Country singers Zach Bryan and Gavin Adcock seemingly got into a heated brawl during the Born & Raised Festival in Oklahoma.
“Hey, you want to fight like a man? Wanna open the gates?” Bryan, 29, told Adcock, 26, in now-viral social media footage during the Saturday, September 13, festival, from their positions on opposite sides of a barbed wire fence. “You want me to throw a beer or something?”
Bryan then shoved the fence before climbing over the top — despite the exposed barbed wire — to get to Adcock’s side, where he was promptly tackled by security guards.
Adcock later shared footage from the altercation via his Instagram, writing, “When you get death threats from Sack Cryin’ before you headline in his hometown. … Eat a Snickers, bro.”
Gavin Adcock Slams Zach Bryan, Claims He Isn’t ‘That Great of a Person’
Bryan has not publicly addressed the incident. Us Weekly has reached out for comment.
The two country musicians have been at odds this summer after Adcock called out Bryan for allegedly failing to agree to meet a young fan after a concert.
“If you can’t handle the criticism of a 14 year old, why do people idolize you?” Adcock wrote via X in July. “That kid was head over heels to meet you and spent/ parents spent a ton of money to see you. He’s got feeling too and a you’re a ‘grown man’ nearly 30. They’re the only reason you are around.”
Bryan later appeared to address the diss in a message on his account.
“You’re not entitled after someone plays two and a half hours to a picture or a hello,” Bryan replied to Adcock in a since-deleted X post. “I went out and took pictures both night one and three. I had a third show the next day and it was late, needed to rest.”
Adcock later doubled down on his stance while appearing on the “Nashville Now” podcast the next month.

“It wasn’t about not wanting to sign autographs after a show, it’s like letting a 14-year-old kid rant, without saying, ‘Get off my d***’ You’re bigger than that,” Adcock said during the August episode. “I think that Zach Bryan puts on a big mask in his day-to-day life and sometimes he can’t help but rip it off and show his true colors. I don’t know if Zach Bryan’s really that great of a person.”
Bryan did not address Adcock’s comments at the time, though he’s usually outspoken when it comes to defending himself and his inner circle.
“All of you f***in weird couch warriors attacking and belittling my friends on the internet because you’re assuming I have a girlfriend are weird as hell and should be studied for science,” Bryan said during an Instagram Story rant in January. “Everyone wonders why I quit touring and don’t want to be attached to music anymore, meanwhile you’re calling my friends ugly and harassing them?”
