Dates are beginning to trickle out for the 2009 edition of Jimmy
Buffett's traditional summer tour schedule, which shows no signs of
slowing.
Buffett's "Summerzcool" tour is currently slated to kick off Feb. 24
at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center and Feb. 28 at the Waikiki Shell in
Honolulu. The tour will vsit the Verizon Wireless Amphitheatre in
Charlotte, N.C., on April 21, and the Time Warner Music Pavilion at
Walnut Creek in Raleigh, N.C., on April 23, a venue Buffett played for
the first time in years in 2008.
A date has also been penciled in at the DTE Energy Music Theatre in
Detroit on Aug. 13.
Rumored tour dates online include two-night stands at Toyota Park in
the Chicago suburb of Bridgeview, the Susquehanna Bank Center in
Camden, N.J., the Comcast Center in Mansfield, Mass., the MGM Grand
Garden Arena in Las Vegas and New York's Madison Square Garden.
Later this year, Buffett, who turned 62 on Christmas Day, will release
a live acoustic CD comprised of songs he traditionally performs in the
final encore of each show, either alone or with guitarist Mac
McAnally. In addition, two Buffett songs -- re-recordings of
"Margaritaville" and "Volcano" -- were recently made available for the
"Rock Band 2" video game on the Wii.
