Bad Company, Jamey Johnson, Marshall Tucker Band and More to Join Second Leg of 2018 Dates
Earlier this year Southern Rock icons Lynyrd Skynyrd announced that after a career that has spanned more than 40 years and includes a catalog of more than 60 albums with more than 30 million units sold, they would embark on their Last of the Street Survivors Farewell Tour. Produced by Live Nation, the career-concluding two-year farewell tour will have logged over 50 stops by the end of 2018.
The first leg of dates this year kicked off Friday, May 4th in West Palm Beach, FL at the Coral Sky Amphitheatre. The South Florida Insider said of opening night, “…this was a kick ass rock concert that delivered all the energy, feel, and attitude that you’d ever want and/or need from a rock band. It was lit!”
Tickets for the second leg of 2018 shows go on sale to the general public starting Friday, June 15th at 10 am local time at LiveNation.com. The farewell tour will continue to take the band across the country through the remainder of this year and all of next year, giving fans one last unforgettable night of classic American Rock-and-Roll. 2019 tour dates will be announced soon.

As such, Citi cardmembers have access to purchase U.S. pre-sale tickets, which are available beginning Tuesday, June 12th at 10 am local time until Thursday, June 14th at 10 pm local time through Citi’s Private Pass program.
“This farewell tour has already been the perfect end to an incredible run and we are not even halfway through the tour yet! There is still lots of road to go and lots of fans to see one last time,” says Gary Rossington, original and founding member of Lynyrd Skynyrd. Lead vocalist, Johnny Van Zant added, “we are having a blast! Every crowd so far has been incredible. The energy and excitement they have been giving us has been like fuel on a fire. We can’t wait to get out there each night and burn it up!”
It was also announced that the Rock and Roll Hall of Famers will perform on Saturday, September 22nd at this year’s two-day iHeartRadio Music Festival in Las Vegas. The band join a star-studded lineup at T-Mobile Arena that includes Justin Timberlake, Jack White, Carrie Underwood, Mariah Carey, Jason Aldean, Sam Smith, Luke Bryan and more.
