Country giant George Strait might get even taller with his next concert: He could beat the Grateful Dead's record for the highest-attended show.We're in the midst of our spring campaign, and we have until June 7 to raise $4,000. This money directly supports the journalismproduces and helps keep our work freely accessible for all, because not everyone can afford to pay for news. If you value our work, please make a contribution today to help us reach our goal.
“George has always said he has the best fans, and there’s nothing like a Texas crowd,” Strait’s concert promoter Louis Messina said in a statement to. “We knew the show at Kyle Field would be exciting as it’s the first-ever one of its size to be held in the stadium, but even I didn’t expect we’d sell over 100,000 tickets in just a few days.”
The Texas native might also beat the 50-year-old record for all-time attendance for a ticketed concert in the United States. That is currently held by The Grateful Dead, who had 107,019 Deadheads in attendance at their show at New Jersey’s Raceway Park in 1977. The record attendance for a Texas A&M football game at Kyle Field is 110,000, so surpassing both attendance numbers is still within Strait’s reach.
Strait’s Kyle Field show on June 15 will be the sixth stop on his 2024 concert calendar. The Texas troubadour will be joined by fellow Lone Star natives Parker McCollum and Catie Offerman for the College Station performance. More information on tickets can be found athas been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas — and we'd like to keep it that way.
