2016 is shaping up to be another great year to see some of country music's biggest acts right here in our own backyard, with Zac Brown Band being the latest act to announce they'll be headlining an outdoor show here in the Land of 10,000 Lakes this year.

The official announcement was made late Friday that Zac Brown Band's 'Black Out The Sun' Tour will be playing Target Field on Saturday, May 28th (that's the Saturday of the Memorial Day weekend this year.)

Set to open for ZBB are Drake White and the Big Fire. Tickets for the Saturday show are set to go on sale Friday, March 11th at 10 a.m. Pre-sale tickets go on-sale (if you're a ZBB fan club member) on Wednesday, March 9th at 10 a.m. until Thursday, March 10th at 5 p.m. You can get more pre-sale information HERE.

This spring's show, while it's their first headlining stop in Minnesota, won't be ZBB's first time playing at Target Field. They opened for Kenny Chesney during his 'No Shoes Nation' tour along with the Eli Young Band and Kacey Musgraves back in 2013. ZBB also played sold-out shows, though indoors, at Target Center back in 2011 and 2012.
