In October, Denver Arts & Venues made the decision to close all of its venues until further notice. The iconic Morrison, CO amphitheater and its operating agency, Denver Arts & Venues, have yet to announce “official” plans for approaching Red Rocks’ concert season, which typically begins in April. As we know all too well, however, no dates are set in stone in the age of the coronavirus. The famous venue has a full slate of shows on its calendar for its 2021 season, which typically begins in April, from rescheduled 2020 shows alone. Take Red Rocks Amphitheatre, for example. While the picture remains unclear, there are plenty of venues with dates on the books for 2021-mostly those rescheduled from 2020 when the timeline of the pandemic was, in general, widely underestimated. Vaccines are being distributed across the United States as thousands of venues are finally able to apply for federal assistance thanks to the Save Our Stages provision in the latest stimulus package.

June 13 – Forest City, IA – Country Thunder Iowa ![]() JUST ANNOUNCED: Lynyrd Skynyrd 2021 tour dates ( subject to change): I don't know - it's hard to talk about, because it's not relatable, y'know? There's only a few people or a few bands that have been around this long.” Y'know, a lot of groups don't have this longevity and stuff, and it's just great to be here doing it. Gary Rossington told us that he's both proud and amazed at Skynyrd's longevity: “My mind's blown that we've been around this long and still doing it, and we're God-blessed in that way. We’re still standing, still keeping the music going.” And maybe it’s our time to lift people’s spirits and lives and bring back some joy and happiness after so much turmoil this past year. And since that time, we have been talking amongst the band, and realized that music has such a way of healing. Skynyrd's sole surviving co-founding member, guitarist Gary Rossington added, “Covid turned our world upside down. A Skynyrd show is a family affair, and we want these dates to help heal our fans as much as ourselves.” Music is a great healer, and that’s what we all turn to when things are good or bad. Once something is taken away from you - music and touring in our case - you truly realize how important it is and such a part of your life. Tesla is on board as the primary opener for the majority of the tour, with Kansas, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts, Blackberry Smoke, Allman Betts Band, and the Marshall Tucker Band warming up for Skynyrd at assorted stops.įrontman Johnny Van Zant - who recently battled the coronavirus - explained the band's change of heart regarding the road: “We were two shows into the end of the three-year plan for the farewell tour, when the virus hit and everything was just gone. Lynyrd Skynyrd are heading back on the road - and have decided to scrap their “Last Of The Street Survivors Farewell Tour,” instead dubbing the new run - the “Big Wheels Keep On Turnin' Tour.” As it stands now, Skynyrd kicks the 30-date tour off on June 13th in Forest City, Iowa at the Country Thunder Iowa, and wraps things up on November 19th at Bossier City, Louisiana's Brookshire Grocery Arena. ![]()
