Zach Bryan scaled a barb-wire fence to fight fellow country star Gavin Adcock at a festival in Oklahoma over the weekend.
The feuding singers, who’ve been warring since July, came face to face with only a fence separating them.
In clips shared on social media — including one Adcock posted to his Instagram account — the singers are seen getting into a heated argument before things escalate.
“Hey, do you want to fight like a man? Come open the gate,” Bryan shouts at Adcock.
When Adcock nears the fence, Bryan appears to shove it in his direction, prompting security to get involved.
“When you get death threats from Sack Cryin before you headline in his hometown,” Adcock wrote over the video. “Eat a Snickers, bro.”
Additional footage of the encounter shows the country stars exchanging obscenities, including one clip where Bryan appears to yell, “If they open this f—ing gate, I’ll f—ing kill you.”
Adcock can be heard responding, “Come on over here and meet me with a world of hell buddy.”
Another video shows Bryan jumping the fence with barbed wire at the top, and the two men are seen attempting to get at one another as security guards intervene and move them in opposite directions.
Commenters slammed Adcock for hiding behind security, noting, “This lil clip ain’t fooling anybody,” to which the singer replied, “Had a show to play for Oklahoma. Wasn’t going to jail over that psycho.”
Bryan has not publicly discussed the confrontation.

The singers’ beef dates to July when Adcock blasted Bryan for how he responded to a young fan who was upset about not getting a photo with him after his three-night run at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey.
The 14-year-old fan made multiple TikTok videos ranting about not meeting Bryan, prompting the Something in the Orange singer to defend himself.
“You’re not entitled after someone plays 2 1/2 half hours to a picture or a hello,” Bryan wrote. “I went out and took pictures both night one and night three. I had a third show the next day, and it was late. I needed rest…. GOMD.”
Adcock weighed in on X, writing at the time, “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 and spent/ parents spent a ton of money to see you.”
He added: “He’s got feelings too and a you’re a ‘grown man’ nearly 30. They’re the only reason you are around.”
Adcock later clarified his criticism of Bryan, explaining on Rolling Stone’s Nashville Now podcast why he felt the need to get involved.
“It wasn’t about not wanting to sign autographs after a show,” he explained. “It’s like, letting a 14-year-old kid rant without saying, ‘Get off my d—.’ You’re bigger than that.”
Adcock continued: “I think that Zach Bryan puts on a big mask in his day-to-day life and sometimes he can’t help but rip it off and show his true colours.”
He added: “I don’t know if Zach Bryan’s really that great of a person.”
