Their fifth studio album *Watertown* adds 11 new tracks to a catalog that already spans radio hits, deep cuts, and collaborations. The record features Cody Johnson on “Born and Raised Hell” and Stephen Wilson Jr. on “Tough Kid,” with production from longtime collaborator Jay Joyce. These partnerships extend the duo’s mix of country, rock, and roots influences into a stadium-ready sound that translates cleanly to the Love & Fear Tour stage. [Brothers Osborne’s accolades include a GRAMMY win, multiple GRAMMY nominations, CMA Awards, ACM Awards, and billions of global streams](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_awards_and_nominations_received_by_Brothers_Osborne), plus an ASCAP Vanguard Award. They have shared bills with Chris Stapleton, Eric Church, Little Big Town, and Miranda Lambert, and [have headlined extensive tours of their own](https://www.brothersosborne.com/blogs/news/brothers-osborne-announce-35-date-2024-might-as-well-be-us-tour-in-cities-including-atlanta-new-orleans-philadelphia-las-vegas-chicago-and-more), which shows in the confidence of their current support sets. [In December 2026, Brothers Osborne support The Darkness on the seven-date UK Bands of Brothers Arena Tour](https://www.thedarknesslive.com/the-darkness-announce-uk-arena-tour-for-december-2026/), running from Glasgow OVO Hydro on December 8 to The O2 in London on December 16. [See Brothers Osborne Tour Dates](https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/6581772/264167/4272?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2F) ## How the Rotating Lineup Shapes the Night The four-opener model on the Love & Fear Tour creates a broad but coherent musical arc. Grace Potter brings Vermont-rooted rock and Americana; Old Crow Medicine Show delivers Grammy-winning bluegrass and Appalachian folk; Brothers Osborne cover country-rock and honky-tonk; Fitz and the Tantrums add indie-pop and soul. Each act speaks to a different slice of the Zac Brown Band audience while still matching the headliner’s genre-blending catalog. Brothers Osborne appear across multiple clusters in September, October, and November, which gives the tour a recurring country-rock throughline. Their collaborations with Zac Brown Band in Charleston and Tampa turned the support slot into a performance event in its own right, rather than a brief warm-up. At the same time, the tour carries visual and sonic elements from the Sphere residency into arenas, so the production scale supports both the opener and the headliner. Zac Brown Band also extended the tour’s community focus beyond the stage with a YouTube series, Duncan’s Detours, which follows longtime associate Duncan Butler as he explores local spots in each city. ## Practical Tips for Attending a Love & Fear Tour Show Ticketmaster notes that gates typically open 60 to 90 minutes before showtime for Love & Fear Tour dates and recommends checking venue entry rules, bag policies, and transportation details in advance. For shows with a 7:00 p.m. listed event time at mid-size arenas, Zac Brown Band usually takes the stage between 8:15 and 8:45 p.m. The opener plays near the printed event time, so fans who want to see Brothers Osborne or Grace Potter should plan to arrive early. Recent setlists suggest an average Zac Brown Band runtime of about two hours and 10 minutes, with roughly 22 to 26 songs per show. The Grand Rapids opening night on July 17, 2026, featured a first set that ended with an acoustic block, a second set, and a cover-heavy encore, though the exact structure shifts by city. The encore has drawn from a wide cover catalog, including Joe Walsh’s “All Night Long,” Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On,” and the Eagles’ “Heartache Tonight,” with Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Free Bird” often closing the night. Plan on spending around four hours at the venue from arrival to exit.
