Pop, ‘80s rock, emo — and now country.

The Zac Brown Band becomes the latest act to announce a stop at Wrigley Field next summer. The country music band will hit Wrigleyville Sept. 12 as part of their Roar with the Lions tour.

This year, St. Paul and The Broken Bones will join the Zac Brown Band as special guests on stage.

Tickets for the Zack Brown Band will go on sale at 10 a.m. on Friday, Jan. 17.

The band joins a host of other acts ready to light up Wrigley Field next summer. Maroon 5 will play the field June 13 with special guests Leon Bridges and Meghan Trainor. Green Day, Fall Out Boy and Weezer are scheduled for Aug. 13, and on Aug. 28, fans of ‘80s rock can catch Def Leppard and Mötley Crüe along with Poison and Joan Jett and The Blackhearts at Wrigley.
