Summer Tour Announcement Coming

March 10th, 2012


Our forum moderator Jollymon345 (Dean) was listening to Radio Margaritaville this morning and reports that DJ Steve revealed some details on Jimmy’s summer tour. Rest assured, there WILL be a summer tour this year.

Here’s a rundown of what Steve said:

1. The Welcome to Fin Land Tour is running until April in the midwest.

2. The new tour will be starting in May.

3. Tickets and date announcements will be end of March beginning of April.

4. Jimmy will be doing a lot of songs that he hasn’t done in a long time. Since Peter Mayer said earlier during an interview that Jimmy may do more albums like Volcano Live 2011 and he brought up A1A maybe he will be dipping back to some older stuff.

5. Steve commented about how people have been emailing RM and asking about the new tour and thought that Jimmy was retiring. He said it was not true.
