Alabama Announce Second Leg of 50th Anniversary Tour
Alabama will continue to celebrate their 50th anniversary as a band in 2019 with a massive headlining tour that is now set to run through November.
Twenty-eight new stops on the tour have just been announced, including Canadian stops in Ottawa and Oro-Medonte. The 2019 Country Jam Colorado headliners have also named additional opening acts in Scotty McCreery and John Michael Montgomery.
"We never thought playing for tips at the Bowery in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, that 50 years later we would still playing arenas, stadiums and festivals," said frontman Randy Owen when the tour was first announced in December 2017.
"Teddy, Jeff and I are humbled at the amount of fans that are coming out to see us," he adds. "We are finding out that we are playing to three generations of fans who have followed us and our music from day one. The fans are the ones responsible for our continued success on the road and we love them."
Charlie Daniels Band, Marshall Tucker Band, Oak Ridge Boys, Restless Heart, Chris Janson, Tracy Lawrence and Exile will also join Alabama on select dates on their upcoming tour.
The band promises that each show will be "a night to remember for us. We'll be there to thank our loyal legions of fans for supporting three boys from Fort Payne, Alabama through thick and thin."
