NEW YORK, NY. (Top40 Charts/ Atlantic Records) -
Kid Rock and
Lynyrd Skynyrd announce they will join forces again to provide the best show of the summer, reprising last year's highly successful "Rock and Rebels" tour. The Live Nation produced tour kicks off in West Palm Beach, FL at the Cruzan Amphitheatre with a 22 market trek through outdoor amphitheaters across the country. Tickets go on sale beginning March 20th, for specific on-sale dates and additional ticket information go to www.livenation.com.
Kid Rock's "Rock 'N Roll Jesus" debuted at No 1 in 2007 and became the No 1 selling rock album of 2008. Sales of the record continue to grow towards triple platinum, aided by a pair of Grammy nominations and an amazing performance on the telecast featuring his expanded 11-piece Twisted Brown Trucker Band, who will once again accompany him on tour. His next single, "Blue Jeans and a Rosary" is shipping to radio outlets now.
Ranked as one of the best-selling bands of all time by the Recording Industry Association of America and recent Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees, Lynyrd Skynyrd is still going strong with 30 million albums sold to date, and over 80 performances annually. To date, the Southern anthem "Sweet Home Alabama" has passed the 2,000,000 mark in downloaded master ring tones, proving that Lynyrd Skynyrd is a major industry icon that appeals to all generations.
