Zac Brown Band's Sphere Las Vegas Show Taps Into Lyrical Themes Of New Album, 'Love & Fear'

Zac Brown Band launched a limited run of visually striking shows at the Sphere in Las Vegas on Friday (December 5). The performances are in support of the country band's eighth studio album, Love & Fear, which explores the duality of human experience through themes representing both pain and joy. The performance features powerful imagery, including a fiery skeleton with a crown of thorns during the dark song "Animal," a moment some fans found provocative but the visuals fit within the album's narrative. Frontman Zac Brown says of his new project: "Love and fear push us, challenge us, and shape who we become. These songs reflect the highs, the lows and everything in between." The band continues their run at the Sphere with sold-out performances on Dec. 12 and Dec. 13, as well as a series of shows in the new year on January 9, 10, 16 and 17, 2026.
