Trending on Billboard
Zach Bryan has been announced as a performer for the EA Sports Presents Madden Bowl, stepping in for Luke Combs, who has withdrawn from the event due to family commitments. Combs and his wife, Nicole, are expecting their third child.
In a statement shared on Instagram, EA Sports expressed their support, saying, “Update: Luke has to hold it down at home with a new one on the way. All love for Luke and his family — and we can’t wait to put on an unforgettable #MaddenBowl with @zachlanebryan leading an incredible night of music and football for the fans.”
The Madden Bowl is scheduled for February 6 at the Chase Center in San Francisco. Joining Bryan on the lineup are Teddy Swims, Stephen Wilson Jr., Gavin Adcock, and rapper LaRussell. The event precedes this year’s Super Bowl, which is set for February 8 in Santa Clara, California, featuring a matchup between the Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots.
Reflecting on his participation, Swims stated, “The last year has been surreal for me, and bringing that energy to Chase Center for Madden Bowl is a dream! Football, the Super Bowl, and Madden are such a big part of how people come together, and music is always right there with it.” He added, “EA Sports has put together an incredible lineup, and I can’t wait to take the stage!”
The event’s blue carpet will kick off at 7 p.m. PT, hosted by New York Giants quarterback Jameis Winston along with sports commentator Kay Adams. The Madden Bowl will be broadcast through EA Sports’ social media channels.
John Reseburg, VP of Marketing, Partnerships and Communications at EA Sports, remarked, “With Super Bowl LX in the backyard of our global headquarters, this year truly feels like a home game for us. This will be our biggest presence ever, and EA Sports Presents Madden Bowl is at the center of it, a celebration of the fans, athletes, creators, and music shaping the culture of football. We’re going to bring an incredible show to the Bay and share that energy with football fans everywhere.”
Recently, Bryan achieved a significant milestone by securing his second Billboard 200 chart-topping album with his latest release, With Heaven on Top, which debuted at the top of the all-genre albums chart.
