Zac Brown Band to Perform at College Football Playoff National Championship Tailgate

Zac Brown Band are set to headline the inaugural College Football Playoff National Championship Tailgate in January.

The event will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas on Jan. 12, 2015.

It's the culmination of college football's finest. The playoff will begin with the 2014-2015 season, leading to semifinals that match the No. 1 seed vs. No. 4, and No. 2 will face No. 3 in semifinal games. The first semifinals are set for Jan. 1, 2015 at the Rose Bowl and Sugar Bowl. The first national championship game will be Jan. 12, 2015 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, where ZBB will take the Capital One Quicksilver Music Stage to entertain the fans.

The Championship Tailgate event is free to all championship game ticket holders. More information is available here.

The Zac Brown Band performed for more than 1.1 million fans in 2014, wrapping up the Great American Road Trip Tour, which included a sold-out, two-night stand at Fenway Park with no support acts -- a feat only accomplished previously by Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, Jimmy Buffett & the Coral Reefer Band, the Police and the Rolling Stones. The group also performed at Wrigley Field.

The band recently announced new label partnerships with Universal’s John Varvatos Records, Big Machine Label Group and Republic Records, with a new record tentatively scheduled for spring of 2015. Their first-ever career anthology, 'Greatest Hits So Far... ' is set for release on Nov. 10.
