I have been getting a lot of e-mails lately from people wanting to know when Jimmy Buffett’s tour dates for 2008 will be announced. Looking at the past few years, a pretty good argument can be made that they will come out in 3-4 weeks (around mid-February).

In 2007, the first dates were announced on BuffettWorld in mid-February. Those announced at that time included the September Gillette Stadium shows, the July Tinley Park and Alpine Valley shows, and April shows in Dallas and Houston. More dates were confirmed at the end of February: Indy, Bristow VA, Pittsburgh, and Cincy.

In 2006, Margaritaville.com posted the first tour dates on February 11th for the April tour leg. The June and August shows of that year were announced on February 23rd.

And in 2005, spring and summer dates weren’t announced until late February and early March.

So if history is any guide, I’d guess early February the rumor mill will heat up and in mid-February we’ll start getting some solid dates. This of course may not be accurate, but should be close.

The best and quickest way to get Buffett tour dates when they are announced is by signing up for BuffettWorld news updates. You can do that here!

Expect additional tour dates for the 2007 Bama Breeze Tour to be announced soon. Tour t-shirts at Saturday night’s show in Houston list the following cities that haven’t yet been announced:

Atlantic City, NJ
Uncasville, CT
New York, NY
Honolulu, HI
Hollywood, CA
Las Vegas, NV

One of our forum members heard on a radio station today that tickets for Atlantic City will go on sale Monday through the Boardwalk Hall box office and Ticketmaster. The show is expected to be either Friday, June 29th or Saturday, June 30th.
