The trek launches on July 16th in Chicago
After an eight-year absence, Alabama Shakes returns, announcing summer tour dates and promising fans that new songs are on the way.
Kicking off July 16th in Chicago at The Salt Shed-Fairgrounds, the North American headline run will include shows at such historic venues as Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre on July 20th, the Greek Theatre in Berkeley on August 14th, and Forest Hills Stadium in New York on September 17th. The band will also play several festivals, including Minnesota Yacht Club and Louisville’s Bourbon and Beyond.
“Last year, Heath, Zac, and I started chatting about how much fun it would be to make music together and tour again as Alabama Shakes,” states vocalist/guitarist Brittany Howard. “This band and these songs have been such a source of joy for all of us. It is crazy that it has been 10 years since we released Sound and Color and eight years since we played a show. But, we didn’t want this to entirely be a look back. We wanted it to be as much about the future as the past. So we have a bunch of new music that will be released soon. We just can’t wait to experience that ‘feeling’ when we start playing those first few notes of ‘Don’t Wanna Fight’ or ‘Gimme All Your Love.’”
Throughout the tour, Alabama Shakes will be joined by a variety of special guests, including Bahamas, Shannon & The Clams, El Michels Affair, The Budos Band, Sam Evian, Lee Fields, Greyhounds, Y La Bamba, Caleb Elliott, and Alanna Royale.
Alabama Shakes has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 per ticket supports organizations working for equity, access, and dignity for all.
VIP packages will be available with premium seating, exclusive merchandise, and early venue access for a seamless, elevated concert experience.
Presales start on Monday, February 10th at 10 am local time ahead of the general sale on Friday, February 14th.
The tour will mark Alabama Shakes’ first official live performances since their 2017 set at the Osheaga Music and Arts Festival in Québec. Howard and Alabama Shakes’ Heath Fogg and Zac Cockrell have been in the studio, working on new material with longtime collaborator Shawn Everett.
Alabama Shakes exploded out of obscurity in 2012 with Boys & Girls, which entered Billboard’s Independent Albums chart at No. 1. Boys & Girls earned the band multiple Grammy nominations. Soon after its release, the bandmates thrust into the global spotlight, achieving such milestones as performing at the White House and on Saturday Night Live.
