Country soul duo the War and Treaty are closing out 2025 in grand style. They were the first-ever live act to perform “America the Beautiful” at a WWE live event when they opened the wrestling promotion’s Indianapolis Wrestlepalooza event in September.
Just a week later, they made a surprise appearance at country superstar Zach Bryan’s Michigan Stadium concert to perform their collaboration, “Hey Driver,” as part of the largest ticketed concert in U.S. History.
They also join Sam Smith for their To Be Free: New York City residency at Warsaw in Brooklyn for seven dates starting on Saturday, November 29. Add in the fact they’ve garnered their third “Duo of the Year” for this year’s Country Music Awards, and that’s a pretty amazing couple of months.
