Zach Bryan is preparing to give fans more than another collection of songs. The country star has announced his first in-depth memoir, Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs, alongside an EP bearing the same title, opening a new chapter that will also take him across North America and Australia.
According to PEOPLE, the book will explore the experiences behind Bryan's rise, including his childhood, Navy service and transition into a stadium-filling songwriter. A special hardcover-and-vinyl bundle will feature an individually numbered EP pressing limited to 5,000 copies. The announcement puts his personal story alongside the music through which fans first came to know him.
The new EP arrives Friday, October 16, through Warner Records, according to JamBase. Its unusually titled collection will also lend its name to Bryan's 2027 tour, connecting the recording project with an international live campaign.
Promoted by AEG Presents, the Young Manhood and Other Donatable Organs Tour will span 23 shows at 19 stadiums. It opens April 28 at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, with stops including Chicago, East Rutherford, Philadelphia, Atlanta and Buffalo before further summer performances and a December Australian leg.
The supporting lineup brings together several generations of songwriting talent. John Fogerty and Fey Fili will join the opening run, while Ryan Bingham and The Texas Gentlemen, alongside Gabriella Rose, will support the July and August dates. Vance Joy and Emma Ogier are scheduled for Australia.
Australian fans will receive six stadium performances, with two nights each in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane. Frontier Touring describes the visit as Bryan's first headlining Australian tour, following his exclusive 2023 appearance at Melbourne's Flemington Racecourse, which sold out within minutes.
The announced itinerary includes Marvel Stadium on December 3-4, Accor Stadium on December 10-11 and Suncorp Stadium on December 17-18, 2027. The schedule gives Australian audiences a much broader opportunity to see the singer after his previous one-off visit.
For North American dates, the tour announcement lists an artist presale beginning October 21 at 10 a.m. local time, followed by a local presale October 22 and general sales October 23. Australian buyers should consult the local promoter's listings for their city's sale time.
