Could a Hawaii show be on the horizon for Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band?

In the pre-show interview on Radio Margaritaville before Saturday night’s Orlando concert, Jimmy said that they’d be performing in a place with a “Polynesian atmosphere very, very soon.”

Buffett last played Hawaii when he performed at his Jimmy Buffett’s at the Beachcomber restaurant in 2010. His last big venue show was in 2009 when he played shows at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center and the Waikiki Shell.

We’ll post more information when it’s available.

Last week five additional Jimmy Buffett shows were announced for February and March. Tickets for these shows go on sale this Friday and Saturday.

As you probably know, scoring tickets to see Jimmy Buffett can sometimes be difficult. This is especially true in places that he hasn’t been in a while, which is the case for all but one of these shows. Be sure to read our Ticket Buying Tips for your best chance at getting face value tickets.

If you miss out on tickets through Ticketmaster, you can still find tickets (though at a premium) through reseller sites like TicketNetwork or eBay.
