Zac Brown Band's Monster 'JEKYLL + HYDE' Tour By The Numbers

Spanning 40 cities with stadium runs including Boston's Fenway Park, New York's Citi Field and Chicago's Wrigley Field, Zac Brown Band is pulling out all the stops for what Rolling Stone aptly dubs the band's "biggest tour to date."

The 'JEKYLL + HYDE' tour has grown even bigger since its kickoff in Nashville, with the band recently adding 4 new US shows, including a second date at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. Full 2015 tour dates here: http://www.zacbrownband.com/shows.html
