Jimmy Buffett will make his first appearance on Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show next month when Fallon records a week of shows in Orlando.

He will tape four shows from June 16 through June 19 on the Universal Studios back lot. He will be here to celebrate the resort’s Wizarding World of Harry Potter-Diagon Alley.

Tickets will be released later this week using the show’s regular ticketing website.

An announcement will go out via the Twitter handle #FallonTonight to let fans know the tickets are available.

Guests for the road trip:

Monday, June 16: Jennifer Lopez, who also will perform, and Keenen Ivory Wayans.

Tuesday, June 17: Kevin Hart and Jimmy Buffett, who also will perform.

Wednesday, June 18: Tracy Morgan and musical guest Fun.

Thursday, June 19: Pitbull, who also will perform.

More guests will be announced in coming weeks, NBC said.

The show will tape on Sound Stage 20 on the Universal Studios back lot, but the musical acts will perform on the Music Plaza Stage, which is modeled on the Hollywood Bowl.

Buffett was a guest on Jimmy Fallon’s Late Night show back in 2009, and has been on The Tonight Show many times with both Johnny Carson and Jay Leno.

Jimmy Buffett will headline the first day of the Southern Ground Music & Food Festival, put on by the Zac Brown Band:

Jimmy Buffett will be performing at Hersheypark Stadium at 8 p.m. on August 30 as part of the Southern Ground Music and Food Festival, which will be held at Hershey on Labor Day Weekend.

Buffett will be the headliner for the first day of the festival, with country superstars Zac Brown Band headlining the second and final day – Aug. 31.

Alan Jackson is also scheduled to perform on the 30th.

The New Orleans Jazz Fest is in full swing and Jimmy Buffett has made a couple more appearances since grabbing a bowl of gumbo on Friday.

Buffett’s daughter Savannah is hosting some Jazz Fest programming again this year on AXS and recorded a spot with her dad at Margaritaville on Friday night. Watch the video here, which includes an acoustic performance of “Life is Just a Tire Swing.”

Then on Saturday Jimmy joined Allen Toussaint for a couple songs:

Allen Toussaint played songs spanning over half a century on New Orleans Jazz Fest’s Acura Stage Saturday afternoon. The hit parade was an autobiography in song, but like the career Toussaint’s set surveyed, the show wasn’t all about him.

An early highlight was “Sneakin’ Sally Through the Alley,” the Toussaint original Robert Palmer took as the pop-funk title track of his 1974 debut, and that was followed by “Two Trains,” another party-pleasing Toussaint song popularized by someone other than him, in its case Little Feat.

Soon after Toussaint called Jimmy Buffett to the stage to sing lead on two songs: “Fortune Teller” (you may know Benny Spellman’s version, or perhaps Robert Plant and Alison Krauss’s) and “Wave Bye Bye,” the tender Jesse Winchester ballad that moved the dense early-day crowd (many obviously homesteading for Bruce Springsteen, who plays the same stage later) to sway in unison.

NOLA.com reports that Jimmy Buffett swung by the New Orleans Jazz Fest on Friday, making a beeline for gumbo:

After parking his golf cart on the dirt track behind the Jazz & Heritage Stage, Buffett and a friend made a beeline for Food Area II. Once there, he walked right up to the Prejean’s Restaurant booth and ordered two cups of pheasant, quail and Andouille sausage gumbo.

His culinary choice shouldn’t come as a surprise: Buffett’s 1999 album “Beach House on the Moon” contained a song called, “I Will Play for Gumbo.”

And he could certainly afford the $7 price tag: When he performed at Jazz Fest in 2011, he made enough to buy about 80,000 servings.

His affection for New Orleans in general and the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival specifically is well-documented. He performs every few years with his Coral Reefer Band. In 2012, he played an acoustic set as a last-minute fill-in for an ailing Eddie Vedder.

Buffett is one of the most popular acts in the contemporary era of Jazz Fest; tens of thousands of his Parrotheads fill the field in front of the Acura Stage whenever he plays. But on Friday, in a baseball cap, sunglasses, shorts and a white polo shirt, he was able to navigate the festival grounds anonymously. Shari Menard, who sold him the gumbo at the Prejean’s booth — and provided covers for the steaming Styrofoam cups of dark roux — had no idea who he was. “I was totally shocked,” she said, when later informed by a reporter.
