as long as possible.

“Folks don’t need to worry. This ain’t a one-and-done thing,” Top said on the Rodeo Time podcast. “We’re going to be around for 40 years, hopefully—cross your fingers.”
