Tyler joined the Atlanta country rockers for a stellar blast through “Walk This Way” (really, ZBB, could you please do an album of cover songs?) and “Sweet Emotion.”
The band also set a personal milestone, selling 105,000 tickets during a sold-out, three-night run at the historic baseball stadium (last summer ZBB filled two nights there and in May played a hometown double shot at Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre ).
The guys visit another stadium on Friday with a show at Nationals Park in D.C.
ZBB isn’t the only Georgia country act packing in the fans.
Jason Aldean’s co-headlining show with Kenny Chesney in Denver this weekend attracted 54,000 fans, bringing the tally for his “Burn it Down” tour to more than 2 million.
Also this month, the Macon native and Chesney will bring their sold-out, hits-packed spectacle to MetLife Stadium in New Jersey and Gillette Stadium in Boston, where two shows have sold out.
Chesney played to about 46,000 fans at the Georgia Dome earlier this summer, while Aldean sold out three shows in May 2014 – early in the tour's massive run – at Aaron's Amphitheatre at Lakewood.
