Southern rock legends Lynyrd Skynyrd announced another leg of their Last of the Street Survivors Farewell Tour on Monday.
The group’s trek begins April 27 with an appearance at Stagecoach in Indio, Calif. Skynyrd will then tour intermittently beginning May 10 at Tuscaloosa, Ala.’s Tuscaloosa Amphitheater and concluding Sept. 28 at Orange Beach, Ala.’s Wharf Amphitheater.
Along the way, the band will visit states they didn’t perform in last year, including Mississippi, Utah, Maine, New Mexico, Oregon, Washington and Minnesota.
Skynyrd will also return to some venues they hit in 2016, including Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., where they sold 3,789 tickets for a gross of $75,780 in October 2016, and Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion in Gilford, N.H., where they sold 3,911 tickets for a gross of $230,764 earlier that year.
As they did in 2018, Hank Williams Jr. and Bad Company will provide support for different stints of the tour, as will Cody Jinks.
In early March, Lynyrd Skynyrd will tour through Canada, and in June, the band will visit European countries.
Lynyrd Skynyrd’s 2018 tour proved a massive success, landing the band on Pollstar‘s Year End Top 100 Worldwide Tours. Across 39 concerts, Skynyrd sold 531,514 tickets for a gross of $27.2 million.
