Rock and Roll Hall of Fame members Tom Petty and his Heartbreakers have just announced plans for their upcoming summer tour. The legendary heartland rock band from Gainesville, Florida who have churned out more than thirty hit singles, have revealed dates that include shows with Crosby, Stills and Nash, Joe Cocker, My Morning Jacket, the Drive-By Truckers and an appearance at Milwaukee’s Summerfest. They’re returning to Cincinnati’s Riverbend Music Center with the Drive-By Truckers on Thursday, July 15. Tickets go onsale to the public on Monday, March 15, but there’s a presale on Monday, March 8 at 10 am.
In other Riverbend news, tickets for Dave Matthews June 15 show with Robert Earl Keen go onsale to the public tomorrow morning at 10 am. Pavilion seats are priced at $70 plus fees, while the popular lawn ticket is priced at $40 plus fees. I can remember the very first Dave show I went to back in ’97 at Riverbend, and pavilion seats were just $25. My how times have changed!
