Setlists & Snapshots: Mixtape with Bonnie’s Summer Tour 2025

The sun was setting over Lake Winnipesaukee, but the energy was just starting to rise as Zac Brown Band took the stage for their 17th performance at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion in Gilford on May 30. And with a devoted fan family that packs the venue year after year, it felt less like a concert and more like a reunion.

The band opened strong with the laid-back, summer-soaked anthem “Toes”, instantly setting the tone for a night of feel-good vibes and genre-crossing magic. The crowd swayed, sang, and raised their drinks in unison—until the mood shifted gears in the best possible way.

Without missing a beat, ZBB dove into a searing cover of the Rolling Stones’ “Paint It Black.” The opening riff sent a jolt through the crowd, who leapt to their feet as the band transformed the rock classic into a southern-rock juggernaut. The haunting melody met ZBB’s signature harmonies, and the pavilion roared with applause.

What makes a ZBB show unforgettable isn’t just the musicianship—it’s the community. Their fanbase isn’t just loyal; it’s familial. Concertgoers wore worn-in tour shirts from years past, swapped stories in the beer lines, and danced like no one was watching. It’s this unique blend of tradition, musical risk-taking, and down-home charm that keeps fans coming back, year after year.

Whether they’re serving up breezy beach-country or throwing down gritty rock covers, Zac Brown Band knows how to throw a party—and make it personal. Seventeen shows deep in Gilford, and they’re still finding new ways to surprise, connect, and bring the crowd to its feet.
