Zac Brown Band Stands By Sphere Show After Online Accusations of ‘Demonic’ Imagery

The band says the visuals serve a story of moving from darkness to light.

Overview

  • The limited-engagement Love & Fear residency opened Dec. 5 at the Sphere in Las Vegas in support of the new album.
  • Social media clips showed skeletal visuals and a horn-like crown, leading some users and commentators to label the moment demonic.
  • A band representative said Monday the production’s creative themes and narrative structure will remain as intended.
  • Reporters contextualized the darker visuals as brief, song-specific theatrics tied to the Love & Fear narrative, including a sequence linked to the song “Animal.”
  • Upcoming dates on Dec. 12–13 and Jan. 9–10, 16–17 are sold out, with the album spanning rock, country and gospel and featuring Marcus King, Snoop Dogg and Dolly Parton.
