The Doobie Brothers, who recently held a 50th anniversary tour, are back for more dates this year including a stop at Ameris Bank Amphitheatre July 23 in Alpharetta.
Blues legend Robert Cray will open in Atlanta and the front half of the tour. Steve Winwood will open the second half of the tour.
Michael McDonald returned to join the band for the 2021-22 tour after a quarter-century break. Four members from the band’s “What a Fool Believes”-era are now touring. Besides McDonald, there are two founding members Patrick Simmons and Tom Johnston as well as John McFee, who joined the band in 1979.
“We’ll be playing all the iconic songs that we know you want to hear, as well a few new tunes, and deep cuts that will make this a show to remember,” Simmons told former Atlanta Journal-Constitution music reporter Melissa Ruggieri, who now is music writer for USA Today.
Tickets to the general public go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. EST via livenation.com. Citi cardmembers will have access to pre-sale tickets beginning Tuesday, Jan. 23.
The tour starts in Seattle June 15 and ends in Salt Lake City at Aug. 30.
During its 50th anniversary tour in 2022, the band, which has been attached in recent years to the Yacht Rock movement, stopped in Atlanta twice in the span of three months: Ameris in July 2022 and the Fox Theatre in October.
