Bruce Springsteen made a surprise appearance at Zach Bryan's concert on July 20 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, joining Bryan and Caleb Followill of Kings of Leon to perform Springsteen's 1982 song "Atlantic City." Bryan introduced Springsteen as "one of the greatest men to ever exist, a New Jersey native," eliciting a roaring crowd response and chants of "Bruce." The collaboration also included an encore where Springsteen joined Bryan for his song "Revival," capping the final night of Bryan's three-show run at the venue.
