In conjunction with the Friday release of his seventh studio album Tattoos, Brantley Gilbert brought together 118,000 people in downtown Nashville for Brantley Gilbert’s World’s Largest Album Release Party. Closing down Music City’s famous Broadway, fans stood shoulder to shoulder from 5th to 3rd Avenue enjoying electrifying night of music. Listen to Tattoos above.
Gilbert performed a mix of hits, fan favorites and new tracks from Tattoos. Launching the night with his headlining tour’s namesake, “Off The Rails” and sending the massive Broadway crowd into a pyrotechnic-fueled frenzy, Gilbert also had a host of surprise guests including Colt Ford (marking his first performance since suffering from a life-threatening heart attack earlier this year), his “Over When We’re Sober” duet partner Ashley Cooke, Gary LeVox and his frequent collaborators and tourmates Demun Jones and Struggle Jennings.
Taking a moment to thank his team behind the scenes, the multi-Platinum Gilbert also addressed the fans: “We wouldn’t be here doing this without y’all, so thank you for being here. It means the world to us.”
