Zach Bryan jumps fence at festival to fight country singer Gavin Adcock amid heated feud
Instagram: Gavin AdcockCountry stars Zach Bryan and Gavin Adcock’s feud escalated into a physical confrontation at a festival in Oklahoma, when the two singers faced off moments before Adcock’s scheduled set.
A video shared by Adcock on Instagram shows the pair standing on opposite sides of a fence at the event.
In the clip, taken on September 13, Bryan can be heard saying, “Hey, do you want to fight like a man? Come open the gate,” before shoving the fence toward Adcock.
Adcock captioned the post, “When you get death threats from Sack Cryin before you headline in his hometown. Eat a Snickers, bro.”
Another video posted to Facebook shows Bryan climbing the barbed-wire fence in an effort to reach Adcock before being stopped by security. Adcock was then escorted away by a bodyguard.
Responding to a viewer who criticized him for not engaging, Adcock wrote, “Had a show to play for Oklahoma. Wasn’t going to jail over that Psycho,” according to Penn Live.
In a second Instagram post, Adcock accused Bryan of manufacturing the scene of jumping over the fence, given that he knew where he was all day and could have approached him at any time during the festival.
Zack Bryan vs Gavin Adcock beef explained
The altercation is the latest development in a public feud between the two singers. In July, Adcock called out Bryan on X after the Grammy-winning artist dismissed a teenage fan online. “If you can’t handle the criticism of a 14-year-old, why do people idolize you? That kid was head over heels to meet you … They’re the only reason you are around,” Adcock wrote.

Bryan replied in a since-deleted post, “You’re not entitled after someone plays two and a half hours to a picture or a hello.”
Adcock addressed the exchange in an August interview on Rolling Stone’s Nashville Now podcast, where he said, “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**k.’ You’re bigger than that.”
He also accused Bryan of putting on “a big mask” for fans, adding, “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.”
