Louisville Tour Date Rumored for March

January 5th, 2012


A Jimmy Buffett show in Little Rock, Arkansas was confirmed this morning, and there’s rumor of another show two days later in Louisville, KY.

WHAS 84 Louisville radio host Terry Meiners tweeted:

Soon-to-be-announced Louisville concerts: Jimmy Buffett (March 3); Madonna (November 2012)

This would fit in line with Jimmy’s typical schedule. The Little Rock show is on a Thursday night and Louisville would be Saturday.

A venue was not specified, but the KFC Yum! Center seems to be a logical choice. We’ll post more information when we get it.

Jiffy Lube Live Lifts Tailgating Ban

January 4th, 2012


Rejoice parrotheads! After banning tailgating last year, Jiffy Lube Live in Bristow, Virginia reversed course and announced today that they are lifting the ban:

Jiffy Lube Live, which is owned and operated by concert promotion colossus Live Nation, says that the decision was inspired by their patrons’ unhappiness over the ban.

“Fan feedback is critical to help improve our operations and create the best possible concert experience for our fans,” Matt Rogers, the venue’s general manager, said in an email. “The decision was made after listening to our fans and doing our due diligence.”

Rogers says that meant researching the tailgating policies of more than 30 sports arenas and concert venues across the country to find out what works and what doesn’t.

“With the new policy and guidelines, we want nothing more than to work with our fans to create a safe and friendly “pre-concert” environment,” he said.

So here are the rules. Grills will now be allowed. Tents and canopies will still be forbidden. Driving aisles must be kept clear of chairs and tables. And members of the Prince William County police, the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control and Jiffy Lube Live staff will continue to enforce a ban on open alcohol containers in the parking lot. Underage drinking will also be targeted aggressively, Rogers said.

“Jiffy Lube [Live] coordinated with us in making this policy change and we feel that their operational plan will create a safe and manageable environment in the parking lot,” said Maj. Stephen Hudson, Assistant Chief of the Prince William County police in an email.

Jiffy Lube Live (formerly Nissan Pavilion) outside of Washington, DC has been an annual stop for Jimmy Buffett for years.
