tmp90ecefa8-a3d6-4ee4-a62c-97501a678a40-jpg

Alabama has announced two new stops in Nashville in 2021 as part of their delayed 50th Anniversary Tour. The trio is set to perform at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on July 2 and July 3 with special guest Martina McBride.

Alabama had to postpone more than 25 shows on their 50th Anniversary Tour in 2019 as frontman Randy Owen dealt with vertigo and migraines.  The band planned to resume their tour in 2020, however, the COVID-19 pandemic put a stop to all touring and live shows.  Alabama’s show at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena was originally scheduled for Nov. 20, 2019, then rescheduled for July 17, 2020, with an additional date set for July 18, 2020. The late Charlie Daniels, who died on July 6, had been slated to join Alabama at both Nashville shows.

Additional tour dates for Alabama’s 50th Anniversary Tour will be announced in the coming months. Tickets are on sale now.
