Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band Detail Runaway Train Tour
Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band have announced their initial 2017 North American tour dates. Dubbed the Runaway Train tour, the 24-date run, with additional stops to follow, launches this summer.
The Runaway Train tour kicks off on August 24th in Toledo, OH at Huntington Center and will wrap on October 28th at Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix, AZ. The arena and amphitheater tour will eventually include additional dates in Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Seattle, Minneapolis and other cities to be announced at a later time.
The Detroit native has two hometown shows currently scheduled: DTE Energy Music Theatre, formerly known as Pine Knob, has already sold out; his Palace of Auburn Hills concert on September 23rd goes on sale on June 9th. Select dates will include special guest Nancy Wilson of Heart. Tickets can be purchased via BobSeger.com and Live Nation.
Earlier this week, Seger teased a full tour on Twitter with a video set to 1973’s “Turn the Page.” The addition of a graphic noting “One last time” has led fans to speculate that Seger’s upcoming tour will be the final one of his career.
