Lynyrd Skynyrd announces 2022 tour dates

Published on 03/08/2022

7 months after guitarist Gary Rossington, who were part of the band’s classic line-up had to do an emergency heart surgery, Lynyrd Skynyrd announced they will be back on the road in 2022 and Rossington will be on stage. The “Big Wheels Keep On Turnin'” tour will have ex-Eagles guitarist Don Felder, The Marshall Tucker Band, The Outlaws, Dave Mason and Devon Allman Project as the opening acts in some dates.

Formed in Jacksonville, Florida back in 1964, Lynyrd Skynyrd spent five years touring and changing their line-up before chosing their name. From 1973 until 1977 they released 5 albums that became the most famous Southern Rock albums in history and gave the world hits like “Sweet Home Alabama” and “Free Bird”.

On October 20, 1977, their chartered airplane crashed, killing vocalist Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines, and backup singer Cassie Gaines and seriously injuring the rest of the band. The group returned in 1987 with Ronnie’s brother Johnny Van Zant that remains until today the group’s vocalist.

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
