Alabama Shakes Map Out Summer Reunion Tour

Following the Alabama Shakes’ surprise reunion in December, the band has announced their first tour together in eight years.

Singer/guitarist Brittany Howard, bassist Zac Cockrell, and guitarist Heath Fogg ended their lengthy hiatus at a Tuscaloosa benefit concert six weeks ago and, since then, announced a gig at the Minnesota Yacht Club festival, which suggested that Alabama Shakes would hit the road in 2025. Those plans were confirmed Friday as the group mapped out a massive reunion tour, which kicks off July 16 in Chicago and circles the country before concluding September 27 in Irving, Texas. Shannon and the Clams, the Budo Bands, El Michels Affair, and Y La Bamba are among the artists that will serve as opening acts along the tour.
