"To Our Fans, We are deeply disappointed to share that Zac Brown Band will no longer be performing at Nashville's Big Bash tomorrow night on CBS. Despite taking precautions, I've tested positive for COVID-19," the letter read. "While we were very excited to join the incredible line up of artists and millions of amazing fans tuning in to watch, our #1 priority is the safety and well-being of our fans, band, crew and venue staff. We're looking forward to great things ahead and seeing you all on our tour next year. We wish everyone a safe, healthy and happy 2022! [Love] Zac."
"In the spirit of Nashville, the party will keep going until 12:30 a.m. central with other performers in the previously announced lineup stepping up to provide additional music. We look forward to an exciting and safe event for Music City," according to a statement on the website promoting the event.

The concert is free and open to the public. The five-hour television celebration on CBS will feature nearly 50 performances from a dozen locations in downtown, including acts from Lower Broadway's honky-tonks, bars and clubs that will be part of the broadcast. It will be aired on the CBS Television Network, and available to stream live and on-demand on Paramount+.
A second stage will be located at Skydeck on Broadway and an entertainment venue at Assembly Food Hall, for a ticketed event. Performances there will include Riley Green, Chris Janson, Jon Pardi and Carly Pearce
