Zach Bryan sure knows how to make headlines, and his recent antics at the Born & Raised Festival put him right back in the spotlight. According to Gavin Adcock, things got wild as Bryan was reportedly “drunk as hell,” even doing his best impression of a trash can at one point. You know things are bad when festival security is keeping an eye on you because you’re channeling your inner party animal in the worst way possible.
But the real meat of the story is the showdown between Adcock and Bryan. Adcock claims he was warned before his performance that Bryan might try to stir up trouble. Instead of taking the bait, he decided to keep his cool and focus on putting on a great show. And let’s be honest here—who wants to fight when there’s music to play? Plus, it’s probably a lot harder to play your guitar with a black eye.
What really irked Adcock was Bryan’s guest appearance during Gabriella Rose’s set, where he turned the focus onto himself instead of letting her shine. Adcock’s frustration is relatable: it’s tough being the one who works hard only to have someone else take your moment. So the question is, when drama unfolds at a festival, should artists be held accountable for behaving like, well… rock stars?
Festival shenanigans aside, let’s hope this is a learning moment for everyone involved. No one wants their festival experience to revolve around trash cans, but sometimes they just steal the show!
