Zac Brown Band Stuns Boston Crowd With Biggest Giveaway in History
The Zac Brown Band gave every single fan attending its Fenway Park concert a free two-person cruise, calling it the biggest giveaway in music history. Frontman Zac Brown made the surprise announcement mid-show during the band's Love & Fear US Tour stop in Boston on Sunday, saying he wanted to reward the entire audience rather than just a lucky few, and the crowd responded with an eruption of cheers.
The gesture, delivered in partnership with cruise line Margaritaville at Sea, was valued at around $40 million, though the cost was shared with the company rather than falling solely on Brown. Fans were instructed to text a code to redeem their prize, with cruises for two available to book over the following year; Margaritaville at Sea's CEO, Christopher Ivy, praised the collaboration as a fitting tribute to Brown's longtime supporters. The tour had already been handing out four cruises per show, but the Fenway Park event marked a dramatic escalation of the promotion.
In short
- Zac Brown Band gave every Fenway Park fan a free cruise for two.
- Giveaway, worth roughly $40 million, made with partner Margaritaville at Sea.
- Fans can redeem their cruise by text over the next year.
Explained simply
The Zac Brown Band is an American country music group led by singer Zac Brown. Fenway Park is a major outdoor venue in Boston, best known as the home of the Boston Red Sox, and it also hosts large concerts.
Margaritaville at Sea is a cruise line that partnered with the band for a fan promotion. The partnership matters because it shared the cost of the offer, which was described as worth about $40 million, and shows how companies can work with touring musicians to reach audiences.
