Zach Bryan and Gavin Adock will share space on Friday and as far as anyone can tell there will be no fences to separate them.
Both men are part of the Madden Bowl entertainment lineup slated for Feb. 6 at the Chase Center in San Francisco. It’s all part of a busy Super Bowl week for the game and EA Sports.
Zach Bryan, Gavin Adock Feud, Explained
Bryan and Adcock’s feud started — at least, publicly — after Bryan lashed out at a fan on social media who was disappointed not to get a picture or a hug after waiting near the stage after his show.
Adcock said that Bryan was ungrateful for his fans, and pointed out that this particular person was only 14 years old.

He also objected to Bryan using the acronym “GOMD,” which stands for “get off my d–k,” in his response to the fan.
Adcock fired off some more shots at Bryan during a late-August appearance on Rolling Stone‘s Nashville Now podcast.
He clarified that his issue with Bryan wasn’t so much that he didn’t give the fan their picture. Rather, he said that his response was about Bryan’s decision to call the fan out on social media after the fact.
“And I think that Zach Bryan puts on a big mask in his day-to-day life and sometimes he can’t help but rip it off and show his true colors,” he said.
“I don’t know if Zach Bryan’s really that great of a person.”
Bryan took exception to this and did his best to confront Adock at the Born & Raised Festival in Oklahoma last September. They gestured toward one another through a fence before Bryan chose to try to hop it.
After getting stuck on barbed wire he succeeded but security intervened. Adcock would later say he didn’t want to fight because he had a show to play while generally making light of the situation.
In the months since the incident, Bryan quit drinking and got married.
Gavin Adcock, Zach Bryan Feud Update
Unless they’ve made amends privately, there is no love lost between Bryan and Adcock. The “Last One To Know” singer is something of a provocateur (his latest beef is with Benjamin Tod) and the feuds often time with the release of new music (he dropped a new song called “Colorblind” on Friday).
Bryan may have a new point of view and sobriety may calm him. That said, this is the first time they’ve shared a bill since last September.
The promotional poster indicates that both Teddy Swims and Stephen Wilson Jr. will play between them however, although the show’s format isn’t quite clear. An rapper named Larussell will open the show.
