Lynyrd Skynyrd<\/a> has 10 new shows on their calendar, including six for later in 2026. Looking further down the road, four more dates have already been set for mid-2027. <\/p>\n

Their current summer run with Foreigner<\/a>, titled Double Trouble Double Vision<\/a>, continues through the rest of this month. Then the band is switching to headlining shows into the fall. This next leg begins in early September in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and had been set to last until October.<\/p>\n

A pair of shows has now been added on Nov. 13 and Nov. 15. Four more were also wedged into the week of Sept. 16 through 24. See a complete list of dates, cities and venues below. Check out Lynyrd Skynyrd’s official website<\/a> for more information and tickets.<\/p>\n

When Does Lynyrd Skynyrd Play in 2026?<\/h3>\n

Expect Lynyrd Skynyrd to close every night with a soaring rendition of “Free Bird,” as has become their more recent tradition. Long-time frontman Johnny Van Zant actually didn’t sing it with the group at first, partly out of grief for his late brother Ronnie, who originally composed and sang the track.<\/p>\n

Johnny debuted with Lynyrd Skynyrd on Sept. 23, 1987, at California’s Concord Pavilion as part of a short six-week tour<\/a> meant to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of the plane crash<\/a> that killed three members of the band, including Ronnie Van Zant. It turned into a reunion that continues to this day. <\/p>\n

“Free Bird” was presented back then as an instrumental. “I’m not going to sing this song,” Johnny memorably said during the first reunion show<\/a>, “because there is only one man who can sing this song.” People in the stands would fill in the lyrics. <\/p>\n

It went on that way for a while \u2013 until Lynyrd Skynyrd co-founder Gary Rossington<\/a> changed his mind. <\/p>\n

“When I first started with the band, it was a really cool thing to me, I thought, how the crowd sang it,” Johnny recently told UCR<\/a>, “but he said, ‘You know what? Your brother was a writer and a singer, and he wrote those words. He would want you to sing it.’ And from that point on, I’ve been singing it ever since.”<\/p>\n

Besides Foreigner, Lynyrd Skynyrd’s will share stages on their remaining dates with Molly Hatchet<\/a>, 38 Special<\/a>, Foghat<\/a>, Loverboy<\/a>, Ten Years After<\/a> and 10cc<\/a>, among others.<\/p>\n

For all of its woolly, trapped-in-the-’70s imagery, the genre has proven surprisingly resilient.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
