Alabama Gearing Up For 50th Anniversary Tour

Iconic country band Alabama have announced plans to hit the road in 2019 for a U.S. tour to celebrate the group’s 50th anniversary.

Chris Janson, Tracy Lawrence, Restless Heart, Exile, Charlie Daniels Band, the Marshall Tucker Band and the Oak Ridge Boys will be joining the Country Music Hall of Famers on select dates during the tour.

“We never thought playing for tips at The Bowery in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, that 50 years later we would still playing arenas, stadiums and festivals,” says Alabama frontman Randy Owen. “Teddy, Jeff and I are humbled at the amount of fans that are coming out to see us. We are finding out that we are playing to three generations of fans who have followed us and our music from day one. The fans are the ones responsible for our continued success on the road and we love them.”
