The Zac Brown Band will be taking a break from their busy touring schedule to play a benefit show to revive an historical theater in Athens, GA. All proceeds from the October 30th show will go to rebuild the Georgia Theater that was lost in a fire.
“My band and many others have come up playing there,” explains Zac Brown. “That building means far more to us, and the community, then its brick and mortar foundation. We want to make sure that it gets proper funding so we can rebuild it better than it was. It will remain a center for art and music long into the future with everyone’s help.”
The guys are the first performers to officially be announced, but many more artists are expected to perform.
“The Zac Brown Band are showing their incredible generosity and their love for the Athens music scene by hosting this benefit,” says Wilmot Greene, Georgia Theatre owner. “The presence of the Theatre in Athens has allowed bands to find an important early audience that helps to bring bigger success later. That’s a big part of the tradition of the Theatre and is an important aspect of why it needs to be rebuilt. This concert will be a huge help.”
Tickets are $100 and can be purchased through Ticketmaster.

I’d heard that Kid Rock is the special performer, is this true?? Kellie Pickler too? Heard that as well.If so, I will be there.
Kenny Chesney is rumored to be the guest performer from what I’ve read…
I heard they’ll be there too! I think it is true, except I also heard Indigo Girls? Know anything about that?
I haven’t heard about the Indigo Girls, but all I know is that ZBB + Kenny Chesney + Kid Rock = Incredibleness. This show is going to be the greatest
Man I can’t wait!!! I love Zac Brown and Kenny Chesney is always an awesome show!!!
I’m pretty sure that Kelly pickler and Kenny will be there. Kid Rock is supposed to make an appearance too! Get out to this show! I’m going to have to pick up a ticket asap before they sell out.
The second I heard about Zac Brown at the Fox I had two tickets. Now with all this buzz about numerous guest appearances from Kid Rock to Kenny Chesney I just might sell my extra ticket for 10,000 dollars instead of bringing anybody. Seriously yall! This will be a Halloween weekend to remember!
