Southern rock legends Lynyrd Skynyrd have announced a UK tour, and Blackberry Smoke are coming along for the ride. The run of four dates kicks off at Manchester's AO Arena on July 15 and visits Birmingham and Brighton before finishing at Wembley Arena in London on July 19.
"It’s about the legacy of Lynyrd Skynyrd, and what it stands for, what the fans are all about," says frontman Johnny Van Zant. "There’s nothing like getting out there, playing a great show with Skynyrd and seeing people love this music.”
Presale tickets go on sale at 10am tomorrow UK time, while the general sale starts at 10am on Friday from AEG Presents.
Lynyrd Skynrd's last UK dates were in 2019, while Blackberry Smoke visited last summer on their Be Right Here Tour.
