Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band Announces Keep The Party Going Tour

Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band, the popular ensemble who backed the iconic hitmaker around the world for decades, will be hitting the road this summer on their “Keep The Party Going Tour – Presented by Margaritaville” celebrating the songs and Parrothead community that defined a generation of fans.

Led by 10-time CMA winner, Mac McAnally, the 19-date run will visit venues across the U.S. beginning in July, with stops in major cities including Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Austin, Boston and more.

The tour continues the band’s tradition of delivering singalong-filled summer nights that Buffett made a yearly ritual. The Coral Reefer Band will also honor another long-standing Buffett tradition by supporting Singing for Change, a charity that funds local, non-traditional community organizations with a record of turning good vibes into good deeds.

On tour, fans can expect an evening filled with many of the iconic songs that defined Buffett’s career, as well as deep cuts and stories from the musicians who played alongside the beloved entertainer.

​​The Coral Reefer Band began their journey with the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer in 1973. While members have changed over the years, most of the band have performed with Buffett for the past three decades. Together, they have toured the world over the course of 40 tours and 30 albums.

Highly regarded as a band, the players have had solo success of their own. Sharing lead vocals will be McAnally, Scotty Emerick, Will Kimbrough, Peter Mayer and Nadirah Shakoor. Before he passed in September of 2023, Buffett asked that everyone “keep the party going” and that’s what his band continues to do.

Tickets will be available starting with a Citi presale beginning March 17 at 10:00 AM local time. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on sale which will begin March 20 at 10:00 AM local time.

A variety of different VIP packages are available. Packages vary but may include premium seats, access to the Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band pre-show soundcheck, meet & greet and photo op with Mac McAnally and members of the Coral Reefer Band, VIP-exclusive gift item and more.
