Zac Brown Band Brings Love & Fear Tour to Albany

New York’s summer concert calendar just got another big circle-it-in-red date.

Another major country show has officially been added to the growing list of tours rolling through the Empire State in 2026, and it’s headed straight for MVP Arena in Albany on July 31, 2026.

The tour is called the “Love & Fear Tour Presented by Margaritaville at Sea,” which already sounds like it comes with good vibes, cold drinks, and at least one song that makes people text their ex.

Even better, Old Crow Medicine Show is on board as the opener, which is basically a guarantee that the night starts rowdy and only escalates from there.

Who’s Bringing All That to Albany?

It’s the Zac Brown Band.

Tickets officially go on sale Friday, January 30, at zacbrownband.com.
