Thousands of fans of Zach Bryan are expected to make their way to Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium today as the American country music star prepares for his first-ever performance at the venue on Friday, June 12, launching Anfield’s summer concert series.
Additional headline shows will follow later in the month, with Foo Fighters scheduled to perform on Thursday, June 25 and Saturday, June 27, and My Chemical Romance taking the stage on Tuesday, June 30.
