Country music legend George Strait broke records over the weekend with his performance at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas, setting a new record for the largest US ticketed show in history. The crowd topped at 110,905 people, surpassing the previous record set by the Grateful Dead in 1977.
According to Billboard, Strait expressed his gratitude to the crowd, saying, “We got some Aggie’s out there? Oh yeah! I’m ashamed to say this, but this is my first time to ever be in Kyle Field… damn. Just invite me back, I’ll come!”
With expected record attendance for the show, fans were in for a treat as Strait debuted two new songs, “MIA in MIA” and “The Little Things,” from his upcoming album, “Cowboys and Dreamers.” Strait, who has sold over 120 million records worldwide, solidified his status as one of the bestselling music artists of all time.
