Zach Bryan paused a recent show in Tacoma, Washington, after an attendee threw an object on stage.
Bryan performed at the Tacoma Dome on Friday and Saturday (22 and 23 November), showcasing epic 26-song setlists featuring songs from his self-titled album, American Heartbreak, The Great American Bar Scene, and more. So, interrupting a show like that wouldn’t be at the top of Bryan’s priorities.
USA Today reports that Bryan paused the show when someone threw an object at the stage, striking his guitar player. Video footage shared by Country Central, which you can watch below, shows the Something In The Orange singer stopping the show and attempting to find the culprit. Watching the video, it’s unclear what the object is, but it’s small—perhaps a vape.
Holding the object, Bryan asked the audience, “Who threw this? Who was it? Does anyone know? Who was it?”
As attendees tried to find the person who threw the object, Bryan asked, “Who are we pointing at?” He then reminded fans not to throw things at one another during concerts.
He continued, “And if you guys do know who threw it, we can get them out of here if we ever find out who did it.”

Zach Bryan is far from the only country artist to experience having something thrown on stage from the audience.
In July, a fan at a Morgan Wallen show threw a phone onto the stage, and the Last Night singer expressed pure disinterest in the incident.
Wallen reacted (or didn’t react) when the phone was thrown at the stage, hitting him in the left shoulder and landing on the stage floor. He continued to sing—he was performing Cowgirls—and while singing, he picked up the phone and threw it across the stage, receiving cheers from the audience.
In April, Luke Bryan slipped on a fan’s phone and fell on his back after it was thrown onto the stage while he performed at the Coast City Country Festival.
In response to the incident, Bryan laughed it off and said, “Did anybody get that?”
Before showing his audience a recap of the fall, Bryan turned to the fan who had thrown their phone on stage and told them, “It’s okay.”
He didn’t let them off too quickly, jokingly saying, “My lawyer will be calling.”
Last June, Kelsea Ballerini was struck in the face by what looked like a bracelet when someone threw an object on stage.
Ballerini told the audience, “Don’t throw things, you know? I just want shows of mine – every show, for every artist – but I’m in control of this one, and I just want it to be a safe space for everyone. We have little kids here. Can you help me do that tonight, please?”
Last year, The Music’s Melissa Griffin wrote an in-depth feature and asked if we’re witnessing the death of concert etiquette. You can read that here.
