You got chills, they’re multiplying, but it’s not because of the music!
Zach Bryan‘s “Quittin’ Time” tour has been a smash hit, but his concert in Columbus, Ohio on June 22nd had a guest nobody expected: a fearless (or perhaps terribly lost)spider!
The incident even transcended the realm of social media. Devoted fans onsetlist.fm, a website that crowdsources concert setlists, gave the spider an honorary spot as a performer for the Columbus show. Now that’s some serious dedication!
Zach Bryan on his recent tour “Quittin’ Time”
Buckle up, because this story goes from toe-tapping to eight-legged terror in the blink of an eye.
The Spider Show up
If you’re arachnophobic, look away now! Zach Bryan’s “Quittin‘ Time” tour has been nothing short of phenomenal, selling out shows left and right.
However, his June 22nd concert in Columbus, Ohio, had a surprise guest that wasn’t on the bill: a fearless spider!
During an electrifying performance of his hit song “Something in the Orange,” a brave (or perhaps confused) spider decided to hitch a ride across
Bryan’s shirt and up his shoulder. Luckily, the encounter was captured by eagle-eyed fans in the audience. The footage shows Bryan first noticing the eight-legged stowaway, then swiftly swatting it away with a chuckle.
Zach Shared the Funny Incident on Social Media
True to his down-to-earth personality, Bryan later took to Twitter, sharing the hilarious incident with his fans.
“Guys a whole ass spider climbed on me during my set last night and I stopped mid set to swat it off of me and I was scared to make a big deal of it because NOBODY saw it but here it is in all her glory it was massive,”he wrote, attaching a photo of the spider clinging to his shirt.

Fans replied to Bryan’s tweet with a mix of amusement and horror. One fan, Chad (@fish0462), even shared a close-up photo of the spider, proving it was definitely not a case of mass arachnid hallucination.
This unexpected encounter highlights the unique connection between Zach Bryan and his audience. His genuine personality and ability to connect with fans on a personal level make him a true rockstar (pun intended) – even when a spider tries to steal the show.
But wait, there’s more to the story!Spiders at concerts aren’t exactly unheard of.
In fact, there seems to be a strange trend of these creepy crawlies crashing live performances. Here are a few other memorable incidents:
Beyoncé vs. Spider: QueenBeyherself encountered a spider during a 2013 concert in Antwerp, Belgium. Unlike Bryan, she opted for a more graceful approach, simply flicking the spider away with a flick of her wrist.
Axl Rose and the Not-So-Welcome Guest: Back in 1991, Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose had a less pleasant experience. While performing at a concert in St. Louis, a spider crawled into his ear! Needless to say, the show was briefly interrupted as Rose dealt with the unwelcome visitor.
Arachnids Take OverCoachella?: Perhaps the most notorious spider concert incident happened at Coachella 2012. Multiple reports surfaced of spiders rappelling down from the stage during performances, though the festival organizers denied it was a planned stunt.
So, what can we learn from these creepy encounters? Well, for one, it seems no performer is immune to a surprise spider guest.
Secondly, it’s a testament to the professionalism of these artists that they can handle such unexpected situations with grace (or a well-placed swat).
Looking beyond the laughs, this incident also raises some interesting questions.
Are spiders drawn to the bright lights and energy of concerts? Or are they simply looking for a warm place to hitch a ride? Perhaps one day science will unlock the secrets of spider concert attendance.
In the meantime, Zach Bryan’s “spider concert” adds another layer to his already entertaining tour.
With his new album, “The Great American Bar Scene,” set to drop on July 4th, one can only wonder what other surprises await fans on the road ahead.
Will there be more eight-legged cameos? Only time will tell, but one thing’s for sure: Zach Bryan’s “Quittin’ Time” tour is one for the books – with or without any creepy crawlies!
