Brantley Gilbert brought 118,000 people together in Nashville for his World’s Largest Album Release Party to celebrate his seventh studio album, Tattoos. The event closed down Broadway and fans stood shoulder to shoulder from 5th to 3rd Avenue to enjoy a night filled with music. Listen to Tattoos HERE.

Gilbert performed a mix of hits, fan favorites and new tracks from Tattoos, which GRAMMY.com says “inks another portrait of small-town country life.” Launching the night with his headlining tour’s namesake, “Off The Rails” and sending the massive Broadway crowd into a pyrotechnic-fueled frenzy, Gilbert also had a host of surprise guests including Colt Ford (marking his first performance since suffering from a life-threatening heart attack earlier this year), his “Over When We’re Sober” duet partner Ashley Cooke, Gary LeVox and his frequent collaborators and tourmates Demun Jones and Struggle Jennings.

Taking a moment to thank his team behind the scenes, Gilbert also addressed the fans: “We wouldn’t be here doing this without y’all, so thank you for being here. It means the world to us.”
