Lynyrd Skynyrd

1970's Florida Rock’n’roll legends Lynyrd Skynyrd are set to make their triumphant return to the United Kingdom in 2025 for their first UK visit since 2019, bringing the unmistakable sounds of one of rock’s most iconic acts back to British shores.

Celebrating 50 Years of Lynyrd Skynyrd’ marks half a century since the release of their groundbreaking debut album Pronounced 'Lĕh-'nérd 'Skin-'nérd. Five decades in, Lynyrd Skynyrd continue to captivate audiences worldwide with their electrifying performances and timeless blues rock music.

At the height of their fame in the 1970s, the band popularised the Southern rock genre with songs such as "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Free Bird" before their career was abruptly halted on October 20, 1977, when their airplane crashed, killing lead singer Ronnie Van Zant, guitarist Steve Gaines, and backup singer Cassie Gaines, and seriously injuring the rest of the band.

Today the line-up includes longtime drummer Rickey Medlocke and Ronnie's younger brother Johnny Van Zant, who took over vocals in 1987.
