Strait announced that more than 110,905 people were in attendance. At the time, it was a new record for the most-attended ticketed concert ever in the United States, but fellow country star Zach Bryan eclipsed the mark a few weeks ago in Michigan.<\/p>\n RELATED: George Strait no longer has claim to largest concert crowd in U.S. history thanks to another country superstar<\/a><\/p>\n Since the Kyle Field show, Strait has sold out stadiums this summer in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Foxborough, Massachusetts and Inglewood, California. The only 2026 concert listed on his website as of Thursday is a May 2 show with Cody Johnson and Wyatt Flores at Clemson Memorial Stadium in South Carolina.<\/p>\n His only Texas performance this year was an intimate benefit in Boerne in July that raised $6.25 million for Hill Country flood victims.<\/p>\n RELATED: George Strait raises $6.25M for victims of Hill Country flooding<\/a><\/p>\n Strait also made headlines when President Donald Trump announced he would be one of this year’s Kennedy Center honorees<\/a>, along with Sylvester Stallone, KISS, singer Gloria Gaynor and actor-singer Michael Crawford.
