Zach Bryan, John Mayer will headline first-ever concert at Michigan Stadium
(CBS DETROIT) — The Big House is about to get its first big show.
Multi-platinum country music star Zach Bryan and seven-time Grammy-winning artist John Mayer will co-headline the first-ever concert at Michigan Stadium in Ann Arbor this fall.
Bryan and Mayer will be joined by special guests Ryan Bingham and the Texas Gentlemen and Joshua Slone for the Sept. 27 show.
Tickets go on sale Friday, Feb. 14, at 10 a.m. through AXS.
"We are excited to have award-winning artist Zach Bryan perform the very first concert at Michigan Stadium," said Michigan Director of Athletics Warde Manuel. "I would like to thank the Board of Regents, President Ono, the Executive Officers of the University, and many of our athletic department staff, as well as AEG Presents, for all the work that has brought us to this point in the process. We have been studying and evaluating what it takes to host a concert at Michigan Stadium for a couple of years, and today marks that next step in the venture with great partners."
Michigan Stadium is the largest stadium in the Western Hemisphere and the third largest stadium in the world. It can hold more than 110,000 people for some sporting events.
Nicknamed "The Big House," Michigan Stadium first opened in 1927 and has hosted several prominent sporting events in addition to Wolverines football, like the NHL Winter Classic and several International Champions Cup soccer matches.
Michigan established an NCAA single-game attendance record of 115,109 fans in a 2013 night game against Notre Dame.
Bryan recently capped off his "The Quittin' Time Tour," which saw him play 85 arenas and stadiums across North America. The Grammy winner and Oklahoma native will headline the Stagecoach Festival 2025 in Indio, California, and BST Hyde Park Festival 2025 in London, England.

Doechii uses BET Awards win to condemn Trump's ICE raids and support mass protests in LA
After winning Best Female Hip Hop Artist, the Grammy winner delivers a fiery address about protests, immigration crackdowns, and solidarity across oppressed communities. Grammy Award-winning artist Doechii was awarded Best Female Hip Hop Artist at the BET Awards' 25th anniversary ceremony in Los Angeles. But during her acceptance speech, she didn't just give thanks to her team or shout out her fellow nominees—she took a bold political stand, directly calling out President Donald Trump. 'I do want to address what's happening right now, outside the building,' Doechii began. 'These are ruthless attacks that are creating fear and chaos in our communities. In the name of law and order, Trump is using military forces to stop a protest, and I want you all to consider what kind of government it appears to be — when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us.' 'What type of government is that?' she continued. 'People are being swept up and torn from their families, and I feel it's my responsibility as an artist to use this moment to speak up for all oppressed people: for Black people, for Latino people, for trans people, for the people in Gaza. We all deserve to live in hope and not in fear, and I hope we stand together, my brothers and my sisters, against hate and we protest against it. Thank you, BET.' The Florida native's remarks addressed the mass protests that unfolded Sunday, as thousands flooded the streets of Los Angeles in response to President Trump's deployment of the National Guard. Demonstrators, who united in opposition to a wave of recent immigration crackdowns, were met with tear gas, rubber bullets, and flashbang grenades. Doechii has long used her platform to advocate for marginalized communities, especially the LGBTQ+ population. At the GLAAD Media Awards in March 2025, she delivered a passionate speech in the face of rising anti-trans legislation and growing threats against queer individuals. At the BET Awards, her message was clear: she stands not just as an artist, but as an advocate for justice and solidarity across oppressed groups.

Doechii Calls Out ICE Raids & President Trump at 2025 BET Awards: ‘People Are Being Swept Up & Torn From Their Families'
At the 2025 BET Awards, Doechii had something to say. The Florida rapper continued her winning year by being named best female hip hop artist at Monday night's (June 9) show, and instead of using her speech to talk about all she's accomplished since dropping the critically acclaimed mixtape Alligator Bites Never Heal, she addressed the protests happening right outside the Peacock Theater in downtown L.A., criticizing President Trump's use of force.

'There are ruthless attacks that are creating fear and chaos in our communities in the name of law and order. Trump is using military force to stop a protest. And I want y'all to consider what kind of government it appears to be when every time we exercise our democratic right to protest, the military is deployed against us. What type of government is that?' She then added that she felt a responsibility to use her platform to speak out. 'People are being swept up and torn from their families, and I feel it's my responsibility as an artist to use this moment to speak up for all oppressed people,' she said to raucous applause. 'For Black people, for Latino people, for trans people, for the people in Gaza, we all deserve to live in hope and not in fear and I hope we stand together, my brothers and my sisters, against hate and we protest against it.' In a move that's been highly criticized, President Trump deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles over the weekend as an attempt to quell people protesting against ICE immigration raids that have been happening all over the city. And Doechii isn't the only artist to speak out: Tyler, The Creator, The Game, Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong, Rage Against the Machines's Tom Morello, and Kehlani have all voiced support for the protesters as well.

‘Outer Banks' Actor Jonathan Daviss to Star as Snoop Dogg in Universal Biopic
Universal Pictures' Snoop Dogg biopic movie is blazing a path toward bringing the rap legend's life to the screen. The feature project from director Craig Brewer has cast Outer Banks actor Jonathan Daviss in the lead role. Brewer (Coming 2 America, Hustle & Flow) is revising the script that was previously penned by Joe Robert Cole and tells the story of Calvin Broadus Jr.'s eventful journey along his path to fame as Snoop Dogg.

This will be the first project through Death Row Pictures' overall deal with NBCUniversal Entertainment & Studios. Universal senior vp of production development Ryan Jones oversees the feature for the studio. Davis is known for his breakthrough role as Pope Heyward on the Netflix adventure series Outer Banks, which has been picked up for a fifth and final season. The 25-year-old actor also appeared in the Netflix feature Do Revenge. Snoop Dogg is a 17-time Grammy-nominated artist who has also become a television and film mainstay. His debut album, Doggystyle, debuted in 1993 from Death Row Records and counts Dr. Dre as the sole producer, spawning the hit singles 'What's My Name?' and 'Gin and Juice.' Music biopics remain a top priority for Hollywood following such recent success stories as Paramount's Bob Marley: One Love and Searchlight's Timothée Chalamet-led A Complete Unknown, with the latter Bob Dylan-focused feature landing eight Oscar nominations. Sony's four-film project about the Beatles is set for theatrical release in April 2028, while the Bruce Springsteen biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere debuts this fall.
