TOLEDO – Over 20,000 fans gathered in the Glass Bowl at the University of Toledo on Saturday, May 24, to hear Zac Brown Band, Dustin Lynch, Luke Grimes and Gaelic Storm perform at Glass City Live. It was the first concert at the Glass Bowl since July 1, 1994, when the Beach Boys and America performed.
Before the show, fans enjoyed grilling, tailgating and playing corn hole. Food trucks lined up by the end zone opposite the Larimer Athletic Complex, while The Stubborn Brother Pizza Bar set up shop on the field.
Lydia Fairchild, from Maumee, was one of the fans eagerly waiting for the show to start. Recently, she became a fan of the Zac Brown Band after friends in college eventually persuaded her to give country music a chance. Her favorite song? “Chicken Fried.”
“I love live music. It’s just a different way of feeling,” she said. “You can feel it here. It changes the energy of music, too. Once you listen to something live, you love it more.”…
