‘Selling themselves to the devil’

The Zac Brown Band opened up its “Love & Fear” residency at the Las Vegas Sphere Friday night and promptly freaked some folks out with the visuals.

What was the big issue?

Well, as Whiskey Riff noted, videos from the opening of the show “appeared to be a descent into Hell.” TikTok videos shared from the concert show Brown playing while wearing a crown that looked a whole heck of a lot like horns while being surrounded by skeletal, Devil-like images.

It was definitely an interesting scene, but not everyone was happy with what took place.

“Very popular American country rock band The Zac Brown Band performed at the Las Vegas Sphere,” Isaac’s Army wrote on X.

“As you can see here he is performing a Satanic Ritual over his unsuspecting fans during the show. This is a classic case of Loosh harvesting.”

“Zac Brown Band performed a demonic ritual at the sphere,” Truth Seeker posted on X. “Most of these concerts are energy harvesting rituals.”

Country music star John Rich shared video of it and his followers were quick to chime in.

“Demonic … evil does not hide anymore,” Monica Keatts replied. “It’s celebrated.”

“More ‘artists’ who achieved success by selling themselves to the devil,” another wrote.

The band shared photos from the first night on X, and fans replied there with their disdain for the imagery as well.

“Gross,” IAHusker42 replied. “Occult vibes are really strong.”

“Demonic programming,” David Williams wrote.

“Loving all the death and suffering imagery these days,” Wade Perkins wrote. “Country ‘music’ sure has come a long way ain’t it?”

Brown has surely seen the criticism. It will be interesting to see if he comments on it.
