While no official announcement has been made yet, this year’s Mega Ticket for Tampa (at the 1-800-ASK-GARY Amphitheater) and West Palm Beach (at the Cruzan Amphitheatre) is looking really strong. So far, the following tours are coming to these two cities, and presumably will be part of the Mega Ticket:

Tim McGraw w/ Brantley Gilbert and Love & Theft
Blake Shelton w/ Easton Corbin and Jana Kramer
Keith Urban w/ Little Big Town and Dustin Lynch
Luke Bryan w/ Thompson Square and Florida Georgia Line

This lineup doesn’t include the Zac Brown Band, who will be hitting both cities before the Mega Ticket launches, as well as Kenny Chesney and Taylor Swift, who will be in both markets but at different venues than the amphitheaters. We are still waiting to see if the following headliners will be bringing their tours down here as well:

Brad Paisley w/ Chris Young and Lee Brice
Dierks Bentley/Miranda Lambert
Jason Aldean w/ Jake Owen and Thomas Rhett
Lady Antebellum
Rascal Flatts w/ The Band Perry
Toby Keith w/ Kip Moore

As soon as we have word of the official Mega Ticket announcement, we will pass it on!

Go Cruising With Alabama!

Fans have a rare chance to see the legendary Alabama live in concert…on a cruise ship! The Alabama and Friends Festival at Sea sets sail October 24-28 on the Norwegian Pearl from Miami to Nassau and Great Stirrup Cay in the Bahamas. The cruise is a celebration of the 40th Anniversary of Alabama’s first show.

To join the pre-sale, simply sign up by February 3rd at 11:59pm ET. You’ll be randomly assigned an Earliest Booking Time and emailed everything you need to reserve your cabin in early February.

Alabama is bringing more than a dozen musical friends to celebrate with them, treating you to amazing shows and activities throughout the 4 days! You’ll also get a chance to participate in quirky theme nights and one-of-a-kind artist collaborations that just don’t exist on land. We’ll even have our own private beach party on Great Stirrup Cay, complete with even more music, in addition to all the fabulous amenities that come along with sailing aboard the Norwegian Pearl – outfitted with multiple stages, a pool, hot tubs, bars, award-wining spa, specialty restaurants, 24-hour room service, and a full–service casino. For more information about the cruise, visit this website.

UPDATE: The rest of the lineup has been announced: Randy Travis, Diamond Rio, Craig Morgan, Natalie Stovall, Joe Bachman, Scott Munns, Striking Matches and DJ DU will be performing as well. They will also have solo shows from Randy Owen, Jeff Cook and the AGB, and Teddy Gentry’s Rockit City Band!
