Looking for a good dose of Southern rock? Get excited! Lynyrd Skynyrd, the legendary band from Florida, is preparing to tour Europe in 2025. What's on the agenda? A series of concerts at festivals such as Rock Fest Barcelona in Spain, the Ferrara Summer Festival in Italy and the Tollwood Festival in Germany.
In France, Lynyrd Skynyrd will be holding an indoor concert at the Zénith de Paris on Thursday, July 10, 2025. What about tickets? Gérard Drouot Productions has announced that pre-sales will start on Thursday January 23 at 11am. The general on-sale date is Friday January 24 at 11am, available at all sales outlets.
With over 30 million albums sold worldwide, Lynyrd Skynyrd- inducted into the Rock 'n Roll Hall Of Fame in 2006 - remain a musical benchmark for many, thanks in particular to the 1974 release of their second opus,"Second Helping". Marked by the hit " Sweet Home Alabama ", this record was certified platinum several times over.
This was followed by"Gimme Back my bullets", and"Street survivor", released just three days before the terrible plane crash that claimed the lives of singer Ronnie Van Zant and guitarist Steve Gaines.
The band was finally re-formed 10 years later with the survivors and Johnny Van Zant - Ronnie's brother - on vocals. Sadly, Billy Powell passed away in 2009. As for guitarist Gary Rossington, the last original member and founder of the band, he passed away in 2023 at the age of 71.
This concert at the Zénith in Paris will be an opportunity for Lynyrd Skynyrd to celebrate 50 years in the music business, but also to pay tribute to their departed members.
Lynyrd Skynyrd last performed in Paris in 2015. Back then, the Southern rock band took over the Palais des Sports. The American band then returned to France in 2019, for a show at Hellfest.
To (re)discover the southern rock sound of Lynyrd Skynyrd live, join us at Le Zénith in Paris on July 10, 2025!
