George Strait Sets New US Concert Attendance Record with Historic Performance

All of George Strait’s fans, friends, and exes must live in Texas. The country music star performed at Kyle Field at Texas A&M in College Station, Texas, over the weekend and set a new record for the largest US-ticketed show in history.

The crowd reached over 110,905 people, breaking the all-time attendance record set by the Grateful Dead at New Jersey’s Raceway Park in 1977. That Dead show had just over 107,000 attendees.

According to Billboard, Straight told the crowd, “We got some Aggie’s out there? Oh yeah! I’m ashamed to say this, but this is my first time to ever be in Kyle Field… damn. Just invite me back, I’ll come!”

“MIA in MIA” and “The Little Things,” two brand-new tracks from Strait’s upcoming album “Cowboys and Dreamers,” were released. As one of the all-time greatest musicians, Straight has sold more than 120 million records globally.
