Alabama Shakes confirmed their return to the road with their first tour dates since 2017. The beloved band will embark on a North American headline run beginning in July, bringing along an impressive roster of support acts.
“Last year, Heath, Zac, and I started chatting about how much fun it would be to make music together and tour again as Alabama Shakes,” said vocalist/guitarist Brittany Howard. “This band and these songs have been such a source of joy for all of us.” Howard and bandmates guitarist Heath Fogg and bassist Zac Cockrell also promised fans new songs are on the way from sessions held with longtime collaborator Shawn Everett.
