Zac Brown Band’s Vegas Sphere Residency Sparks Controversy
Fans are divided over the Zac Brown Band‘s recent residency at the Las Vegas Sphere. The group announced the show, titled “Love & Fear,” in July along with an album by the same name.
With eight dates between December 5th and January 17th, Zac Brown called the show his masterpiece. He shared:
“This show is the story of my life that I have never shared, a journey through my imagination, music and stories that have defined who I am. All of this brought to life in the incredible immersive environment of Sphere. It will be a unique experience where you can really feel every note, every word, right there with us.”
However, when the show opened on December 5th, some fans were outraged by the imagery used during the song “Heavy is the Head.” While fiery visuals played on the massive screen behind him, Brown wore a crown that appeared to be made of bones and horns, with an animal skull at its center.
Clips quickly circulated online, with many viewers calling the display “dark” and “demonic.” Some even went as far as to say it resembled a Satanic ritual. See one example below.

Zac Brown Addresses “Horses**t” Allegations
On December 12th, when the Zac Brown Band returned to the Sphere for their second weekend of shows, the frontman took a moment to address the shocking allegations.
“I want to say a little something about this show, ’cause there’s a lot of people that pick it up online saying that we’re doing some kind of satanic ritual or something like that. I don’t think we can put any more love and light into a show than what we put into this one right here, ladies and gentlemen.”
Before the start of the residency, Brown alluded that the show was designed to take the audience on a journey that could be “uncomfortable.” He told US Weekly:
“Taking people on a journey through things that are uncomfortable and then creating that dissonance and then that tension and release is really the art of what we’re doing.”
Brown dismissed the accusations in front of the sold-out crowd, saying:
“And I think there are forces out there that don’t want this message to get out. So, if you get a minute, drop somebody a comment or something online that’s trying to say that we’re trying to worship the Devil, which is horse s***. ”
