Lynyrd Skynyrd Expands Tour Dates | Music News

Lynyrd Skynyrd just announced 10 new tour dates, with six this year and four in mid-2027—plus extra shows in September and November. After wrapping their summer run with Foreigner, they’re headlining solo gigs through fall. The band’s iconic “Free Bird” story? Johnny Van Zant, who joined in 1987, initially resisted singing it out of respect for his late brother Ronnie—but Gary Rossington convinced him to take the lead, honoring Ronnie’s legacy. Fans can catch them on the road with Molly Hatchet, 38 Special, and Foghat in 2026 and 2027. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
