Alabama Announce the Hits Tour 2018
Country Music Hall of Fame members Alabama will embark on an extensive concert tour this spring and summer, crisscrossing the U.S. and Canada on the Hits Tour 2018.
Promising longtime fans a show filled with many of the hit songs that made Alabama such a dominant force in country and beyond through the 1980s, the Hits Tour kicks off March 23rd in Grand Prairie, Texas, and wraps September 8th in Brandon, Mississippi. More than 20 dates have been announced so far, including a three-night stand at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia.
Founded by cousins Randy Owen, Teddy Gentry and Jeff Cook in 1969, Alabama have charted more than 30 Number One songs over the course of their career, fusing country songwriting with an unabashedly rock sound to create influential favorites like “Mountain Music,” “Song of the South” and “I’m In a Hurry (And Don’t Know Why),” among numerous others.
Owen and Gentry will both take the stage on the Hits Tour 2018, but Cook will attempt to perform only select dates, having mainly retired from the road after revealing his Parkinson’s disease diagnosis in 2017.
