Brad Paisley to headline BYU's Stadium of Fire on July 4

Brad Paisley will perform at BYU's Stadium of Fire on July 4, 2026, marking his second appearance at the event. His father, Doug Paisley, has developed a fondness for BYU, influenced by a long-standing connection to Cougar fans in West Virginia. The concert coincides with celebrations of America's 250th birthday, linking the Paisleys' West Virginia roots with their ties to the university. Doug Paisley recalls supportive interactions with BYU fans throughout the years, and the Cougars are set to compete in the Big 12, having previously faced off against West Virginia twice as conference opponents in recent seasons.
