Lynyrd Skynyrd Saddles Up for Fall 2026 Tour

The boys from Jacksonville aren’t done with 2026 yet. Not by a long shot.

Fresh off the Double Trouble Double Vision Tour, a 19-date amphitheater run co-headlined with fellow Rock and Roll Hall of Famers Foreigner, Lynyrd Skynyrd will launch a second leg of headlining dates this fall. The fall outing kicks off September 3 in Green Bay, Wisconsin and runs through October 4 in Highland, California. Tickets are on sale through the band’s official site, with VIP packages available for fans who want to get a little closer to the smoke and the steel guitar.

The Foreigner tour, produced by Live Nation with Six Gun Sally opening every date, was the kind of pairing that classic rock radio programmers dream about. Two catalogs deep enough to fill a whole night, dueling guitars, and the easy chemistry of bands that have been doing this for half a century. By the time the August 29 closer hit the Walmart AMP in Rogers, Arkansas, both camps had logged enough miles to call it a season. Most bands would. Skynyrd isn’t most bands.

The fall itinerary is a working man’s tour, hopping from county fairs to casino theaters to the wine country amphitheaters that classic rock road dogs have come to call a second home. The opener at Green Bay’s Capital Credit Union Park sets the tone, and the very next night they pull into Dyersville, Iowa, to play Velocity at Field of Dreams alongside Shinedown. Yes, that Field of Dreams. The cornfield itself.

Here’s the full slate of announced fall 2026 headline dates:

• September 3, Green Bay, WI, Capital Credit Union Park
• September 4, Dyersville, IA, Velocity at Field of Dreams (with Shinedown)
• September 5, Elkhorn, WI, Walworth County Fair
• September 25, Reno, NV, Reno Events Center
• September 26, Ridgefield, WA, Ilani Event Center
• September 27, Umatilla, OR, Rock The Locks Music Festival
• September 29, Eugene, OR, Cuthbert Amphitheater
• October 1, Saratoga, CA, The Mountain Winery
• October 2, Murphys, CA, Ironstone Amphitheatre (with Foghat and Molly Hatchet)
• October 3, Las Vegas, NV, The Pearl
• October 4, Highland, CA, Yaamava Theater

The October 2 stop at Ironstone Amphitheatre in Murphys is the one circled on every Southern rock purist’s calendar. Skynyrd, Foghat, and Molly Hatchet on the same bill in the Sierra Nevada foothills is the kind of night that makes the long drive worth it. Three bands, three eras, one common language of slide guitar and twin leads.

The Yaamava Theater closer in Highland puts a tidy California bow on the run, with a casino-room vibe that suits a band built for both arenas and roadhouses. By then, Skynyrd will have logged a full year of live work between the Foreigner co-headline leg, summer headline stops with Loverboy in West Palm Beach, Tampa, and Tinley Park, the annual return to the Sturgis Buffalo Chip on August 11, and the fall outing.

The current lineup that will carry these shows is anchored by vocalist Johnny Van Zant, who has been carrying the torch for his late brother Ronnie since 1987, alongside Rickey Medlocke, Damon Johnson, Mark “Sparky” Matejka, Michael Cartellone, Robbie Harrington, Peter Keys, Carol Chase, and Stacy Plunk. A typical Skynyrd headline set runs ninety to one hundred and five minutes, traditionally opening with “Workin’ for MCA” off 1974’s Second Helping and building toward the inevitable double encore of “Sweet Home Alabama” and “Free Bird,” with mid-set rotation tracks like “I Know a Little” and “Cry for the Bad Man” keeping the deep-cut crowd honest.

Forty years on, the conversation around Lynyrd Skynyrd has shifted from what they’ve lost to what they’ve kept. Van Zant’s voice. Medlocke’s snarl. The opening notes of “Sweet Home Alabama,” which still empties beer cups across America the second Cartellone hits the snare. The fall tour is another chapter in a story that, by any reasonable measure, should have ended in a Mississippi swamp on October 20, 1977. That it hasn’t is its own kind of miracle.

Catch them while you can.
