Introduction

George Strait performs during the Keith Gattis Tribute Show at Brooklyn Bowl Nashville on November 28, 2023 in Nashville, Tennessee.

The King of Country might just be the king of live shows, too.

As of this weekend, George Strait has broken the record for the largest single ticketed concert in U.S. history — as his Saturday, June 15 gig at Texas A&M’s Kyle Field in College Station saw a whopping 110,905 fans in attendance, per a release.

The attendance numbers helped straight break a record long held by the Grateful Dead — when the band jammed for 107,019 attendees during a 1977 concert at Raceway Park in Englishtown, N.J., per NPR

According to the release, Strait’s George Strait: The King at Kyle Field show featured special guests in Parker McCollum and Catie Offerman. Promoting his forthcoming September LP Cowboys and Dreamers, the 72-year-old country star’s setlist included hits such as “Here for a Good Time,” “Check Yes or No,” “Amarillo by Morning,” and “Take Me to Texas” — as well as some material off the new project.

Strait has four more shows scheduled for the calendar year, including June 29 at Rice-Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City; July 13 at Ford Field in Detroit; July 20 at Soldier Field in Chicago; and Dec. 9 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.

“We got a lot of songs to play for y’all today/tonight. What a beautiful night, too, right? We got some new stuff that we’re gonna do also, we got a new album … out in September called Cowboys and Dreamers, so we got some stuff from that we’re gonna play from that for you also and we got a really special thing we’re gonna do for you, so alright, what are we here for?!,” Strait said during the gig, before performing 2011 hit “Here for a Good Time.”

Alan Jackson – Way Down In My Whiskey

After decades in the public eye, the Osmonds, a family synonymous with musical success and wholesome entertainment, have transitioned from global superstars to a more private existence. This musical dynasty’s journey began with the elder brothers—Alan, Wayne, Merrill, and Jay—who started as a barbershop quartet. Their rise to international fame was meteoric, a trajectory that accelerated with the additions of Donny, who became a massive teen idol, and the youngest brother, Jimmy, who made history by landing a No. 1 hit in the UK at just nine years old. Their only sister, Marie, forged her own successful career with the country hit “Paper Roses.” At the height of their popularity, the Osmonds sold over 100 million records and were a dominant force in pop culture. However, as the 1980s arrived and the teen idol craze subsided, their fame waned, forcing them to navigate the tough road of re-establishing their careers. Out of the spotlight, the family faced significant personal hardships. Alan was diagnosed with progressive multiple sclerosis, Wayne battled brain tumors and strokes, Merrill’s son was born deaf, and Jimmy survived two strokes. Marie also endured the tragic loss of her son. Despite these immense challenges, the Osmonds demonstrated remarkable resilience and an unwavering commitment to one another. Each family member found their own way forward. Donny successfully reinvented himself across music, theater, and television, while Marie became a respected entrepreneur and mental health advocate. Jay embraced his creativity as a storyteller and playwright, and Jimmy found fulfillment in painting and a quiet family life. Today, while they have largely stepped away from the limelight, their legacy of talent, perseverance, and family love continues to resonate with fans worldwide.
