New York,NY (Lynyrd Skynyrd &
3 Doors Down Official Websites) - Two of the biggest Southern Rock bands in the history of this country will be heading out on the road together for the first time ever this summer.
Lynyrd Skynyrd &
3 Doors Down will co-headline the 15 city 'Double Trouble Summer Tour.'
Lynyrd Skynyrd lead singer Johnny Van Zant commented, "We've been trying to go on the road with these guys for a while. We've done a few events together, but our schedules haven't worked out before now. We're excited about these shows. It's going to be a high energy, old school meets new school Southern Rock concert you don't want to miss." Gary Rossington adds, "We're going to double the pleasure, double the fun and double the trouble on this tour!"
'It's going to be an honor to share the same stage with these guys every night,' 3 Doors Down lead singer Brad Arnold said. 'Like so many others, I grew up listening to Lynyrd Skynyrd. We've been friends with the guys for years, so it's going to be great to finally get to tour together.'
With more than 26 million albums sold to date, Lynyrd Skynyrd has become an American staple and a permanent fixture in rock n' roll history. In celebration of the band's recent induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, two new collections featuring the legendary southern rockers have been released. A Deluxe Edition CD+DVD package of Gimme Back My Bullets expands the band's classic album, while Family brings together all of the most popular Skynyrd tracks and those from its familial configurations, including 38 Special, the Rossington Collins Band and Johnny Van Zant. One of the hardest working groups in music today, Lynyrd Skynyrd performs hundreds of shows each year.
The 12x Platinum selling band 3 Doors Down will be touring in continued support of their latest smash hit album Seventeen Days, which was one of the top five selling rock albums of 2005. With six No 1 singles already under their belt: "Kryptonite," "Duck & Run," "Loser," "Be Like That," "When I'm Gone" and "Here Without You," 3 Doors Down have been one of the most successful and most popular rock bands of the 21st century.
