A Night to Remember at MetLife Stadium

On July 20, the energy at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, reached a fever pitch as Zach Bryan invited none other than the legendary Bruce Springsteen to join him on stage.

An Unforgettable Collaboration

Bryan kicked things off by bringing Springsteen on stage for a heartfelt rendition of “Atlantic City,” a Springsteen classic they had previously performed together during a Philadelphia show last summer. To make the moment even more memorable, Caleb Followill, the lead vocalist of Kings of Leon and opener for the MetLife shows, also joined in on this powerful collaboration.

The Boss Shines on ‘Revival’

The excitement didn’t stop there. Bruce Springsteen reappeared later to showcase his masterful guitar skills during Bryan’s set closer, “Revival.” This track is from Bryan’s 2024 album, The Great American Bar Scene, featuring Springsteen as a guest artist. The crowd’s roaring “Bruuuuuuce” chant was so intense that some thought it was a boo — a testament to just how electrifying the atmosphere was.

Songwriting: The Common Ground

In a 2024 chat with Springsteen, Bryan shared his admiration for the Boss’s ability to transcend genres. “When I listen to your music, I’m like, ‘If you put different production to this, it’s a country song.’ That’s why I don’t want to be a country musician. I don’t want to be a country musician. Everyone calls me it. I want to be a songwriter, and you’re quintessentially a songwriter. No one calls Bruce Springsteen a freaking rock musician, which you are one, but you’re also an indie musician, you’re also a country musician. You’re all these things encapsulated in one man. And that’s what songwriting is.” This perspective reveals the art behind their craft — where genre boundaries blur, and storytelling takes center stage.
