The Alabama Shakes are back, band announces first tour in 8 years with this Nashville stop
It's a good day to be a rock 'n' roll fan — after years of waiting, the Alabama Shakes are back.
The blues and soul group's first tour in eight years will bring them to Nashville's Ascend Amphitheater on Friday, July 25.
The "Hold On" band — which is comprised of Nashville singer and guitarist Brittany Howard, guitarist Heath Fogg and bassist Zac Cockrell — will be headed out on a 30-date North American tour starting in July.
They'll stop in cities across the country, including Las Vegas, New Orleans, Austin, Boston and Seattle. The band is also slated to hit the stage at the Minnesota Yacht Club Festival and Bourbon and Beyond.
The Alabama Shakes will be supported by various acts on their upcoming tour, including Bahamas, Shannon & The Clams, El Michels Affair, The Budos Band, Sam Evian, and Lee Fields.
The Nashville show will see opening sets from Alanna Royale and Caleb Elliott.
Howard announced the news on social media on Friday morning, saying "WE. ARE. BACK."
"@alabama_shakes will always hold a special place in my heart, and we can't wait to bring these songs—and this band—back this summer," she continued.
"It's gonna feel so good to be together again. And hey… we might be working up some new music too. Can't wait to share it with you later this year. The wait is OVER! Let's go!"
The announcement comes on the heels of Howard's performance at the 2025 Grammy Awards in the show's opening number, a cover of Randy Newman's "I Love L.A."
She hit the stage with Dawes, Sheryl Crow, St. Vincent and Brad Paisley.
