Alabama Shakes Hitting Philadelphia On First Tour In Years

PHILADELPHIA — Rockers Alabama Shakes are heading back out on tour after an eight-year absence.

The four-time Grammy-winning band will head to TD Pavilion at The Mann in Philadelphia on Sept. 18.

Alabama Shakes will be joined by The Budos Band in Philadelphia.

"Last year, Heath, Zac, and I started chatting about how much fun it would be to make music together and tour again as Alabama Shakes," vocalist and guitarist Brittany Howard said. "This band and these songs have been such a source of joy for all of us. It is crazy that it has been 10 years since we released Sound and Color and eight years since we played a show. But, we didn’t want this to entirely be a look back. We wanted it to be as much about the future as the past. So we have a bunch of new music that will be released soon. We just can’t wait to experience that 'feeling' when we start playing those first few notes of 'Don’t Wanna Fight' or 'Gimme All Your Love.'"
