Bruce Springsteen joins Zach Bryan for surprise 'Atlantic City' performance: Watch
Even Bruce Springsteen isn't too big for a cameo. The Boss joined musicians Zach Bryan and Caleb Followill of the Kings of Leon for a rendition of his 1982 classic "Atlantic City" at Bryan's July 20 MetLife Stadium show in New Jersey. The Kings of Leon and Jersey-based Rock band Front Bottoms were the openers for the concert, while Springsteen, 75, was a surprise guest, joining later for a quick-lick guitar solo on Bryan's track "Revival" during the encore. "Proud to call him my hero, one of the greatest songwriters to ever live," Bryan said before introducing the legendary rocker. "If you guys will have him, this is Bruce Springsteen!" Why Bruce Springsteen changed his set list to end concerts with this song The pair then moved on to play "Atlantic City," a harmonica-heavy ballad off Springsteen's 1982 album "Nebraska." Followill, Bryan and Springsteen stood at side-by-side mics, passing the lyrics back and forth, before embracing at the end of the track as the crowd coo-ed "Bruuuucee!" Bryan, 29, has followed in Springsteen's singer-songwriter footsteps, often folding angst into his scratchy, smoker's vocals and genre-bending music, which features a cocktail of folk, country and soul. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band still rock, quake and shake after 50 years Springsteen joined Bryan on stage last year in Brooklyn and Philadelphia, lending old-school rocker legitimacy to an emerging act. The two also collaborated on the track "Sandpaper" off Bryan's 2024 album, "The Great American Bar Scene." The July 20 show was the third for Bryan this weekend at MetLife, the first time a country artist played three nights in a single stand at the venue. Springsteen is fresh off the release of a previously unheard cache of tracks from years passed. On "Tracks II: The Lost Albums," the Boss treats fans to the musical roads not taken, with mystic, ranchera, and rock music blending on a masterful mix of some 83 songs.

Zach Bryan at MetLife Stadium: Everything you need to know about tickets, setlist, more
Country superstar Zach Bryan may be from Oklahoma, but he sure knows the backstreets of New Jersey. Bryan — who plays Friday, July 18; Saturday, July 19; and Sunday, July 20, on his Quittin' Time Tour at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford — recorded a song called 'Oak Island' for his 2024 'The Great American Bar Scene' album. Fans assumed the track was about Oak Island, North Carolina, but it actually refers to the Oak Island Yard train depot in the Ironbound section of Newark. 'We were playing in Brooklyn. I was living on a bus in parking lot in Secaucus, NJ, for two days. We passed a shipyard called Oak Island,' explained Bryan on social media when a fan asked him about the backstory of the song. The Kings of Leon and the Front Bottoms, Jersey guys, will open the shows. Another Jersey guy, Bruce Springsteen, joined Bryan on stage last year in Brooklyn and Philadelphia. If the Boss does play with Bryan at MetLife this weekend, he'll pass Oak Island on the New Jersey Turnpike on the way up.
