If you like your rock a little Southern-fried, we’ve got the summer tour just for you.
Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Lynyrd Skynyrd and ZZ Top are co-headlining the ‘Sharp Dressed Simple Man Tour’ with special guest Uncle Kracker from July through September.
While cranking out the hits, the band will head north for a few New York and New Jersey concerts.
First, they’ll bring “Free Bird” and “Legs” to Canandaigua, NY’s Constellation Brands Performing Arts Center on Aug. 24 and Saratoga Springs, NY’s Saratoga Performing Arts Center on Sept. 8.
Next, the legendary acts will drop into Holmdel, NJ’s PNC Bank Arts Center on Sunday, Sept. 10 and Camden, NJ’s Freedom Mortgage Pavilion on Sunday, Sept. 17.
Best of all, we found prices so low they’ll have you belting out “Sweet Home Alabama.”
At the time of publication, ticket prices are going for as low as $21 before fees on Vivid Seats.
Yes, you read that right.
While that price is a last-minute outlier — most concerts have tickets starting in the $30 to $80 range — it’s hard to put a price on seeing two bucket list acts live.
