The University of Michigan will host its first-ever concert at Michigan Stadium in September. Instead of hosting the Wolverines' college football games or the occasional NHL or soccer games, "The Big House" will be the location of a concert featuring Zach Bryan, John Mayer, Ryan Bingham And The Texas Gentlemen and Joshua Slone on September 27.

Bryan is a country music singer-songwriter and the Best Country Duo/Group Performance winner for his song "I Remember Everything."

Mayer has won seven Grammys and received 19 nominations. Known for his prowess and skill as a guitarist, the 47-year-old has released eight studio albums in his performing career, which began in 1998.

"The Big House" is the largest stadium in the Western Hemisphere and the third-largest in the world. Its official seating capacity is 107,601.

Zach Bryan will headline the first-ever concert at Michigan Stadium this September.

Bingham may be better known for his role in the show Yellowstone, but the 43-year-old singer-songwriter started out playing music. His song "The Weary Kind" won Best Original Song at the 2010 Academy Awards and Best Song Written for Visual Media at the 2011 Grammy Awards.

Slone is an up-and-coming country artist from Paintsville, Kentucky.

Given Michigan Stadium's huge seating capacity, almost all of the largest attendance records in college football history were set there. The most attended game at "The Big House" was Michigan's 2013 matchup against Notre Dame, where 115,109 patrons attended.
