Country group Alabama will celebrate 50 years of making music with a 2019 headlining tour. The trek is set to begin January 10 in Detroit, MI and will run through September.

“We never thought playing for tips at the Bowery in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, that 50 years later we would still playing arenas, stadiums and festivals,” shared the band’s frontman Randy Owen. “Teddy, Jeff and I are humbled at the amount of fans that are coming out to see us,” he added. “We are finding out that we are playing to three generations of fans who have followed us and our music from day one. The fans are the ones responsible for our continued success on the road and we love them.”

“Randy, Teddy and I have loved making music, touring and being with our fans night after night,” explained bandmate Jeff Cook. “It’s truly an experience that has created a bond between us and them that cannot be broken. The 50th Anniversary Tour will be full of surprises and great memories.”

Because of the massive celebration of five decades of music, Alabama has invited some of their closest musical buddies along for the ride. Joining the group out on the road for select dates will be Charlie Daniels Band, Marshall Tucker Band, Oak Ridge Boys, Restless Heart, Chris Janson, Tracy Lawrence and Exile.
